The Long Drop

[Verse 1]
Feel the taps on the ground
Her steps cut sharp, a brutal sound
Edges grind, nothing to hold
A weight drags me through cold
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Pulse spikes, heart in chains
World tilts, nothing remains
Seconds stretch, they snap, they tear
No stage, no grip — I disappear
[Chorus 1]
I’m falling, the floor lets go
Muscles stiffen, I can’t slow
The long drop puts me under
No time to scream, a hidden thunder
[Verse 2]
Her voice haunts the corners of my mind
Frames of us I can’t rewind
Fingers trace the scars I hide
Memories claw, won’t subside
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Pulse spikes, heart in chains
World tilts, nothing remains
Seconds stretch, they snap, they tear
No ground, no grip — I disappear
[Chorus 2]
I’m falling, the floor lets go
Muscles stiffen, I can’t slow
The long drop puts me under
No time to scream, a hidden thunder
[Verse 3]
I push, I shove, I fight it back
Dark thoughts attack, the reign cracks
Grip the air, it slips away
I wrestle darkness into day
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Pulse spikes, heart in chains
World tilts, nothing remains
Seconds stretch, they snap, they tear
No ground, no grip — I disappear
[Chorus 3]
I’m falling, the floor lets go
Muscles stiffen, I can’t slow
The long drop puts me under
No time to scream, a hidden thunder
[Bridge]
Breath slows, the limits blur
A quiet war begins to stir
Every heartbeat drags me near
The long drop lingers here
[Solo – Guitar Cue] (Instrument climbs tension, bending and sliding like falling into shadow, then trailing into silence)
[Final Chorus]
I’m falling, the floor lets go
Muscles stiffen, I can’t slow
The long drop puts me under
No time to scream, a hidden thunder
[Bridge]
Breth slows, the limits blur
A quiet war begins to stir
Every heartbeat drags me near
The long drop lingers here
[Solo – Guitar Cue] (Instrument climbs tension, bending and sliding like falling into shadow, then trailing into silence)
[Final Chorus]
I’m falling, the floor lets go
Muscles stiffen, I can’t slow
The long drop puts me under
No time to scream, a hidden thunder
