My Existence Is Futile

[Intro – Clean Electric Guitar & Soft Piano]

[Verse 1 – Clean Electric Guitar + Piano + Light Drums (Brush Snare)]

I wake up to the sound of silence,
Another day, another trial to survive.
My hands are tired, my soul is heavy,
Yet I still smile, to keep the dream alive.

They see a man who never breaks,
But they don’t see the cracks beneath my skin.
I built their world with love and pain,
While I’m fading from within.

[Pre-Chorus – Piano + Strings Rise]

All I wanted was a little grace,
Someone to say they see me too.

[Chorus – Full Band Enters (Distorted Guitars + Full Drums + Strings)]

My existence is futile, but I still stand tall,
Carrying the weight, through the rise and the fall.
I bleed in silence, I break in disguise,
A shadowed heart beneath the lies.

[Verse 2 – Clean Electric Guitar + Bass + Light Drums]

They say a man should never cry,
Should hide his pain behind a grin.
But when you give and lose yourself,
Who’s there to pull you in?

The mirror shows a hollow face,
A man forgotten by his own reflection.

[Bridge – Strings & Piano Lead, Guitar Solo Enters Midway]

I scream in silence, no one hears my name,
I gave them light, but I’m burning in flame.

[Final Chorus – Full Orchestration + Emotional Vocals]

My existence is futile, but my love remains,
Even through storms, through loss and pain.
You’ll never know the price I paid,
To build your world, from the life I gave.

[Outro – Piano & Clean Guitar Only]

[Softly sung, fading out]

My existence… is futile…
But still, I stay.
