[INTRO – low guitar drone → double-kick fade-in] Some nights feel endless. Some thoughts feel heavier than bones. But I’m still here. ⸻ [VERSE 1 – RAP (FAST, CONTROLLED, DARK)] Woke up tired of wakin’ up, Mind feel trapped, chest feel numb, Smile fake but the weight real, Try to move but my legs still stuck. Every thought tellin’ me I’m done, Every mirror sayin’ “you’re not enough,” I carry storms behind calm eyes, Fight demons that don’t bleed or die. I tried silence, I tried space, Tried buryin’ pain, it stayed in place, They say “time heals,” I lost track, Time just stretched the same damn ache. But I’m still breathin’, still standin’, Even cracked, I’m still demandin’, If this pain wanna live in me, Then it gotta live with me fightin’ back. ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS – RAP → SCREAM BUILD] RAPPER: I was sinkin’ deep, nobody knew— SCREAMER: BUT I DIDN’T LET IT BURY YOU! ⸻ [CHORUS – FULL METAL BLAST] 🔥 I WAS BROKEN — NOT DEFEATED! 🔥 SCREAMER: SCARS DON’T MEAN I’M WEAK! 🔥 EVERY DAY I KEPT ON BREATHIN’ 🔥 RAPPER: THAT’S A WAR I WON’T RETREAT! 🔥 I’M STILL HERE — STILL STANDIN’! 🔥 SCREAMER: PAIN DIDN’T GET THE LAST WORD! 🔥 I FOUGHT MYSELF — AND I SURVIVED IT! 🔥 BOTH: I’M STILL BREATHING — THAT’S THE VERDICT! ⸻ [VERSE 2 – RAP (EVEN FASTER, MORE AGGRESSIVE)] Depression don’t look like chains, It look like laughin’ through the pain, Look like showin’ up every day While your mind scream “walk away.” I lost nights, I lost sleep, Lost faith in the version of me, But somewhere under all that doubt Was a pulse sayin’ “don’t black out.” I don’t talk it ‘cause it’s trendy, I don’t cry for sympathy, I survived what almost killed me, That ain’t weakness — that’s history. Some days I crawl, some days I fight, Some days I win by just stayin’ alive, If you knew the war behind my eyes, You’d know why I move like I do tonight. ⸻ [BREAKDOWN – HALF-TIME SLAM] (Music drops heavy) SCREAMER (LOW): DEPRESSION TOLD YOU TO QUIT. RAPPER (COLD): I told it “try harder.” (Drums explode back in) ⸻ [VERSE 3 – SCREAMER LEAD / RAP STACKED] SCREAMER: I HIT THE BOTTOM! I HIT THE FLOOR! FOUND OUT WHAT I’M MADE FOR! RAPPER (under): I don’t need perfect, I need progress, One more step is a protest. SCREAMER: NO MORE SILENCE! NO MORE LIES! I WON’T LET THIS EAT ME ALIVE! ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS – FASTEST, MOST EMOTIONAL] 🔥 I WAS BROKEN — NOT DEFEATED! 🔥 SCREAMER: PAIN DON’T OWN MY NAME! 🔥 EVERY DAY I KEPT ON BREATHIN’ 🔥 RAPPER: I WALKED THROUGH HELL AND STAYED! 🔥 I’M STILL HERE — STILL STANDIN’! 🔥 SCREAMER: I FOUGHT THE DARK INSIDE! 🔥 I FOUGHT MYSELF — AND I SURVIVED IT! 🔥 BOTH: I’M STILL BREATHING — STILL ALIVE! ⸻ [OUTRO – QUIET → HEAVY FINAL HIT] RAPPER (low): If you’re still breathing… You’re still fighting. SCREAMER (final shout): STAY. (Final blast. Cut.)

“STILL BREATHING”
