[Intro – Muffled screams under dirt, heartbeat thudding slower and slower]
“I’m still in here… but I don’t know how much longer.”
⸻
[Verse 1 – Clean vocals, breathy and broken]
I hear the soil fall, grain by grain
Can’t move my hands, can’t scream my name
The face in the mirror is blank and calm
While inside I’m clawing through the psalm
I left my will in a hole too deep
Now something else tucks me to sleep
I blink and lose another piece
As my own reflection starts to feast
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Distant, pained melody with whispered doubles]
Dig me out, if I’m still real…
But I’ve forgotten how to feel…
⸻
[Chorus – Heavy, emotionally chaotic blend of clean/screamed vocals]
I’m buried beneath me—six feet below
While something in my skin starts to grow
It smiles when I break, it thrives in decay
Wears my voice like it’s something to flay
I’m screaming loud with no sound at all
Just echoes trapped in these paper walls
You see a body—you see me breathe
But I’m already buried beneath
⸻
[Verse 2 – Spoken-word start, then rising tension in delivery]
I dream in third-person, watch myself decay
This isn’t a phase—it’s where I’ll stay
I rot in rooms no one can see
And something whispers every time I breathe
I gave up control to stay intact
But now it won’t ever give me back
Every thought is counterfeit
A hollow shrine that won’t admit
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Repeat, more distorted, emotional strain]
Dig me out, if I still bleed…
But I’m not sure I want to leave…
⸻
[Chorus – Repeat with heavier drums, layered screams rising]
I’m buried beneath me—six feet below
While something in my skin starts to grow
It smiles when I break, it thrives in decay
Wears my voice like it’s something to flay
I’m screaming loud with no sound at all
Just echoes trapped in these paper walls
You see a body—you see me breathe
But I’m already buried beneath
⸻
[Breakdown – Crushing drop, brutal vocal delivery, static bleeding in]
(YOU LEFT ME HERE!)
TO ROT IN FLESH YOU WON’T FORGIVE!
A COFFIN CRAFTED FROM MY MIND—
NOW WATCH ME CRAWL OUT FROM INSIDE!
(I AM THE GRAVE. I AM THE STONE.)
I AM THE SOUL YOU DIED TO OWN!
⸻
[Bridge – Slower, ghostlike clean vocals over piano + ambient static]
Cover the cracks, seal the scream…
Tell them I was just a dream…
No need to dig, no need to see…
Just let me rot beneath the “me.”
⸻
[Final Chorus – Dragged tempo, more melodic, hopelessly beautiful]
I’m buried beneath me—forgotten form
My name erased, my body warm
It’s smiling now, in all the light
While I decay just out of sight
So if you love me—don’t get too near
You’ll find the rot and feed the fear
You’ll see the truth I tried to leave…
That I’ve always been buried beneath.
⸻
[Outro – Faint scraping sounds, breath fades out… silence.]
“Don’t dig me up. I belong here now.”
