[Intro – (ambient guitar + lo-fi beat starts) (softly) Yeah… I been tryna scream but I’m drowning in silence Yeah… 404Leon ⸻ [Chorus – melodic emo rap with slight autotune] I’m drowning in silence, nobody hears Stuck in my head, been alone for some years Demons inside, they been feeding my fears I cover my pain with a smile and some tears I scream but no echo, I bleed and it’s quiet My mind is a riot, my heart is on diet Love’s just a word, but the hurt is a science I’m drowning in silence, yeah I’m drowning in silence… ⸻ [Verse 1 – rap flow picks up, moody guitar in background] Used to have light but I lost it in shadows They say move on but I’m stuck in the gallows Time don’t heal when the cuts go deep So I stay up late, I don’t ever sleep Messages ghosted, feel like a ghost I don’t get close, just overdose On memories, enemies, all in my head Wishin’ the mirror would lie instead [Pre-Chorus – whispered, building tension] Pain in my veins like a melody Can’t find peace in the remedy I’m so gone, can’t remember me Who am I? Just a memory… ⸻ [Chorus – same as above, more intense delivery] I’m drowning in silence, nobody hears Stuck in my head, been alone for some years Demons inside, they been feeding my fears I cover my pain with a smile and some tears I scream but no echo, I bleed and it’s quiet My mind is a riot, my heart is on diet Love’s just a word, but the hurt is a science I’m drowning in silence, yeah I’m drowning in silence… ⸻ [Bridge – distorted guitar solo with vocoder vocals] Can’t fix what you can’t see I break ‘cause you ain’t me Tried love, it just caged me Now I’m lost, so sedate me… ⸻ [Verse 2 – more aggressive emotional delivery, trap drums kick in harder] Tryna make peace with the voice in my head But he told me I’m better off dead Fake smiles, fake friends, I’ve been misled Now I keep my heart cold like a medshed Don’t text me “you good?” if you ain’t real Don’t tell me you care if you won’t feel Every night’s war and I’m losing the deal Life’s just a movie I’m tryna not feel ⸻ [Final Chorus – layered vocals, echo effects] I’m drowning in silence, nobody hears Stuck in my head, been alone for some years Demons inside, they been feeding my fears I cover my pain with a smile and some tears I scream but no echo, I bleed and it’s quiet My mind is a riot, my heart is on diet Love’s just a word, but the hurt is a science I’m drowning in silence… yeah I’m drowning in silence… ⸻ [Outro – instrumental fade with reverse guitar and ambient reverb] (soft whisper) 404Leon… gone in the static… ⸻
