(Intro – dark piano, eerie atmosphere, slow tension build)
Cold walls breathing, heartbeat in the dark
Shivers crawl beneath my skin, leave their mark
Fingers clutch nothing, reaching for the air
Something whispers, something’s always there
(Verse 1 – tight groove, muted guitars, subtle piano)
Mind’s a cage, every thought a fight
Every shadow crawling closer in the night
Teeth grind hard, every nerve awake
Walking through a fever that I can’t shake
(Pre-Chorus – rising tension, piano swells)
Pressure mounting, can’t turn around
Lost in the noise, no solid ground
(Chorus – explosive, heavy guitars, dark piano driving)
Burning in my veins, tearing through my mind
Can’t tell night from day, leaving light behind
Claws beneath my skin, pulling me within
Nothing left to hide, let the darkness in
Hear the walls scream loud, standing in the shroud
Every corner bends, shadows all around
No control remains, can’t escape the haze
Feel it crawling deep, trapped in the maze
(Verse 2 – driving rhythm, pulsing bass, haunting piano)
Eyes wide open, can’t close them now
Walls keep bending, don’t know how
Heartbeat racing like a loaded gun
Chasing the fever till the night is done
(Pre-Chorus – building tension, layered piano + guitars)
No escape, can’t fight the burn
Every corner I turn, the shadows learn
(Chorus – wider, more aggressive, layered guitars)
Burning in my veins, tearing through my mind
Can’t tell night from day, leaving light behind
Claws beneath my skin, pulling me within
Nothing left to hide, let the darkness in
Hear the walls scream loud, standing in the shroud
Every corner bends, shadows all around
No control remains, can’t escape the haze
Feel it crawling deep, trapped in the maze
(Bridge – half-time, dark piano dominant, crushing atmosphere)
Breathing shallow, trapped in a haze
Counting down in a smoky maze
Every step like I’m falling fast
Every shadow drags me to the past
(Breakdown – chugging guitars, percussive, raw energy)
Snap — crack — heartbeat in the dirt
Noise — rage — twisting in the hurt
Crush — burn — can’t escape the flame
Calling my name, dragging me to blame
(Guitar Solo – chaotic, emotional, soaring lead)
(Final Chorus – maximum intensity, cinematic)
Burning in my veins, tearing through my mind
Can’t tell night from day, leaving light behind
Claws beneath my skin, pulling me within
Nothing left to hide, let the darkness in
Hear the walls scream loud, standing in the shroud
Every corner bends, shadows all around
No control remains, can’t escape the haze
Feel it crawling deep, trapped in the maze
(Outro – slow, eerie piano, fading tension)
Shadows fade but the fever stays
Burning deep through nights and days
No escape from what I’ve become
The sickness… has won
