(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break_(music))
Break
In popular music, a break is an instrumental or percussion section during a song derived from or related to stop-time – being a "break" from the main parts of the song or piece.

A solo break in jazz occurs when the rhythm section stops playing behind a soloist for a brief period, usually two or four bars leading into the soloist's first chorus. A notable recorded example is Charlie Parker's solo break at the beginning of his solo on "A Night in Tunisia".

In DJ parlance, a break is where all elements of a song (e.g., pads, basslines, vocals), except for percussion, disappear for a time. This is distinguished from a breakdown, a section where the composition is deliberately deconstructed to minimal elements (usually the percussion or rhythm section with the vocal re-introduced over the minimal backing), all other parts having been gradually or suddenly cut out.

Not really. . .

. . . dead, just bitter. . . 

Some additional modifications.  Percussion, tightening the snare.  Next, maybe piano with a better mic.  The Bitter End never ends . . .  ALL TOGETHER NOW . . .

You never want to have to hear a word
From me again
Never want to have to see my face
At your door
If there's so much as the mention of
My name
You can feel an uncontrollable
Fit of pain

I'm the one
That you said
You would love
Til the bitter end

This must really be
This must really be the end
Nothing could be fitter
This must really be
This must really be the end
Make no mistake it's bitter

You never want us to be seen again
In public places
Can't explain it to another friend
How it goes
You say there's torment that you feel inside
From many things
I can tell you that I still don't know
What that means

Long ago
We were friends
Far removed
From this bitter end

This must really be
This must really be the end
Nothing could be fitter
This must really be
This must really be the end
Make no mistake it's bitter

There's no candy coating
To make it go down easier
Not so simple to digest
No bright colors and no
Exotic flavors sweetening
What you see is what you get

You never want to have to hear a word
From me again
Never want to have to see my face
At your door
If there's so much as the mention of
My name
You can feel an uncontrollable
Fit of pain

With one fell
Swoop you sent
Me direct to the bitter end

This must really be
This must really be the end
Nothing could be fitter
This must really be
This must really be the end
Make no mistake it's bitter


The Bitter End

Opening . . .

. . . this week's Brewer's Alley Songwriters Showcase Monday at 7:30PM is . . .
me . . . on piano.

There's a certain warmth, familiarity and appreciation in the air at the old mayor's office in Frederick on Monday evenings.  For me it's like playing for family.  The acoustics enhance the heartfelt music from an array of original regional musicians and poets, with understated yet imperative sonic management by Rod who, on most Mondays, adds subtle, complimentary blues harp to the mix in all the appropriate places.  Tomy and/or  Ron are at the ready with a gentle,  sympatico arsenal of percussion, to enhance the performance of any artist enlisting their superlative skills.  In short, be there.

Monday,  March 19 @ 7:30PM
Brewer's Alley Restaurant & Brewery (Songwriters Showcase-Upstairs)
124 North Market Street Frederick, MD 21701
Telephone: 301-631-0089 Fax: 301-631-1874
