[Intro - 6 bars, sparse tremolo-picked guitar alone, shimmer reverb trailing, distant hum panned wide, single guitar note ringing, no vocal yet]

[Guitar Wash - 2 bars, high tremolo strings over a sustained low chord, drifting across the stereo field, fading to breath]

[Verse 1 - bass pulse enters, brushed drums underneath, vocal close and breathy, almost whispered]

You trace my face like you're memorizing something,

like you're trying to make the picture stay.

I let you hold me a little too gently,

and for a second I forget which name to say.

[Guitar Wash - answer phrase, panned behind, decaying into shimmer]

[Pre-Chorus - bass drops to one note, guitar harmonics blooming around the vocal, voice shifts from whisper to supported tone]

I want to be the one you're seeing,

not the outline of somebody gone.

But my eyes still hold an old exposure,

and it won't fade, no matter how long.

[Held Silence - 1 bar → drums crash in together → reverb tail fills 2 bars]

[Chorus - full wall of sound activates, bass riff rises, layered tremolo guitars, drums shift to powerful half-time, vocal lead center with harmonies spiraling outward]

I'm an afterimage,

burning behind your eyes.

I'm close but I'm distant,

I'm real but disguised.

I'm an afterimage,

a light that won't let go.

You'll never see me clearly—

just the shape of what you used to know.

[Guitar Wash - 4 bars, layered tremolo riff repeating, second guitar entering from above, building then pulling back]

[Verse 2 - drums thin to cymbal and kick, bass shifting down each cycle, vocal returns breathy and intimate]

You ask me what I'm thinking and I lie so easily,

say your name back softer than I mean it to be.

I practice being present in the mirror at night,

almost believe it—that's the part I can't fight.

[Guitar Wash - altered ending, bends into dissonance then resolves, panning across]

[Pre-Chorus - bass alone first, harmonies enter before instruments, tension building]

I want to be the one you're seeing,

not the outline of somebody gone.

But my eyes still hold an old exposure,

and it won't fade, no matter how long.

[Guitar Harmonic Rings → Full Band Crashes In → Reverb Bloom Fills the Space]

[Chorus - louder, all layers active, vocal runs added at line ends, harmonies stacking wider]

I'm an afterimage,

burning behind your eyes.

I'm close but I'm distant,

I'm real but disguised.

I'm an afterimage,

a light that won't let go.

You'll never see me clearly—

just the shape of what you used to know.

[Bridge - half-time, one clean tremolo guitar line repeating, orbiting slowly, bass disappears, vocal exposed and fragile]

He never looked at me the way you do,

never stayed long enough to see it through.

But I kept the shape of him in every room,

and gave you all the empty afterglow.

I know that isn't fair,

I know you feel it there—

the flicker when I'm somewhere else,

pretending I'm not scared.

[Empty Beats - 2 → bass pulse returns alone → single guitar note rings from above]

[Final Chorus - full band at peak intensity, distant pitch-shifted guitar entering from behind, drums at full power half-time, vocal layers multiply with whispered doubles and ad-libs scattered across the field]

I'm an afterimage,

burning behind your eyes.

I'm close but I'm distant,

I'm real but disguised.

I'm an afterimage,

a light that won't let go.

You'll never see me clearly—

just the shape of what you used to know.

[Final Repeat - stripped to vocal and bass only, decelerating]

I'm an afterimage,

I'm real but disguised.

[Outro - 4 bars, bass pulse alone, guitar wash fades in from all directions, granular vocal fragments of "afterimage" scattering across the field, everything collapsing to center, single piano note, shimmer tail, silence]

[Fade out]
