[Intro – whispered, over strings + distant guitar]
“Cut me open, I’m bleeding inside…”
“This is my last confession tonight.”
⸻
[Verse 1 – fast, half-rap]
I’m trapped in a cycle, drowning in shame,
Every mistake still knows my name.
Tears in my veins, fire in my chest,
I’m alive on the surface, but I’m not at my best.
Walls close in, can’t breathe, can’t speak,
Suffocating silence every time that I sleep.
People tell me “hold on,” but they don’t know the cost,
I’m a king without a crown, I was born to be lost.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – screamed/angry]
I can’t escape the weight of my mind,
Every scar is a clock counting time!
⸻
[Chorus – soaring, FIR style]
This is my last resort, I’m breaking apart,
Stitches can’t hold this hole in my heart.
Screaming for mercy, but silence replies,
Living feels like I’m waiting to die.
⸻
[Verse 2 – aggressive rap, heavy guitars]
Knife in my thoughts, gun to my head,
I’m alive in the day but at night I’m dead.
Lost in the noise, no one hears me cry,
I’m a shadow of a man with a tear-stained sky.
Hope is a drug and I’m out of supply,
Tried to climb out but the rope’s cut dry.
Every breath that I take feels borrowed and thin,
I’m at war with a demon I can’t seem to win.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – screamed]
Don’t tell me it gets better with time,
I’m still broken, still trapped in my mind!
⸻
[Chorus – soaring, layered vocals]
This is my last resort, I’m breaking apart,
Stitches can’t hold this hole in my heart.
Screaming for mercy, but silence replies,
Living feels like I’m waiting to die.
⸻
[Bridge – breakdown, strings + heavy drop]
(Whisper) “Would you even notice if I disappeared?”
(Scream) “I’m still bleeding, still stuck here!”
(Whisper) “Would you even care if I lost it all?”
(Scream) “I’m still falling, still waiting to fall!”
⸻
[Final Chorus – explosive, like FIR climax]
This is my last resort, I’m breaking apart,
Nothing can fix this hole in my heart.
Screaming for mercy, no savior arrives,
Living feels like I’m barely alive.
⸻
[Outro – quiet piano + strings]
“Cut me open, I’m bleeding inside…”
“This is my last confession tonight.”
