[Intro]
whispered, layered voices]
(faint, overlapping, almost distorted)
“Can you feel it…”
“…it’s still beating…”
“…don’t let it die…”
[Verse]
I hear them screaming like it means I’m alive
But every voice just echoes hollow inside
I play it louder just to drown out the truth
If I stop now… I might hear you
[Pre Chorus]
tension building]
Don’t look too close, you’ll see through me
Cracks in the sound, in the melody
I gave you everything I had to bleed
But you only love the ghost of me
[Chorus]
explosive, raw]
This is my black pulse beating in the night
Every broken piece screaming I’m alive
If I disappear in the sound I made—
Would you even notice I’m not okay?
Turn it up, let it bury me whole
Every note just digging the hole
If this is all I’ll ever be—
Just a heartbeat you can’t see
[Verse]
stronger, more bitter]
You call me god like I don’t fall apart
Like I don’t tear my own chest for art
Every chord is a scar I chose
Every lyric… a truth I choke
[Pre Chorus]
strained, emotional]
Don’t say my name like you understand
You don’t know me—you know the band
I built this cage with my own hands
Now I can’t break what I am
[Chorus]
louder, layered vocals]
This is my black pulse beating in the night
Every shattered breath fighting for a light
If I vanish in the sound I made—
Would you finally hear what I couldn’t say?
Turn it up, let it swallow me whole
Every scream losing control
If this is all I’ll ever be—
Just a shadow they came to see
[Bridge]
stripped, almost breaking]
(soft… like he’s about to fall apart)
If I go silent… would you stay?
If I stop playing… fade away?
(whispers layered behind him)
“Don’t stop… don’t stop…”
(voice cracks)
I don’t know who I am without the noise
[Final Chorus]
full power, desperate]
This is my black pulse tearing through my chest
Every second failing the test
If I give you everything I am—
Will you love me… or just the sound?
Turn it up till I can’t feel pain
Till my voice just breaks in the rain
If this is how I disappear—
At least you’ll hear me while I’m here
[Outro]
fading, heartbeat + whispers]
(heartbeat slowing)
“…still beating…”
“…still breaking…”
“…don’t let it—”
(cut to silence)
