A recorded reading of “Eyes Like Exit Wounds”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
You looked at me like a door. Like you’d been locked inside this love too long and just found the key. No screaming. No slammed fists. Just eyes. Quiet. Cold. Open. And I swear— they didn’t blink. Just cut through me like a clean break. I didn’t ask where you were going. I knew. Not a place. But away. From us. From the weight of staying. From the mirror I became that started showing you everything you didn’t want to see. Your silence was surgical. Precise. Not cruel. But final. And somehow that hurt worse. I would’ve taken a fight. A name screamed. A door broken. But you just looked. And it said: “I don’t love you enough to lie anymore.” Now every time I meet someone’s eyes, I flinch. Because I know what it looks like when someone leaves without walking. You left no mess. Just memory. And the echo of a glance that still splits me open when I close my own.
Instructional lyrics
[Intro – glitchy piano loop, soft lo-fi static, vinyl hum] [Verse 1 – restrained vocals with glitch textures] You looked at me like a cracked escape No hate, just the shape of fate You didn’t speak, you didn’t cry Just let the silence say goodbye [Pre-Chorus – whisper FX layered with melody] No scream, no slam, no flames or storms Just the end in human form [Chorus – beat comes in slow, emotional swell] Eyes like exit wounds, you stared through me A soft goodbye in disguise, quietly You left the room without a step But I still feel the tear you kept [Verse 2 – minimal rhythm, echo reverb added] I begged for more, but not aloud You vanished gently in the crowd You smiled like it would hurt less But goodbye doesn’t wear a dress [Bridge – whisper repetitions over ambient fade] (Still here... still gone... still gone...) [Final Chorus – sonic lift, layered harmonies swell] Eyes like exit wounds, wide and red You never left, but love was dead You walked away without a sound But I still bleed where we were found [Outro – fading vinyl crackle]
Song info
A lo-fi emotional indie pop track with glitch textures and whispery vocal effects. Think dreamy but devastating. The kind of song that feels like it’s dissolving as you listen. Echo-heavy, sparse, and built for replaying in the aftermath of a quiet heartbreak.
