Lyrics

[Intro – Guitar Feedback + Snare Hit Into Riff]

[—> Gritty feedback fades in, tense and low]

[—> Tight snare crack cuts through]

[—> Drop right into a fast, sharp riff in Drop A#, drums double-time]

[→ Vocal cue screamed]

“If I’m not enough—then I’ll be nothing at all!”

⸻

[Verse 1 – Screamed / Tight Flow]

I wore my smile like a chain

Tried to fix it all but stayed the same

Built a house out of my pain

And dared the storm to know my name

You want the truth? You want the mess?

I gave it all and nothing’s left

I’m not your savior, not your friend

I’m just the end I won’t defend

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – Half-Clean Build]

You said I’d heal

You said I’d grow

But some things crack

And never show

⸻

[Chorus – Big Clean Hook + Melodic Lead]

Maybe I’m better off broken

At least these cracks are open

You never saw what I held back

You just watched it all collapse

So if I leave, don’t say my name

Don’t play this off like I’m okay

I’m not fine

I’m just frozen

Maybe I’m better off broken

⸻

[Verse 2 – Screamed, More Aggressive]

Pulled the pin and held the grin

Said I’m okay while caving in

Every breath a borrowed lie

Every hope I let just die

I screamed into your silence loud

You never turned. You faced the crowd.

I gave my soul for one last call

But you just watched me start to fall

⸻

[Breakdown – Brutal, Pacing Slow and Violent]

I’D RATHER BREAK THAN FAKE A SMILE!

I’D RATHER BLEED THAN WALK THIS MILE!

EVERY WORD YOU FED ME HURT!

NOW WATCH ME FALL FACE-FIRST INTO DIRT!

[→ Guitar bends and chugs, massive drop]

[→ Vocals overlap] “Let me break—let me break—let me—BREAK!”

⸻

[Bridge – Clean Melody, Spoken Overlap]

[Clean melody]

You said I’d find my peace in time…

But time just made me lie…

[Spoken]

I tried. I swear I did. But this feels more like me than I ever was.

⸻

[Final Breakdown – Slower, Angrier, Real]

I TRIED TO CHANGE—YOU CHANGED THE RULES!

YOU HELD THE GUN—AND CALLED ME FOOL!

I’M NOT YOUR PIECE—NOT PART OF YOU!

I’M THE ASH OF WHAT YOU PUT ME THROUGH!

[→ Full-band slam. Then drop to silence. Then…]

⸻

[Final Chorus – Heaviest, Most Honest]

Maybe I’m better off broken

At least these scars are open

I never asked to be your light

You just watched me lose the fight

So if I go, don’t say I’m strong

Don’t tell the world you had me wrong

I’m not fine

I’m outspoken

Maybe I’m better off broken

⸻

[Outro – Feedback + Distant Whispers]

[→ Fading guitar feedback]

[→ Echoed scream buried in reverb]

“I was never whole to begin with.”
