Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1 – soft, eerie, detached] Woke up staring through the ceiling Can’t tell if I’m breathing or just stealing Another day I don’t remember choosing A body moving with a mind that’s losing Mirror shows a stranger in my skin Same fake smile I’ve been painting in Voices talk but I don’t hear them right Life’s a movie where I forgot my lines [Chorus – heavy, distorted vocals layered with screams] I’m dead behind the eyes Nothing left, but I still survive Can’t feel the fire or the frost Just counting days I already lost Dead behind the eyes Screaming in a world that’s gone blind You think I’m fine— But I’m dying inside [Verse 2 – building aggression] Hands shake when I hold the truth But I wear my silence like a noose You scroll past like I’m not here But every crack’s a scream you’ll never hear Tried pills, prayers, poison too Still can’t feel like I used to do Heart beats but it don’t belong Just background noise in a dying song [Bridge – spoken word, echoing] I walk through crowds like smoke through air Invisible weight, too numb to care They laugh, they live, they scream and fight I blink and fade back into night [Breakdown – raw screams and dissonant guitars] Dead! Dead! Dead behind the eyes! Watch me rot in a glass disguise! Smile for the frame, choke on the pain— Numb never felt so insane! [Final Chorus – all-out emotional explosion] I’m dead behind the eyes But I swear I’m still alive One breath from breaking wide Still lost in this hell I hide Dead behind the eyes But I’m clawing through the lies If you see me drown— Just know I tried. [Outro – slow fading distortion, whisper] (If you see me drown… just know I tried…)
