Genre: Indie-Folk or Acoustic Ballad. Think along the lines of Phoebe Bridgers or early Bon Iver.Instrumentation: Start with a simple, melancholic acoustic guitar fingerpicking pattern or a lonely piano. Keep the production "stripped back" and raw to match the vulnerability of the lyrics.Vocal Delivery:Verses: Sung in a soft, breathy, almost conversational tone.Chorus: The vocals should feel heavier and more strained, emphasizing the "weight" mentioned in your original text.Outro: Fade out into a near-whisper on the final line. "A golden mask worn through the day,To keep the haunting ghosts at bay.You’re the one who laughs the loudest,Standing tall, acting the proudest.The friend who answers every call,Prepared to catch us if we fall.With every joke and bright-eyed gaze,You set the heavy world ablaze.(Chorus)But a sun that burns to give us light,Is cold as winter deep inside.Beyond the grin, beyond the will,There is a dark and hollow chill.A secret place where shadows grow,A bitter tide we’ll never know.(Verse 2)When evening comes and doors are locked,The happy cradle finally stops.It’s dark, with nothingness, a heavy grey,As all the happiness fades away.In that room of quiet gloom,The loneliness finds space to bloom.Then comes the day the laughter stops,And every golden curtain drops.(Bridge)There was no sign, it’s a lie,They were so bright, they were so kind.Not a single cloud in mind,Now they search for reasons they won’t find.Bewildered by the sudden end,Of such a vibrant, cheerful friend.(Outro)The mask is off, the truth is clear,In every shed and salted tear.You gave us joy you couldn’t keep,And now, at last, you get to sleep."
Lyrics
[verse]
A golden mask worn through the day,
To keep the haunting ghosts at bay.
You’re the one who laughs the loudest,
Standing tall, acting the proudest.
The friend who answers every call,
Prepared to catch us if we fall.
With every joke and bright-eyed gaze,
You set the heavy world ablaze.
[chorus]
But a sun that burns to give us light,
Is cold as winter deep inside.
Beyond the grin, beyond the will,
There is a dark and hollow chill.
A secret place where shadows grow,
A bitter tide we’ll never know.
[break]
[verse]
When evening comes and doors are locked,
The happy cradle finally stops.
It’s dark, with nothingness, a heavy grey,
As all the happiness fades away.
In that room of quiet gloom,
The loneliness finds space to bloom.
Then comes the day the laughter stops,
And every golden curtain drops.
[bridge]
There was no sign, it’s a lie,
They were so bright, they were so kind.
Not a single cloud in mind,
Now they search for reasons they won’t find.
Bewildered by the sudden end,
Of such a vibrant, cheerful friend.
[outro]
The mask is off, the truth is clear,
In every shed and salted tear.
You gave us joy you couldn’t keep,
And now, at last, you get to sleep.
