Sinking

(rap, Alt-pop war anthem with male vocals: serrated guitars locked to cinematic drums, sub drops hitting like shockwaves under a dark hip‑hop groove. Verses in a low, controlled growl over heartbeat pulses and filtered synths; pre‑chorus tightens with staccato strings. Chorus explodes into a stadium-sized chant, stacked gang vocals, distorted bass swells, and dance-pop percussion that keeps it moving while everything feels like it’s splitting open., hip-hop, rock, pop, dance pop, deep, male vocals)

Verse 1

I felt it before it showed

In the way the silence leaned

Like the air was getting heavier

Without saying what it means

You were steady at the wheel

Like nothing could go wrong

But the floor beneath my breathing

Started slipping all at once

Pre-Chorus

There’s a rhythm in the breaking

Only I can hear—

Chorus

I’m sinking

But I’m smiling like I’m fine

Hands still steady on the line

While the water climbs

I’m sinking

And I won’t let you see

How deep it’s pulling me

Under everything

Verse 2

Every word comes out too calm

Like I practiced how to stay

While the walls begin to tremble

And the light just fades to grey

You look at me like I’m home

Like I’m something that won’t move

But I’m counting every second

Of what I’m about to lose

Pre-Chorus

If I say it out loud

Then it all becomes real—

Chorus

I’m sinking

But I’m holding up the sky

Keeping everything in line

While it falls inside

I’m sinking

And you’re right next to me

Still believing I’m the sea

Not the wreck beneath

Bridge

There’s a crack I couldn’t stop

There’s a line I couldn’t hold

There’s a version of this ending

I was never brave to show

I was taught to stay in place

Even when it starts to break

So I carry every warning

Like it’s mine alone to take

Break (quiet, stripped)

If I reach for you now—

Will you feel me going down?

Final Chorus

I’m sinking

And the calm is just a mask

Something slipping through the cracks

I can’t hold it back

I’m sinking

If you look into my eyes

You might see it this time—

I was drowning the whole night
