[Intro]
(Heavy guitar riff, rising bass)
(Extreme vocals: GHH-A-A-A!)
[Verse 1]
I’m locked in a cage made of my own thoughts,
The walls are closing in, the air has gone still.
Every whisper is a blade in my back,
Every breath feels like poison I drank till I’d fill.
I screamed, but no one heard a single sound,
The echo bangs against the inside of my skull.
This world is slowly choking me down,
Tearing what’s left of my soul!
(Extreme vocals: R-R-RA-A-A-GH!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Gather the shards if you think you can find,
The truth cuts my eyes—don’t even try to look.
We’re burning just to give off a light,
But there’s nothing left in these flames to take.
[Chorus]
Blow this world to its very foundations!
Let the ashes cover everything that used to matter.
I won’t beg the sky for forgiveness—
I’ve become my own worst nightmare!
(Scream: A-A-A-A-A!)
I’m a spark in the dark, I’m a punch in the silence,
Break these walls down, let me break free from this prison!
[Verse 2]
Mirrors don’t show my face anymore,
Stranger’s eyes stare out from my own shadow.
I forgot my name long before this war,
Among a thousand empty, lying echoes.
Words get stuck in my throat like a stone,
I try to breathe, but the air’s too thick to pull.
Everything that was alive is now just bone,
I’m drowning in this heavy, hollow pull!
(Extreme vocals: GHH-R-R-RA!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Gather the shards if you think you can find,
The truth cuts my eyes—don’t even try to look.
We’re burning just to give off a light,
But there’s nothing left in these flames to take.
[Chorus]
Blow this world to its very foundations!
Let the ashes cover everything that used to matter.
I won’t beg the sky for forgiveness—
I’ve become my own worst nightmare!
(Scream: U-U-U-A-A-A!)
I’m a spark in the dark, I’m a punch in the silence,
Break these walls down, let me break free from this prison!
[Bridge]
(Slow, heavy, almost whispered)
Silence is louder than any scream…
Pain is the only compass I keep…
(Sudden shift, extreme vocals at the edge)
I WON’T GIVE UP! I WON’T BREAK!
I’LL BURN TILL EVERYTHING GOES BLACK!
(GHH-A-A-A-A-A-A!)
[Solo — aggressive guitar, chaotic drums]
[Chorus]
Blow this world to its very foundations!
Let the ashes cover everything that used to matter.
I won’t beg the sky for forgiveness—
I’ve become my own worst nightmare!
[Outro]
(Fading guitar feedback)
(Final scream: A-A-A…)
Only ashes…
Only silence…
(Cymbal crash — sudden cut of sound)
