Intro (haunting piano / whispered vocal)
I’m suffocating in my own skin,
Screaming so loud but it stays within.
This cage I built, I can’t escape,
Another promise I can’t remake.
⸻
Verse 1 (spoken/sung, fragile)
Every cut is another confession,
Every scar is a private obsession.
I try to numb what I can’t erase,
But the mirror won’t forget my face.
⸻
Pre-Chorus (tension rising, drums enter)
I’m hanging by a thread,
With demons in my head.
If this is living—
Then why do I feel dead?
⸻
Chorus (explosive, anthem)
This is my drowning in silence,
My war with the violence.
I can’t keep running away,
When the pain just begs me to stay.
This is my fall into madness,
My home in the blackness.
I can’t keep faking a smile,
When I’ve been broken all the while.
⸻
Verse 2 (rap/scream hybrid, Falling In Reverse energy)
I choke on the words that I’ll never say,
I bury the truth, push it all away.
A ticking time bomb in my veins,
Counting down ’til I cave in again.
⸻
Pre-Chorus (soaring falsetto layered with screams)
I’m hanging by a thread,
With demons in my head.
If this is living—
Then why do I feel dead?
⸻
Chorus (repeat, bigger)
This is my drowning in silence,
My war with the violence.
I can’t keep running away,
When the pain just begs me to stay.
This is my fall into madness,
My home in the blackness.
I can’t keep faking a smile,
When I’ve been broken all the while.
⸻
Bridge (breakdown — heavy guitars, screamed vocals)
Rip me open,
Spill my soul,
Drag me under,
Lose control!
Every breath’s a funeral hymn,
I don’t know where I end or begin!
⸻
Final Chorus (soaring + screaming layers)
This is my drowning in silence,
My war with the violence.
I can’t keep running away,
When the pain just begs me to stay.
This is my fall into madness,
My home in the blackness.
I can’t keep faking a smile,
When I’ve been broken all the while.
⸻
Outro (fragile, piano + whispered)
I’m suffocating in my own skin…
Screaming so loud… but it stays within.
