(Intro)

((Deep cosmic drone))
((Clean reverb guitar))
((Distant choir pad))
((Slow heartbeat kick))

Floating through the silence again
Counting ghosts instead of breaths
Every star above my head
Feels like another friend that’s dead

⸻

(Verse 1)

((Technical tapping riff))
((Off-time drums))

Every memory cuts through bone
Every echo says I’m alone
All the laughter fades to dust
All the people turned to rust

((Harsh vocals))

Why am I the one who stays
Watching all the lights decay

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

(Atmospheric swell)
(Clean vocals layered)

If existence is a fragile flame
Why was mine the one that stayed

⸻

(Chorus)

(Huge melodic chords)
(Wide atmospheric pads)

Why was I spared
When the universe erased their names

Why do I breathe
While their light dissolves in flames

Every heartbeat feels like theft
From the lives that should be left

⸻

(BERRIED ALIVE TECH SECTION I)

((Hyper fast tapping))
((Glitch guitar stutters))
((Rapid double kick))

Instrumental chaos section
((Ascending tapping run))
((Sweep picking bursts))
((Sudden stop-start riffs))

((Whammy dive transitions))

⸻

(Verse 2)

((Heavy djent groove))
((Low bass growl))

I remember every face
Frozen somewhere in time and space
Every promise still remains
Etched inside my burning brain

((Harsh vocals))

Every breath I steal from fate
Feels like living past my date

⸻

(BERRIED ALIVE TECH SECTION II)

((Insane tapping harmonics))
((Pitch shifting guitar effects))
((Math-metal rhythm change))

Instrumental guitar duel
((Left/right stereo tapping))
((Descending glitch riff))

((Massive bend into silence))

⸻

(Breakdown)

((Tempo drop to half-time))
((Ultra low djent chugs))
((Bass drops))

WHY
AM
I
STILL
HERE

WHEN BETTER SOULS
DISAPPEARED

WHY
DO
I
BREATHE

WHEN THEY WERE EVERYTHING TO ME

⸻

(Ambient Reflection)

((Drums fade away))
((Clean guitar harmonics))
((Soft choir ambience))

(Soft vocal:)

Maybe I remain for them
Carrying what could have been

Maybe every breath I take
Is a promise I can’t break

⸻

(FINAL BUILD – COSMIC ASCENT)

((Orchestral strings rise))
((Layered guitars building))
((Blast beats begin))

The stars collapse around my name
A universe inside my pain

⸻

(KARDASHEV CINEMATIC ENDING)

((Massive choir))
((Wall of reverb guitars))
((Orchestral percussion))
((Blast beats + tremolo riffs))

If I must live
Then I will scream their names

Across the void
Across collapsing flames

Every breath I draw tonight
Will carry forward all their light

((Choir repeating phrase))

Carry their light
Carry their light

⸻

(Outro – Universe Collapse)

((All instruments slowly detune))
((Cosmic rumble))
((Choir fading))

I walk beneath a dying sky
Still asking stars the reason why

((Final distant guitar harmonic))
