Broken Screen

Matthew Dansby
emo punchy live drums Crunchy Emo pop-punk with driving palm-muted guitars and a tight half-time lift into the chorus; verses stay close and tense pre-chorus opens with stacked gang vocals chorus hits wide with octave doubles and shouted replies. Add tape-stop glitches before the second chorus a reversed guitar swell into the bridge and a final key change for the last hook. Bright and emotionally raw with intimate lead vocal and pleading harmonies.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I saved your name
Under cracked glass
Now every ping
Feels like the past

Your hoodie on
The back of my chair
Still holds your shape
Like you were there

[Pre-Chorus]
I bite my tongue
Till it bleeds in my mouth
Say I'm fine
But it all spills out

[Chorus]
Don't look at me like that
Like I won't break
Don't look at me like that
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Don't look at me like that
I still feel you stay

[Verse 2]
Your toothbrush cup
Still on the sink
I count the tiles
When I can't think

I wear the hurt
Like a cheap old coat
Zip it up tight
Then choke on hope

[Pre-Chorus]
I bite my tongue
Till it bleeds in my mouth
Say I'm fine
But it all spills out

[Chorus]
Don't look at me like that
Like I won't break
Don't look at me like that
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Don't look at me like that
I still feel you stay

[Bridge]
If I could rip
Your echo out
I'd learn to breathe
Without the doubt

But every room
You live in me
A ghost with my face
I can't unsee

[Final Chorus]
Don't look at me like that
Like I won't break
Don't look at me like that
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Don't look at me like that
I still feel you stay
