[Intro][Emotional]
(quiet guitar picking)
I don’t even know
Why I bother anymore
[Verse 1][Emo Rap Style]
Woke up on the floor again
Eyes bloodshot, heart feels spent
Scrolling through my failures
Counting all my dead ends
Talking to the ceiling
Cause no one ever listens
They say “just keep your head up”
But they don’t know this prison
[Pre-Chorus][Attitude]
Tell me how to fix this
When I’m the one who’s broken
Every promise that I made
Was just another token
[Chorus][Hook][Powerful]
Why do I even keep trying
When everything I touch ends up dying
Why do I even keep fighting
When no one hears me screaming, crying
[Rap Verse][Attitude]
Cracks in my mirror, blood on my knuckles
Fake smiles for photos, inside I buckle
I’m my own worst enemy
This war is killing me
They say it gets better but I don’t see it
Truth is ugly, I can’t believe it
All these dreams I’m chasing
Just feel like they're wasting
[Instrumental Break][Alt Rock Guitar]
[distorted guitar chords]
[drums kick in heavy]
[Verse 2][Emotional]
Tell me there’s a reason
To drag my bones through another season
Tell me there’s a point
When hope feels like treason
Empty bottles on my floor
Letters I never sent
I’m too proud to ask for help
But I don’t know where it went
[Pre-Chorus][Attitude]
Tell me how to fix this
When I’m the one who’s broken
Every promise that I made
Just another lie unspoken
[Chorus][Hook][Powerful]
Why do I even keep trying
When everything I touch ends up dying
Why do I even keep fighting
When no one hears me screaming, crying
[Bridge][Emotional]
I’m tired of pretending
I’m tired of mending
I’m tired of hoping
When everything’s ending
[Rap Verse][Attitude]
Look at my past, it’s all just ashes
Fake friends, fake love, fake second chances
I’m the ghost in my own reflection
Trapped in self-doubt and introspection
I’m screaming at walls that don’t answer back
Haunted by dreams that always crack
Why do I bother putting pen to paper
If no one remembers me later
[Instrumental Break][Emo Rap Beat + Guitar]
[low-fi crackle, reverb-heavy guitar]
[Chorus][Hook][Powerful x2]
Why do I even keep trying
When everything I touch ends up dying
Why do I even keep fighting
When no one hears me screaming, crying
Why do I even keep trying
When I don’t even know if I’m lying
Why do I even keep fighting
When inside I’m already dying
[Outro][Ethereal]
(fading guitar)
I don’t even know
Why I bother anymore
