Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro –Instruments fading in-] [-Clean guitar picking a haunting riff, bass rumble grows, drums start with slow cymbal swells, building until the verse kicks in-] ⸻ [Verse 1] I’ve been running from the truth for too damn long Tried to bury my pain but it still comes on strong Every smile I fake feels like another chain Wrapping tighter around the edges of my brain [Verse 1 – Continued] The weight on my chest, yeah, it cuts like a knife And I’m bleeding in silence just to feel alive ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Don’t tell me “it’s fine” when you don’t understand I’m holding my ground with blood on my hands ⸻ [Chorus] I drown the fire but it still keeps burning I cut the cord but my heart keeps yearning Tried to escape but the walls close in This pain’s not a wound—it’s carved in my skin So fuck all the voices saying “you’ll be okay” I’m breaking apart, but I’m here anyway ⸻ [Verse 2] I’ve screamed at the night, but it just stares back Every step that I take leaves another crack You think I’m weak ‘cause my hands still shake But it takes more strength just to bend and not break [Verse 2 – Continued] And I’d rather feel pain than nothing at all ‘Cause numbness is colder than the hardest fall ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2] I’m not your lost cause, I’m not your regret I’m the ghost in the mirror you can’t forget ⸻ [Chorus –Repeat, Heavier-] I drown the fire but it still keeps burning I cut the cord but my heart keeps yearning Tried to escape but the walls close in This pain’s not a wound—it’s carved in my skin So fuck all the voices saying “you’ll be okay” I’m breaking apart, but I’m here anyway ⸻ [Bridge –Heavy Build-Up-] The smoke in my lungs, the ache in my chest Every scar I’ve earned is a battle I’ve blessed I’ll never be clean, I’ll never be pure But I’ll fight through the pain—I’m my own fucking cure ⸻ [Breakdown –Screamed/Sung-] Let it burn Let it tear Let it bleed I don’t care Let it cut Let it stain I’ll still stand in the rain ⸻ [Final Chorus —Layered Vocals, Bigger Sound-] I drown the fire but it still keeps burning I cut the cord but my heart keeps yearning Tried to escape but the walls close in This pain’s not a wound—it’s carved in my skin So fuck all the voices saying “you’ll be okay” I’m breaking apart, but I’m here anyway ⸻ [Outro –Fading Instruments-] [-Guitar riff from intro returns, slowly fading to silence-] Still here anyway… Still here… anyway.
