Blackout

[Verse 1]
Lights flicker, walls cave in
Chasing ghosts under my skin
Every heartbeat feels like static
Another cut, another habit
Wires tangled in my head
Can’t escape the things I’ve said
Another night of hollow fights
Another war I’ll never win
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep reaching for the edge
But I’m slipping down instead
Tell me, do you hear the sound?
Or am I just another blackout?
[Chorus Big, soaring, anthemic with full distortion, layered guitars, and pounding drums.]
I’ve been running, running blind
Through the fire, through the night
Every shadow’s got my name
Pulling me back into the flames
I’ve been holding, holding tight
To something that was never mine
But I can’t fight the fade
I feel myself blackout again
[Quick drum fill leading into a punchy instrumental riff.]
[Verse 2]
Footsteps echo down the hall
But no one’s there, no one at all
Every promise turns to rust
Every memory lost in dust
I see my reflection crack
But I don’t know who’s looking back
Tell me, does it even matter?
Or am I just another fracture?
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep reaching for the edge
But I’m slipping down instead
Tell me, do you hear the sound?
Or am I just another blackout?
[Chorus Even bigger, with more layered vocals and harmonies.]
I’ve been running, running blind
Through the fire, through the night
Every shadow’s got my name
Pulling me back into the flames
I’ve been holding, holding tight
To something that was never mine
But I can’t fight the fade
I feel myself blackout again
[Instrumental break—guitars rip through a post-hardcore-style riff, heavy and atmospheric, letting the song breathe before the bridge.]
[Bridge Stripped-down moment—guitar reverb lingers, drums go quiet, vocals become intimate and raw.]
I swore I'd never be this lost again
But here I am, sinking in…
[Drums start building back up, tension rising, guitars layering with an urgent rhythm.]
And if I fade into the static
Will you notice that I’ve gone?
[Final Chorus The most powerful, emotional version yet.]
I’ve been running, running blind
Through the fire, through the night
Every shadow’s got my name
Pulling me back into the flames
I’ve been holding, holding tight
To something that was never mine
But I can’t fight the fade
I feel myself blackout again
