[Intro – distant guitar, feedback, whispered]
Why do life do this to me…
Why do life do this to me…
[Verse 1]
I wake up already losing ground
Like fate woke first just to knock me down
I did it right, I did it clean
Still paid the price for surviving me
I carried weight that wasn’t mine
Held the line while they crossed it twice
They say “stay strong” like it’s free
BUT STRENGTH BEEN BLEEDING OUT OF ME
[Pre-Chorus – rising]
I wish my karma could stop kicking me while I’m down
But it feels like my luck got erased, not found
If this is balance, explain the role
Why it’s always my name written in blood-soaked notes
[Chorus – scream / melodic scream]
WHY DO LIFE DO THIS TO MEEE
EVERY TIME I STAND, IT CUTS ME DEEP
I GIVE MY ALL, IT TAKES IT WHOLE
LEAVES ME EMPTY, LEAVES ME COLD
WHY DO LIFE DO THIS TO MEEE
MY LUCK WAS REPLACED WITH MISERY
IF THIS IS LIVING, TELL ME WHY
IT FEELS LIKE DYING JUST TO STAY ALIVE
[Verse 2 – heavier riff]
I watched the wicked get their rest
While I choke on what’s left
They call it karma, call it fate
BUT IT FEELS PERSONAL AT THIS RATE
Every door I tried to pry
Slams shut just to watch me try
I didn’t run, I didn’t fold
Still got punished for being bold
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I wish my karma would let me breathe
Instead it circles back and buries me
My luck was replaced in a whole
With scars, with loss, with a permanent hole
[Chorus – bigger, layered]
WHY DO LIFE DO THIS TO MEEE
EVERY BREATH FEELS LIKE AN ENEMY
I FOUGHT SO HARD JUST TO BELONG
WHY DOES SURVIVING FEEL SO WRONG
WHY DO LIFE DO THIS TO MEEE
KARMA TOOK MY LUCK AND CALLED IT EVEN
IF I’M STILL HERE, THERE’S GOTTA BE
A FUCKING REASON I CAN’T SEE
[Bridge – silence → slow spoken]
They told me “life’s a fair fight”
Said “everyone bleeds the same”
(beat drops, distortion creeps in)
But nobody talks about the start line…
OR WHO WAS BORN IN CHAINS
[Breakdown / Reveal – massive drop]
BUT I STILL STAND!!! (full scream)
I rebel back with an organized hand
Not chaos — I learned how to plan
They call it luck, they call it choice
BUT I WAS MUZZLED BEFORE I HAD A VOICE
THIS WASN’T EQUAL — NEVER WAS
THE WAR WAS RIGGED FROM THE BLOOD
BORN ON THE LOSING SIDE OF THE SCALE
SAME WORLD — DIFFERENT HELL
I didn’t trip — THE GROUND WAS SLOPED
I didn’t fail — I WAS NEVER HOPE
They gave you armor, gave me blame
Called it “life” and said “play the game”
[Scream Section]
I FOUGHT AN UNBALANCED WAR FROM BIRTH
YOU CALL IT FAIR — I CALL IT CURSED
IF I’M STILL BREATHING, STILL IN COMMAND
THEN EVERY STEP I TAKE IS A STAND
BUT I STILL STAND!!! (layered screams)
[Final Chorus – half clean / half scream, victorious but scarred]
WHY DO LIFE DO THIS TO MEEE
WHY AM I THE COST OF EVERY DREAM
IF THIS WORLD WANTS ME BROKEN BAD
I’LL STAND UP WITH THE SCARS I HAVE
WHY DO LIFE DO THIS TO MEEE
I’LL TURN THIS PAIN INTO A SCREAM
YOU CAN BURY ME IN MISERY
BUT I WON’T LET IT BURY ME
[Outro – fading, cold truth]
This wasn’t survival of the best…
It was survival of who they let live.
OOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
