(Production note: sparse electronic pulse like a syncopated sub-bass heartbeat; analog synth pads, minimal percussion early. Dynamics annotated throughout. Vocal style: male, dark low timbre — quiet and intimate in verses, builds to layered distortion and a raw scream in the bridge/last chorus.)
Intro (low — sparse pulse, ambient pad)
I trace the glow on my screen, your name in blue at 2 AM,
Held the phone like a lifeline — your laugh across a cracked connection.
Time zones stacked between us, you at dawn, me chasing midnight,
Dropped signals, frozen smiles, promises buffering in slow motion.
Verse 1 (very low — sparse heartbeat, intimate)
Maya, I learned every pause in your voice, the way you said "I'm fine,"
I counted airplanes and calendars, framed futures in timezone lines.
We whispered plans through cables — a table, a tiny hand someday,
You signed the map with soft goodbyes and left the route to fray.
Pre-Chorus (rising — add analog pad, subtle snare build)
But you kept reopening old wounds like emails with no send,
Stirring ash from years before until the letters bent.
Maya, why light the match just to watch the room combust?
Why call me fragile then blame me when I break the trust?
Chorus (punchy, heartbeat motif — deep synth thump)
Maya — my heart skips, then it breaks: thump-thump, thump — you let it ache.
Maya — across these wires your silence hits like a quake.
Maya — you threw our future in a trash bin of late-night fights,
Thump-thump, thump — my heartbeat calls your name into the night.
Verse 2 (low then building — more textured synths)
We rehearsed forever on a cracked screen, rehearsed our vows in texts,
I kept screenshots of small mercies — your ‘‘good mornings’’, your late-night breaths.
I traced the hours you were logged online but never called me back,
You fanned every old flame, turned soft apologies into attack.
Pre-Chorus 2 (tighter, more urgent rhythm)
You kept a ledger of my slips and blurred every single grace,
Left our calendar unread, let our plans evaporate without a trace.
Maya, did you ever carry us like I carried you on midnight calls?
Or was I just a phantom voice inside your hollow walls?
Bridge (builds to raw climax — dense electronic crescendo)
Maya! (low, then climbing) Why dig up ghosts just to watch me bleed?
Maya! (add distorted doubling) Why throw matches in a house we tried to keep?
I screamed into the static, into a line that cracked and lied —
[MAYA! — FULL-THROAT SCREAM / RAW — HOLD, let the synth shudder]
(Male voice: dark, low timbre rises to raw scream here)
Final Chorus (explosive — layered distortion, vocal doubling, scream annotation)
Maya — my heart skips, then it breaks: thump-thump, thump — you let it ache.
Maya — you unplugged our future and watched the wires take the weight.
Maya — I called your name until my throat was only glass and air,
Thump-thump, THUMP — (last line screamed: [SCREAM — REND THE WORDS]) Maya! Maya!
Outro (falling back — heartbeat fades to a single pulse, breath
