Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] (Feedback swells into a slow, distorted guitar chug. A faint, ghostly hum sits in the background.) [Verse 1] The clock is ticking backwards on the wall Tracing shadows that refuse to fall I built this sanctuary stone by stone But now the marrow’s rotting in the bone. Every mirror is a stranger’s face A silhouette I never can erase. [Pre-Chorus] (Music drops out, leaving only a pulsing synth and a whispered vocal) Static in my head... I’m breathing, but I’m dead. [Chorus] (Heavy, driving beat with double-bass drumming) I’m waking up inside a nightmare! Chained to a ghost I can’t outrun. I’m screaming into the cold air Forgetting how I ever saw the sun. Where did the thread begin to fray? Where did I throw my soul away? I don't know where I went wrong... I’ve been a victim here for far too long. [Verse 2] (Faster tempo, aggressive "barking" vocal style mixed with melodic runs) Cobwebs on the memories I kept While the demons in the basement never slept. I followed every map I ever drew But every road just leads back here to you— To the failure, to the fracture, to the fear How did I end up haunted here? [Bridge] (The "Breakdown" – slow, dissonant, and punishingly heavy) TEAR. IT. DOWN. (Low scream) I am the architect of my own cage! (Guitars syncopate with the drums) Left the light behind! Lost the peace of mind! WHERE DID I GO WRONG? WHERE DID I GO WRONG? [Chorus] (Full soaring melody with heavy backing) I’m waking up inside a nightmare! Chained to a ghost I can’t outrun. I’m screaming into the cold air Forgetting how I ever saw the sun. Where did the thread begin to fray? Where did I throw my soul away? I don't know where I went wrong... [Outro] (Guitars fade into a melancholy acoustic melody) I missed the turn... I watched it burn... (Whispered) Welcome to the nightmare.
