Verse 1 (low, intimate, almost spoken)
I don’t sleep, I just shut my eyes
Let the dark crawl under my skin
Every thought feels sharp tonight
Like I’m trapped in a war I’m in
I built my house out of silence
Learned to breathe where the light won’t stay
If this is hell, I’m compliant
I’ve been here long enough to stay
Pre-Chorus (rising tension, pulse begins)
I disappear when it gets too loud
I break myself just to feel grounded
If I fall apart, don’t make a sound
I’ve mastered how to go uncounted
Chorus (HEAVY DROP – DISTORTED BASS)
I was lost in the dark, teeth clenched tight
Heavy bass in my chest all night
I sink so deep, I forget my name
I let the shadows take the blame
(drop hit)
I’m still breathing through the weight
Still choking on everything I hate
I was buried alive in the scars I made
But I clawed my way out—bloody hands, no grace
Verse 2 (cold, controlled anger)
I romanticized the pain
Called it strength, called it truth
If suffering makes me real
Then what am I without the bruises?
I don’t cry, I just shut down
Let the echo do the talking
If I vanish in this sound
At least the noise is honest
Pre-Chorus (filtered, almost breaking)
I don’t need saving, don’t need faith
Just one reason not to decay
If I survive another night
I’ll call that a victory
Chorus (BIGGER DROP – SIDECHAIN, SUB BASS)
I was lost in the dark, pressure builds
Every beat feels ready to kill
I let it swallow me whole inside
Still I refuse to let it decide
(drop)
Still breathing through the pain
Still standing in the rain
I was buried alive in the scars I made
But I clawed my way out—bloody hands, no grace
Bridge (ambient collapse, half-time)
If I’m a monster
I made myself
If I’m still here
I earned it myself
I don’t need hope dressed in gold
Just proof I’m not alone
If I can feel this heavy ache
Then I’m not a ghost
Final Chorus (LAST DROP – DARKEST)
I was lost in the dark, heart beating slow
Sub bass dragging me below
I almost vanished in the sound
But my pulse pulled me back around
(final drop)
Still breathing through the night
Still fighting my own mind
I was buried alive in the scars I made
But I clawed my way out—
I clawed my way out
Outro (distorted whisper, fading bass)
Still here…
Still breathing…
Still here…
Still alive.
