[Verse 1] [Normal] I keep my hands flat on the table Count my breaths Look straight ahead Nothing here is truly stable I host a war inside my head [Deep] Come on Kid You crave the fire You want the power Feel it rise Let me cut through all your quiet Let me sharpen all your lies [Shaky] Please don't Please don't say that If they see What you can be… [Chorus] [Normal] I want peace in this beating cage White flag waving on a burning stage Tear these chains from the past I drag Turn this heart from a blackened flag [Deep] But the world loves teeth and pain They only listen when you reign Let me out I’ll end this ache One small push And all will break [Shaky] If he’s free We’re gone for good I’ll drown us here Right where we stood [Verse 2] [Normal] I walk the line Pretend it’s simple Hold my smile like armor thin Every shadow cuts my window Every mirror shows his grin [Deep] You think you’re noble Think you’re kinder You’re just scared to take the throne Every saint hides something violent Let me make it flesh and bone [Shaky] I heard What you did last time I still taste All that red in my mind [Bridge] [Normal] What if I can change the ending Break the script you wrote for me Lay your hunger on the altar Let our monsters finally leave [Deep] You can’t kill me I’m your making I am every breath you waste I’m the answer when you’re shaking I am purpose I am taste [Shaky] I don’t trust you I don’t trust me But I still want To let us breathe [Chorus] [Normal] I want peace in this beating cage White flag waving on a burning stage If I choose you I lose myself If I choose him I lose all else [Deep] So choose me Let mercy fade Crown of ash for all you’ve paid Open doors you barred with light Wear my name and own the night [Shaky] Hold my hand Don’t let it start Lock him out But hold him In your heart

Cinematic hybrid of tense strings, pulsing low synths, and sparse piano. Male vocals in three distinct tones: steady lead, subterranean doubles for the dark voice, and close-mic fragile layers for the scared voice. Verses stay intimate and tight; choruses swell with choir-style harmonies and big drums. Occasional reverse FX swells and filtered drops to spotlight each persona as they clash., deep
