[Intro – Guitars // Feedback Swell]
[Jagged chords, frantic tempo, dissonance building]
[Voice 1 – Screamed]
The sidewalks bleed with broken trust,
Every smile feels like rust,
Hands that used to help now shove,
Is this apathy or love?
[Voice 2 – Clean, airy]
The world turns faster, but my breath is stuck,
I reach for kindness, but it’s covered in dust,
You can’t remember what you never learned,
Common ground in flames still burns.
[Instrumental – Bass // Drop riff sync with drums]
[Syncopated crash // half-time breakdown]
[Voice 1 – Screamed]
I hear static in my head,
The words you said,
Cut through glass like razors,
No courtesy left, only traitors!
[Voice 2 – Clean, soaring]
I’m unraveling thread by thread,
Every day feels counterfeit,
Is this madness creeping in,
Or just the shape the world is in?
[Instrumental – Guitars // High reverb lead, eerie-style atmosphere]
[Voice 1 – Screamed / overlapping clean harmonies]
I can’t adapt—
(The weight won’t lift!)
I can’t collapse—
(But I’m sinking quick!)
I can’t ignore—
(The fractures spread!)
The world I knew is already dead!
[Breakdown – Guitars // Dissonant Chug]
[Down-tuned // chaotic rhythm // blast of drums]
[Voice 1 – Screamed]
Courtesy is a corpse on the pavement!
Sanity rots in the basement!
Change comes like a plague, no consent!
We’re the disease we invent!
[Bridge – Clean + Screamed call/response]
[Clean] “I’m losing sight of who I am…”
[Screamed] “…you’re losing sight of who we were!”
[Clean] “The silence swallows every hand…”
[Screamed] “…and drowns the kindness we deserve!”
[Outro – Both voices overlap // chaotic build then cut]
[Clean – echo]
“Is anyone listening…?
Is anyone listening…?”
[Screamed – final blow]
WE KILLED OUR OWN EMPATHY!
[Guitars ring out, collapse into noise.]
