(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
