Dead But Breathing

Intro – Spoken Whisper/Glitched FX]
They buried me alive…
But I’m still breathing…

⸻

[Verse 1 – Rap Style, Aggressive Flow]
Woke up in a nightmare dressed like a daydream
Life’s a loaded weapon, cocked back with a fake grin
They said I’d never make it — that I’d break quick
But now I’m standing on the wreckage like I’m weightless

Every scar is a line in my story
Pain’s just fuel when the past comes for me
I don’t need your lies, your pills, your peace
I’m chaos in a cage and I just found the key

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – Clean Vocal, Emotional]
I tried to run, but the mirror won’t lie
I see the monster staring back in my eyes
No more chains, no more graves
I’m rising up from the flames

⸻

[Chorus – Anthemic & Heavy]
I’m dead but breathing, broken but healing
You tried to drown me, now I’m the deep end
You built a world just to watch me fall
But I’m still standing through it all
I’m dead but breathing (yeah)
And I’m done retreating

⸻

[Verse 2 – Rap/Metal Blend]
I’ve been the villain, I’ve played the saint
Wore a mask just to hide my pain
Tried to fake it, medicated
Suffocated, isolated

Now I’m weaponized with my regret
Every wound’s a war I won’t forget
So watch me burn through all your doubt
I’m the storm you can’t put out

⸻

[Breakdown – Screamed]
(You can’t kill what won’t die!)
I’m the voice in the void
I’m the scream in the static
I’m the fire in your heaven
Turned manic and tragic!

⸻

[Bridge – Clean with Echo FX]
Torn apart, but still I mend
This is not how my story ends

⸻

[Final Chorus – Full Power]
I’m dead but breathing, broken but healing
You tried to drown me, now I’m the deep end
You built a world just to watch me fall
But I’m still standing through it all
I’m dead but breathing (oh!)
And I’m undefeated

⸻

[Outro – Spoken, Fading]
Still here. Still fighting.
Still breathing…

rap/metalcore hybrid with heavy guitars, glitchy trap beats, and emotional clean vocals.
