[Verse 1]
Woke up in a world I don’t recognize
Dust on the mirror, but the cracks are in my eyes
Every breath tastes like rust and fear
And the silence is louder than I ever hear
[Pre-Chorus]
Try to hold it in — I bite the scream
But it leaks out through my teeth in every dream
---
[Chorus]
Dead inside my head
Where the monsters made their bed
They whisper lies like lullabies
And paint their names in red
Don’t tell me I’ll be fine
This storm is mine to tread
I’m walking on a wire
Dead inside my head
---
[Verse 2]
Memory’s a blade, and it cuts too deep
I’ve built a prison just so I could sleep
Voices in the walls, they call my name
I answer back, but I’m not the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Truth slips through like water through my hands
And I’m sinking in a place where no one stands
---
[Chorus]
Dead inside my head
Where the monsters made their bed
They feed on fear, they pull me near
I drown in what they said
Don’t promise me the light
When I only see the red
I’m burning from within
Dead inside my head
---
[Bridge – (Melodic Breakdown, fading into reverb)
(Tense, whispered and rising into full-voice)
It’s not the dark that scares me most
It’s the silence when I need a ghost
I begged for help but never spoke
Now every word just starts to choke
---
[Final Chorus – Full emotion, layered vocal harmonies, slight rasp]
Dead inside my head
Like a room that love has fled
There's static in my bloodstream
And fire where hope once bled
Don’t ask me to explain
Some damage can't be said
So I’ll just smile and nod
Dead inside my head
---
[Outro – Ambient fading guitar with soft vocal line]
I used to know who I was...
Now I’m just noise in the fog
