Destroying Myself

Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1
I wake up with a weight on my chest,
Every breath feels like a test.
Voices screaming inside my head,
Telling me I’m better off dead.

I tried to be strong, tried to pretend,
But every road just meets the end.
I built these walls to feel alive,
Now they’re the reason I can’t survive.

Pre-Chorus
I’m chasing shadows in my mind,
Running from the truth I hide.
Every step, another lie,
I’m losing pieces every time.

Chorus (Scream / Power)
I’M DESTROYING MYSELF
JUST TO FEEL SOMETHING REAL
TEARING APART
EVERYTHING THAT I FEEL

I’M DESTROYING MYSELF
CAN’T ESCAPE FROM THIS HELL
SCREAMING INSIDE
AS I’M BURNING ALIVE

Verse 2
I look in the mirror, don’t know that face,
Just a ghost trapped in empty space.
Promises broken, trust turned to dust,
I gave you everything — you trampled it all.

I tried to scream, but lost my voice,
Every silence made the choice.
I bleed in words you’ll never hear,
Drowning slowly in my fear.

Pre-Chorus
I’m standing on the edge again,
One more breath away from the end.
I hold the pain like it’s my home,
Afraid to die, afraid to be alone.

Chorus (Scream / Power)
I’M DESTROYING MYSELF
JUST TO FEEL SOMETHING REAL
TEARING APART
EVERYTHING THAT I FEEL

I’M DESTROYING MYSELF
CAN’T ESCAPE FROM THIS HELL
SCREAMING INSIDE
AS I’M BURNING ALIVE

Bridge (Rap / Fast, Dark)
Locked in my head, no exit sign,
Every memory cuts like a knife.
I gave my soul just to belong,
Now I don’t know where I went wrong.

I tried to heal, I tried to change,
But pain keeps circling my name.
If this is living, tell me why
It feels like I’m learning how to die.

Breakdown (Quiet → Explosion)
I don’t wanna feel
I don’t wanna care
I don’t wanna live
Like I’m already dead

Final Chorus (Max Emotion)
I’M DESTROYING MYSELF
BUT I’M STILL STANDING HERE
BROKEN AND LOST
DROWNING IN FEAR

I’M DESTROYING MYSELF
BUT I’M FIGHTING INSIDE
THROUGH ALL THE PAIN
I’M STILL ALIVE

Outro (Quiet)
If I survive what’s killing me,
Maybe someday I’ll finally be… free.
