Prompt / Lyrics
[Voice 1: John (Male, rapper)] [Voice 2: Mark (Male, singer)] [Intro][Mark] (Whispered, growing tension) *Can you hear me?* *Can you hear me?* *Can you hear me?* (Screamed) CAN YOU HEAR ME?! [Verse 1][Mark] (Sung, introspective, raw) I’ve been trapped inside my head, can't seem to break free Everything I say feels like it’s drowning in the sea I’m screaming out loud, but the words don’t reach the air It’s like I’m fading, no one sees, no one seems to care How did I get here? Was I always meant to fall? I’ve been hiding from myself, trying to build these walls But every time I try, they break down, piece by piece And now I’m left with nothing but this hollow feeling of defeat [Verse 2][John] (Rap, Aggressive, Urgent) I’ve been walking on this line, stuck between fate and fear I’ve been holding all this hate, but nobody’s near I’m getting tired of pretending I’m fine, but I’m falling apart You’ll never understand this war inside my heart I gave everything, but it’s never enough You tell me to stay strong, but it just gets rough You push me down, then you drag me through the dirt I’ve had enough of this pain, it’s time to hurt I won’t beg for your attention, no more waiting for you to see I’m done being silent, I’ll break free You don’t hear me, I’ll make you hear me [Pre-Chorus][Mark] (Lightly rapped, slightly Sung) I can feel it rising, deep down inside Like a storm that’s coming, there’s nowhere to hide I’ve been holding back, but I can’t keep this in If you don’t hear me now, I’ll scream again [Chorus][John] Can you hear me now? [Mark] (Or don’t you even care?) [John] I’m screaming out loud [Mark] (But you’re never there) [John] I’m breaking down, I’m not holding out Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? [John] (Screamed repetition building from whisper to guttural scream) You never hear me! You never hear me! YOU NEVER HEAR ME!! [Bridge][John] (Slow, haunting melody to start, vocals strained and almost whispered before building) I’ve been shouting in the dark, hoping someone would hear But the silence is so loud, it’s deafening my fear I’ve held all this pain, but it’s choking me inside If you don’t hear me now, I’m running out of time [Verse 3][John] (The tension builds with layered vocals, increasing in volume) I’m breaking out of the cage, I’m done playing nice I’ve been the one to hold it all, but no more sacrifice I’m standing at the edge, and I’m not looking back If you won’t see me now, I’ll make my own path [Chorus][John] Can you hear me now? [Mark] (Or don’t you even care?) [John] I’m screaming out loud [Mark] (But you’re never there) [John] I’m breaking down, I’m not holding out Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? [Outro][John] I’m standing tall, I’m standing strong I’ll carry the weight of all I’ve done wrong But the silence still cuts, still echoes in my mind Can you hear me now? (Can you hear me now?)… (Fade out with soft instrumental, final echo of the last line) Can you hear me now?
