Concrete Skin
Alternative metal and hard rock with a slow-to-mid pulse, syncopated riffs, and crushing downbeat accents; soft guitar and piano intro opens tender, then the first verse grows gritty, pre-chorus tightens with tom hits, chorus slams with stacked shouts and low growls, saxophone breakdown cuts through the middle, then a primal scream after the intro and a final chorus with layered screams and harmonized cleans. Deep male lead, tortured screamed doubles, short delay throws on key words, wide cinematic mix with raw low-end bite., deep, soft, hard rock, saxophone, male vocals, alternative metal

Lyrics
Intro
Soft hands on the keys
A thin guitar line
My name in the dark
(I’m still alive)
Verse 1
I woke with ash in my mouth
Your shadow on the wall
Cold floor, bare feet
I heard the house crawl
A bottle by the sink
A shirt on the chair
I stood in the wreckage
Like you were still there
Pre-Chorus
I can’t hold this frame
It keeps shaking apart
I’m under the skin
I’m under the scar
Chorus
Somebody save me
(Somebody save me)
I’m falling again
I’m bleeding in circles
Somebody save me
(Somebody save me)
Before I vanish
Before I break open
Post-Chorus
Save me
Save me
(I’m not okay)
Save me
Verse 2
Your voice in my chest
Like glass in my lungs
I bite down hard
Till the truth comes undone
These hands keep twitching
For a door that won’t close
I wear this hurt
Like a second set of bones
Pre-Chorus
I can’t hold this frame
It keeps shaking apart
I’m under the skin
I’m under the scar
Chorus
Somebody save me
(Somebody save me)
I’m falling again
I’m bleeding in circles
Somebody save me
(Somebody save me)
Before I vanish
Before I break open
Breakdown
Sax cuts through the smoke
Like a knife in the ribs
Breath turns to iron
And the whole room skips
Bridge
I screamed at the ceiling
I screamed at my name
The mirror kept smiling
Like it knew my shame
If you can hear me
If you’re still near
Pull me from the concrete
Pull me from the fear
Final Chorus
Somebody save me
(Somebody save me)
I’m falling again
I’m bleeding in circles
Somebody save me
(Somebody save me)
Hold me together
Or leave me in pieces
Somebody save me
(Somebody save me)
I’m screaming it raw
Till the night answers back
