(rap, Alt-pop / hip-hop war anthem with male vocals; low, ominous verses over cinematic toms, distant choirs, and distorted down-tuned guitars. Choruses explode with gang shouts, stacked octave vocals, and sub drops that suck the air out. Tension builds from heartbeat-like kicks and sparse drones into a massive final hook with extra chants and rising guitar feedback., pop, male vocals, deep, hip-hop)
Verse 1
It’s there when I wake
Before I can think
A weight in the silence
That doesn’t release
It leans in the corners
It hums in the walls
Every quiet moment
It’s already there
Pre-Chorus
I don’t reach for it
I don’t try
But it’s woven
Through every line
Chorus
Stay
It doesn’t fade away
It follows every thought
It settles in its place
Stay
It doesn’t have a name
But every road I take
Returns me to the same
⸻
Verse 2
Every answer softens
Before it can land
Like something inside me
Won’t let it stand
There’s a shape in the distance
I almost can see
But the closer I get
It dissolves into me
Pre-Chorus
I don’t fight it
I don’t choose
But it colors
Everything I do
Chorus
Stay
It doesn’t fade away
It follows every thought
It settles in its place
Stay
It doesn’t have a name
But every road I take
Returns me to the same
⸻
Bridge (strip down, intimate)
If I quiet everything
It gets clearer somehow
Not louder, not closer
Just more present now
Like a thread through my thinking
Like a mark I can’t erase
It’s not asking for anything
It just stays
⸻
Final Chorus
Stay
It never leaves the frame
It’s under every word
It’s underneath my name
Stay
It’s constant, it remains
Every thought I follow
Leads me back again
Stay
Stay
It stays
