Invisible Ink - Carlo Bruno Jr.

Time to spill the beans
Time to come clean
Something blew the whistle
The truth came tumbling out
Today the jig is up

I poured the coffee hot
Your usual order, done
But that morning, you didn't show
And I knew something was wrong

The day before, all was calm
And I felt no alarm
But now I recall your face
Your smile felt out of place

I had breakfast and went out
The streets no longer seemed the same
But they could show me why
You were in such a hurry
To leave the house
Every morning.

Time to spill …

You were standing there with your eyes closed
Looking like you were short of breath
And then I saw how the outside air
Gave you life again

You left a note in the early days:
"I want to always stay home with you,
It makes me feel good and makes me feel safe"
This is the day I know
That me and the house
made you claustrophobic.
You used invisible ink.

Time to spill …

A solid effort but not a whole lot is standing out while listening. The arrangement is good but fairly static/unchanging. I like the guitar on the right side but it seems just a hair unbalanced (that’s not to say it’s bad.) The 8th note groove in the drums seems incessant which helps drive the song but starts to feel a bit repetitive after a while. I like the guitars (tone/playing) a lot.
Lyric: The lyric works well enough for me. The reveal is maybe not the most elegantly done but, again, I think it works.

Sounds like there are some tuning issues with or between the lead and rhythm guitars in the intro. Then with the vocal and the rhythm guitar on the right? Maybe it's just that guitar in general. The vocals sound a bit strained at times. The phrasing for me feels a little off kilter at times too. Nice guitar solo. I think the verses needed to maybe have more of a hook to them, they feel long in between the choruses, and then the chorus hook is for me just ok.
