Standing in the Void

VERSE 1 (Clean – restrained, dark)

I wake to silence screaming back
A war inside my mind
Every mirror’s cracking glass
No peace to try and find

I drag my sins in heavy chains
They follow where I go
A shadow carved from broken days
I never asked to know

⸻

PRE-CHORUS (Clean – rising tension)

The voices say I’m cursed to fail
A fracture I can’t outrun
That I’ll become the damage done
Before the damage comes

⸻

CHORUS (Clean – BIG, melodic, anthemic)

I’m standing in the void tonight
But I refuse to fade
I’ve danced with death, I’ve lost the fight
Still I won’t be erased

You don’t own my soul
You don’t claim my name
I won’t pass this hell
Down my bloodline’s veins

I’m standing in the void tonight
Still breathing through the pain

⸻

VERSE 2 (Clean – more personal, emotional)

I learned to live with clenched fists
In houses filled with doubt
I watched a man just drift away
Never hear him shout

Now fear tells me I’m next in line
To disappear the same
To leave behind a broken home
And pass along the blame

⸻

PRE-CHORUS 2 (Clean – stronger resolve)

But I won’t vanish in her eyes
I won’t become the past
I’ll be the one who stays behind
When every shadow asks

⸻

CHORUS (Repeat – heavier instrumentation)

I’m standing in the void tonight
But I refuse to fade
I’ve danced with death, I’ve lost the fight
Still I won’t be erased

You don’t own my soul
You don’t claim my name
I won’t pass this hell
Down my bloodline’s veins

I’m standing in the void tonight
Still breathing through the pain

⸻

BRIDGE (Harsh / Half-scream – aggressive, breakdown feel)

I feel it crawling under my skin
The doubt, the rot, the fear within
A thousand times I almost quit
But hear my heart — it won’t submit

I’ll bleed before I walk away
I’ll burn before I turn to gray
If I’m damned, then let me fight
I won’t become the night

⸻

FINAL CHORUS (Clean – biggest, emotional peak)

I’m standing in the void tonight
But I refuse to fade
I’ll build a fire in her name
From every scar I’ve made

I’ll be the man I needed then
The proof that pain can bend
I’m standing in the void tonight
But this is not the end

⸻

OUTRO (Clean – slow, haunting)

The dark still calls
But I remain
I am not lost
I break the chain

Aggressive modern metalcore with industrial grooves, crushing breakdowns, dark atmosphere, and venomous screamed
