Intro (Female – clean, distant)
I wake up counting cracks in the ceiling
Wondering which one’s mine
Intro (Male – low scream)
Every breath feels temporary
⸻
Verse 1
Male (scream):
Mind like a warzone, no ceasefire signed
Every second feels borrowed, like I’m stealing time
I’m dragging these thoughts like chains through hell
No future promised, no warning bell
Female (clean → grit):
I hold it together with shaking hands
Smile stitched tight, they don’t understand
I’m not afraid of dying
I’m afraid of fading out
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Female (clean):
How long can we bleed without being seen?
Male (scream):
How long can I live inside in-between?
⸻
Chorus (Both – alternating → together)
Male (scream):
I DON’T KNOW HOW LONG I’VE GOT
Female (belt):
I DON’T KNOW WHAT COMES NEXT
Male:
EVERY DAY FEELS LIKE A COUNTDOWN CLOCK
Female:
WITH A HEART UNDER TOO MUCH STRESS
Both:
WE’RE STILL HERE, BUT THE GROUND IS THIN
EVERY STEP COULD BE THE END
IF THIS IS ALL THE TIME WE GET
WE’LL SCREAM UNTIL THE STATIC BENDS
⸻
Verse 2
Female (clean):
There’s a storm behind my ribs
I don’t talk about it, I just live with it
I carry guilt like it’s oxygen
Breathe it in, let it settle in
Male (scream):
I’ve seen the edge, I’ve felt the pull
Heard the silence get fucking cruel
But something keeps me standing here
Maybe fear… maybe hope… I’m not clear
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Female (soft):
If tomorrow never comes…
Male (low growl):
Then tonight still fucking counts
⸻
Chorus (Both – layered)
Male:
I DON’T KNOW HOW LONG I’VE GOT
Female:
BUT I’M NOT LETTING GO
Male:
EVERY SCAR IS A WARNING SHOT
Female:
THAT I’VE SURVIVED WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW
Both:
WE’RE STILL BREATHING, STILL IN THE FIGHT
EVEN WHEN THE LIGHT’S PAPER-THIN
IF THIS IS ALL THE TIME WE GET
WE’LL BURN BRIGHTER THAN THE END
⸻
Breakdown (Male dominant, Female echoes)
Male:
TIME IS A BLADE
CUTTING ME DOWN
Female (echo):
Cutting me down
Male:
BUT I’M STILL STANDING
ON SHAKING GROUND
Female:
Still standing
Male:
I’M NOT DONE
I’M NOT GONE
Female (strong):
I’M STILL HERE
I’M HOLDING ON
⸻
Bridge (Female lead → Male response)
Female (clean, emotional):
If I disappear inside my head
Promise me I’m not alone
Male (scream, restrained):
You’re not alone—
I’M RIGHT HERE IN THE BONE
⸻
Final Chorus (Both – united)
Both:
WE DON’T KNOW HOW LONG WE’VE GOT
BUT WE’RE STILL ALIVE RIGHT NOW
EVERY SECOND IS A FUCKING GIFT
EVEN IF WE DON’T KNOW HOW
WE’LL COUNT HEARTBEATS, NOT THE YEARS
WE’LL STAND EVEN WHEN WE BEND
IF THIS IS ALL THE TIME WE GET
WE’LL MAKE IT LOUD
WE’LL MAKE IT MEAN
WE’LL MAKE IT ENDURE
⸻

Still here
