[Verse 1 – Building intensity, mid-tempo beat drops in, gritty delivery]
Imagining I lash out, sends me straight down to the drip
Painful execution comin' for a mad end, grip tight on the rip
Lately consumed in these dreams struck out in violence
Against the dead ass wrong, heart racin', no silence
I'm anything but excited for this spiral dive
Punchin' bag life, never knew I was the one throwin' the jive
Sad part? I never even seen it comin', blind to the fight
Messed up contraction, feel the weight crushin' me tonight
Smugness in the lioness, she watchin' if I fall
But I rise, yeah, I rise, screamin' through it all.
[Pre-Chorus – Drums build, guitar swells, tension peaks]
Out in the dark, comin' to eat you alive
Rip you to shreds, watch the horror come alive inside
Eyes that stop you cold, frozen in the fire
But I ain't stayin' broke, nah, I'm climbin' higher.
[Chorus – Big uplifting rock-rap hook, anthemic, layered vocals, beat drops heavy but hopeful]
I'm fallin' in love with myself again
Deepest home, pullin' me out the den
From the spiral, from the pain, from the dark within
I rise up, yeah I rise, let the light back in
No more punchin' bag, no more hidin' the scars
I'm the lion now, roarin' under the stars
Pain had a purpose, turned it to fuel, watch me burn
Comin' home to me, yeah, the lesson's learned.
[Verse 2 – Faster flow, more aggressive rock edge, building drama]
Never knew the punches I was throwin' were at my own reflection
Mirror cracked, soul fractured, seekin' some direction
Weight of it all crushin' ribs, hard to breathe
But in the deepest, I found the key, start to believe
Out the dark comin', yeah, but not to destroy no more
To eat the fear alive, leave the horror on the floor
Rip the doubts to shreds, watch 'em bleed out slow
Eyes wide open now, no more freezin' in the cold
Smug lioness smilin', but she can't touch this glow
I'm rebuildin' from the ashes, lettin' the real me show.
[Bridge – Slow breakdown, heavy distorted guitars, emotional rap-sing]
Imagine bein' the bag, then becomin' the fist
Twisted contradiction, but I get the gist
Every lash out was a cry for help inside
Now I'm healin', no more runnin', no more hide
Pain execution? Nah, that's the old end
New chapter startin', watch me ascend.
[Final Chorus – Explosive build, full band, uplifting triumph, repeat with ad-libs]
I'm fallin' in love with myself again (yeah!)
Deepest home, callin' me back in (home!)
From the spiral, from the pain, from the dark within (rise!)
I rise up, yeah I rise, let the light back in (light it up!)
No more punchin' bag, no more hidin' the scars (nah!)
I'm the lion now, roarin' under the stars (roar!)
Pain had a purpose, turned it to fire, watch me burn bright
Comin' home to me... yeah, this feels right.
[Outro – Fade with echoing guitar, uplifting resolve]
Yeah... from the drip to the peak
Spiral broke, now I'm free
Love myself again... deepest home...
We out.
