Pushing Forward While Falling Apart

[Verse 1]
Alarm on my phone, but my bones say “stay”
Face in the pillow like “hide all day”
Even when it’s just getting out of bed
Every step’s a war going on in my head
Coffee gone cold on the same old desk
Unread texts, blue ticks, “are you depressed?”
I laugh it off, but my chest feels tight
Like I’m pinned to the floor by the weight of the night
[Chorus]
But I keep pushing forward while I’m falling apart
Dragging all these cracks like tattoos on my heart
If waking up hurts, then it means I’m alive
I don’t need a reason, I just need to survive
Yeah, I keep pushing forward while I’m breaking inside
Staring down the void till it’s blinking its eyes
If waking up hurts, then I’m still in the fight
So I’ll rise, I’ll rise, I’ll rise
[Verse 2]
I believe in something I can’t explain
More than chemicals tangled in my brain
Call it fate, call it glitch in the code
Call it one more chance on a messed-up road
Every scar on my skin got a secret name
Every loss, every ghost still shaping my frame
Maybe all this pain is a door not a wall
Maybe I was made just to trip, not fall (hey!)
[Chorus]
But I keep pushing forward while I’m falling apart
Dragging all these cracks like tattoos on my heart
If waking up hurts, then it means I’m alive
I don’t need a reason, I just need to survive
Yeah, I keep pushing forward while I’m breaking inside
Staring down the void till it’s blinking its eyes
If waking up hurts, then I’m still in the fight
So I’ll rise, I’ll rise, I’ll rise
[Bridge]
Some days just breathing is burning
Every small movement, a mountain
Still there’s a quiet voice humming
“Keep moving, keep moving, keep counting”
[Chorus]
‘Cause I keep pushing forward while I’m falling apart
Dragging all these cracks like tattoos on my heart
If waking up hurts, then it means I’m alive
I don’t need a reason, I just need to survive
Yeah, I keep pushing forward while I’m breaking inside
Staring down the void till it’s blinking its eyes
If waking up hurts, then I’m still in the fight
So I’ll rise, I’ll rise, I’ll rise (oh yeah)
Yeah, I’ll rise, I’ll rise, I’ll rise

rap, Gritty post-grunge emo trap: detuned guitars over blown-out 808-style low end, stuttery hi-hats, and hazy pads. Male vocals, half-sung half-rapped verses close-mic’d and intimate; choruses explode with doubled vocals and shouty ad-libs. Subtle vocoder harmonies in the bridge, lots of saturation and roomy drum sound for a raw, basement-show feel., emo, grunge
