[Intro – distorted whisper → impact] Dead—but breathing. Dead—but dreaming. TURN IT UP. ⸻ [Verse 1 – aggressive, half-scream] Wake up with a war in my skull, Static in my veins, yeah I’m losing control, Every promise carved into stone, Every name that vanished when the pressure got cold. I gave blood to the mouth that fed, Got dragged through the dirt just to feel respect, Now I see real clear who disappears When the truth hits hard and the mask gets ripped. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – screamed] I’M DONE PRETENDING I’M OKAY I’M DONE BEGGING FOR A BREAK If this is life, then FUCK THE LIE— I’LL SURVIVE OUT OF PURE HATE. ⸻ [Chorus – full scream / chantable] I’M STILL BREATHING IN THE STATIC CAN’T KILL WHAT YOU COULDN’T BREAK CALL ME DAMAGED—CALL ME ROTTED I’LL WEAR THE PAIN LIKE FUCKING FATE I’M STILL BREATHING IN THE STATIC CHEST ON FIRE, TEETH ALL GRIT I MAY BE DEAD—BUT DREAMING VIOLENCE— AND I’M NOT DONE WITH THIS. ⸻ [Verse 2 – faster, angrier] I tried playing nice, I tried staying small, Tried biting my tongue while the walls closed in, But silence is a coffin with the lid screwed tight, And I won’t lay down just to fit inside. I’ve slept with demons, shook their hands, Used rage as a crutch just to stand, Now every scar’s a loaded round And I aim straight through the fucking doubt. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – callout scream] YOU WANT ME QUIET YOU WANT ME WEAK YOU WANT ME DEAD AT YOUR FUCKING FEET BUT I BREATHE LOUD AND I HIT BACK SO DIG MY GRAVE—I’LL CLAW IT BLACK ⸻ [Chorus – heavier, layered] I’M STILL BREATHING IN THE STATIC CAN’T KILL WHAT YOU COULDN’T BREAK CALL ME DAMAGED—CALL ME ROTTED I’LL WEAR THE PAIN LIKE FUCKING FATE I’M STILL BREATHING IN THE STATIC CHEST ON FIRE, TEETH ALL GRIT I MAY BE DEAD—BUT DREAMING VIOLENCE— AND I’M NOT DONE WITH THIS. ⸻ [BREAKDOWN – slow, crushing] DEAD—BUT—BREATHING (SAY IT) DEAD—BUT—BREATHING YOU PUSHED I PUSHED BACK YOU LIED I BLED FACTS BURIED ME ONCE— I CAME BACK CLAWING BURIED ME TWICE— NOW I’M FUCKING HAUNTING BLEGH. ⸻ [Bridge – eerie clean → scream] I don’t want peace if it costs my spine, I don’t want love that survives on lies, If I burn, let it light the way— I’LL BE THE FIRE YOU FAILED TO CONTAIN. ⸻ [Final Chorus – last stand] I’M STILL BREATHING IN THE STATIC EVERY SCAR A BATTLE WON IF THE WORLD WANTS ME SILENT I’LL SCREAM UNTIL MY FUCKING LUNGS ARE GONE I’M STILL BREATHING IN THE STATIC WATCH ME RISE FROM WHAT YOU DID I MAY BE DEAD—BUT DREAMING VIOLENCE— AND I’M NOT DONE NOT DONE WITH THIS. ⸻ [Outro – distortion trail] Dead… But breathing. Dead… But dreaming.
