[Instrumental break — Down-tuned guitars slam in, Stuttering rhythm, Drums hit with sharp accents and offbeat punches]
[Verse 1 — airy, Dayseeker-soft, wounded]
I can feel the cracks beneath my skin,
Every thought is shaking loose again.
There’s a version of me screaming to be found,
But the shadows in my chest keep dragging me down.
I’ve been living like a ghost inside my own mind,
Watching all the worst parts rise and realign.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus — trembling build, screamed echoes]
I’m scared of who I’m becoming,
BECOMING!
Scared you’ll see it too.
SEE IT TOO!
If I lose myself completely,
LOSE MYSELF!
Will I lose you?
⸻
[Chorus — big, emotional, soaring, screamed echoes]
’’Cause I’m shattering,
SHATTERING!
Pieces of me cutting through the light.
I’m battling,
BATTLING!
A darker side I can’t hold back tonight.
If I fall again, will you still reach for me?
Or watch me drown in the storm I tried to keep
under control…
OUT OF CONTROL!
I’m losing control.
⸻
[Verse 2 — Spiritbox melodic-heavy, tense, screamed echoes]
Every heartbeat echoes like a warning sign,
WARNING SIGN!
I feel the guilt crawling up my spine.
There’s a war inside my ribs I can’t quiet down,
QUIET DOWN!
A fragile truth I’m terrified you’ll find out.
I’m unraveling in slow motion,
Held together by borrowed hope and devotion.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus — strained, emotional, screamed echoes]
I’m scared the damage is showing,
SHOWING!
Scared you’ll turn away.
TURN AWAY!
I’m slipping through my own fingers,
SLIPPING THROUGH!
More every day.
⸻
[Chorus — soaring, desperate, screamed echoes]
’Cause I’m shattering,
SHATTERING!
Pieces of me cutting through the light.
I’m battling,
BATTLING!
A darker side I can’t hold back tonight.
If I fall again, will you still reach for me?
Or watch me drown in the storm I tried to keep
under control…
LOSE CONTROL!
I’m losing control.
⸻
[Bridge — Spiritbox heavy/ethereal split]
[whispered]
I don’t want to be
The weight that breaks us—
The monster I fear the most
Is the one wearing my face…
[screamed]
Tear it open — THE PARTS I HID AWAY!
Let the fractured ghost SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY!
Can you hear me through the chaos in my veins?
Tell me I’m worth saving ONE. MORE. TIME.
One more time…
⸻
[Breakdown — crushing Spiritbox hit]
I’M SPIRALING!
SPIRALING!
GRIPPING THE EDGE OF WHO I’VE BEEN!
DON’T LET ME CAVE AGAIN—
DON’T LET ME BREAK AGAIN!
PULL ME BACK FROM THE DARK I LET IN!
⸻
[Final Chorus — Dayseeker emotional climax]
I’m still shattering,
SHATTERING!
But maybe you can hold the pieces with me.
I’m still battling,
BATTLING!
The fear that who I am will make you leave.
If I fall again, please don’t give up on me—
I’m fighting hard not to drown beneath
Everything I can’t control…
DON’T LET GO!
Please don’t let go.
I’M LOSING CONTROL!
