Groove-heavy, down-tuned nu-metal guitars kick in with an aggressive, syncopated rhythm. The drums are massive, crisp, and punchy, driven by a relentless Travis Barker-style double-time attack.) (Verse 1) Staring at the ceiling, suffocating in the quiet Inside this empty room, my mind is running a riot I look at your picture, the girl who broke the mold Emily Rebecca Kent, a story left untold You were the coolest person to ever kick it with Losing you entirely feels like a cruel myth My little sister, the baddest of them all A little badass standing proud and standing tall You had the laughter that could shatter any dark Left a permanent, beautiful, unbreakable mark And now the silence is screaming out your name Leaving your older brother Travis drowning in the blame (Chorus) Emily Kent, you were the truest and the best Now this agony is crushing down upon my chest I beat myself up, breaking down to the bone Left stranded in the horror of being completely alone I failed to keep you safe, failed to shield the blow And this guilt is a shadow that will never let me go They say find peace, but the torment is driven I will never accept it, I am forever unforgiven (Verse 2) (The bass drops low, a heavy, grinding groove chugging forward as the punchy snare cracks like gunfire) You were my shadow, my ride or die from the start No one on this earth ever had a bigger heart A total badass, fearless and completely free The greatest little sister that the world will ever see I’m trapped in the memories of the way we used to be Now the pain is a cage, and there is no key I can't handle the loss, I can't breathe in the air Looking for your smile, but you’re not sitting there Every second without you is a knife in the vein I'm bending under the weight of this absolute pain I beat myself down, every night is a fight Trying to find a way to make the darkness right (Chorus) Emily Kent, you were the truest and the best Now this agony is crushing down upon my chest I beat myself up, breaking down to the bone Left stranded in the horror of being completely alone I failed to keep you safe, failed to shield the blow And this guilt is a shadow that will never let me go They say find peace, but the torment is driven I will never accept it, I am forever unforgiven (Bridge) (The tempo slows into a massive, heavy breakdown. The drums hit with crushing precision, every cymbal crash echoing with raw emotion) I am so sorry, Emily. I am so incredibly sorry. I was supposed to protect you. I was supposed to keep you safe from the storm. I hope somewhere, somehow, you can forgive me. But I will never forgive myself. I will carry this weight until my last breath. I can’t do this without you. I can’t face this world without my little sister. It’s tearing me apart. It’s literally killing me. (Guitar Solo - Screaming, emotional, high-register melody that bleeds raw sorrow, backed by a frantic, heavy drum groove) (Chorus) Emily Kent, you were the truest and the best Now this agony is crushing down upon my chest I beat myself up, breaking down to the bone Left stranded in the horror of being completely alone I failed to keep you safe, failed to shield the blow And this guilt is a shadow that will never let me go They say find peace, but the torment is driven I will never accept it, I am forever unforgiven (Outro) (The heavy instruments abruptly cut out, leaving only a low, distorted guitar hum and a slow, echoing heartbeat drum beat) I miss you, Emily. The coolest. The best. My badass little sister. Emily Rebecca Kent. I can't do this without you... (The final drum hit cracks hard, fading out into stark, heavy silence)
