Stay Awhile

Lyrics

[Intro] [Glitch pads, siren synth, slow chugs ignite|Whispery female,close-mic] Have you noticed, When it goes quiet, The darkness inside gets loud… [Verse1] [Down-tuned chugs, tight drums, neon arp pulse|Low grit, controlled] When you’re down bad, It feels like the world's against you, No one's around, And your thoughts betray you, Rock bottom may feel, Like a basement with no doors to find, But storms move on, Even inside your mind… [Pre-Chorus] [cliff climbs, hi-hat opens, sub swells|Rising belt to rasp] If you can’t feel hope, Run on autopilot, Hold on one more minute, Let the weight start slipping… [Chorus] [Huge guitars+sidechained synth lead,4-on-floor lift|Soaring female belt + rough scream accents] Please stay a while, Please stay a while, Don’t give away forever, Over a temporary misfire, Please stay a while, Please stay a while, This hurts a glitch, Not your final life trial, Please stay a while, Please stay a while, Hold on for one minute, Let the dark run out, Please stay a while… I’ll show you why you matter, Right here and now, [Verse 2] [Palm-mutes, syncopated kicks, industrial textures|Tighter cadence, rawer] I don’t know your scars, Or where they started, But I know that void, That leaves you guarded, Feeling unworthy of the air, You’re breathing, Like you’re a problem, That deserves deleting, Don’t pay the ultimate price, For a fleeting moment, When seconds can, Flip the whole script if you own it, So, don't let go, 'Cause you can't undo it, Once it's chosen… [Breakdown] [Half-time crush, stutter FX, low synth growl|Female screams then whisper] As you are, only happens once, No duplicate saved, No second run, [Bridge] [Clean guitar + shimmering synth choir, then builds to drop|Tender to triumphant] You’re rare in a world that copies, Reboots and over does it, So zoom out, breathe in, Count the blessing of life, You've been given, It can still be beautiful, When you give yourself, A chance to exist in it, Not obvious, not easy, Not neat, not clean, Still worth it, Still yours, Still unseen… [Final Chorus] [Biggest drop, octave riffs, bright EDM hook under chugs|Belt + grit, anthem] Please stay a while, please stay a while, You’re not a mistake, You’re a one-time wildfire, Please stay a while, Live for yourself, not their mouths, Not their doubt, Please stay a while, Let your success be the thing, That shuts them down, Please stay a while, Hold on with all you’ve got, Till the darkness runs out, Please stay a while, One day you’ll be glad, You didn’t leave, [Outro] [Riffs fade into synth mist, heartbeat sub|Soft, relieved] Thank you for staying… One day you'll see, What you saved… [Fades Out]
