Edge of Silence

[Intro – Distant, echoing]
“For the love of God… why?”

[Verse 1 – Rap/Whisper → Rising]
I’m breaking in silence, choking in static,
Every word’s a scream, but it feels automatic.
Machine in my chest, gears grind till I bleed,
I begged for a reason, but it don’t hear me.

[Hook – Melodic, Over the Top]
For the love of God, why won’t it end?!
I’m screaming at the heavens, but they won’t defend.
Drowning in the echo, I can’t pretend…
For the love of God, why again?!

[Verse 2 – Aggressive, Screamed/Rapped]
Chains in my veins, wires in my skin,
The emptiness feeds — it always wins.
Faith is a shadow, hope is a lie,
If God’s still listening, then answer me why?!

[Bridge – Moody Build]
(All I wanted was a reason to stay...)
But the silence is louder than anything I pray.
(All I wanted was a way to survive...)
But the echo just asks me — why are you alive?

[Final Hook – Explosive]
For the love of God, why won’t it end?!
I’m screaming at the heavens, but they won’t defend.
Tear me down to ashes, I’ll break, I’ll bend…
For the love of God — THIS IS THE END!

[Outro – Whispered, fading like static]
“…for the love of God… why?”
