Broken down

### **"BROKEN DOWN"**

*(Hard Rock / Metal)*

**[Verse 1]**

I was born in the wreckage, raised in the rain,

Every smile I faked just covered the pain.

Empty house, hollow heart, screaming in the dark,

Promised myself I’d never leave a mark…

**[Pre-Chorus]**

But the pills by the bed, the noose in the shed—

I almost let the devil inside my head…

**[Chorus]**

**Now I’m broken down!**

Like a ghost in this town,

Pushed her love to the ground,

Now I’m buried in the sound…

Of the silence she left behind,

Another life I left to die—

**I’m broken down!**

**[Verse 2]**

She begged me to stay, but I pushed her away,

Now the echoes of her voice won’t fade.

"Normal" was a dream I never got to keep,

Just a shadow crawling on its knees…

**[Bridge]** *(Screamed)*

**I JUST WANTED TO FEEL SOMETHING REAL!**

But the wounds never heal, just scars under the steel!

One more drink, one more night, one more goddamn fight—

**WAS I EVER WORTH THE LIFE I TOOK FROM MYSELF TONIGHT?!**

**[Guitar Solo]** *(Chaotic, emotional, descending into madness)*

**[Final Chorus]** *(Screamed & Sung)*

**Now I’m broken down!**

No love left to drown,

Just the ghosts all around,

And the man I never found…

In the mirror’s hollow eyes—

Another soul I left behind…

**I’M BROKEN DOWN!**

*(Outro: Fading heavy riff, feedback, then silence.)*
