[Final Round – You both stand up together]
[Intro – EtherealWave257 (Male) (Emo/Rock voice) (soft, distant)]
I can feel the ropes behind me
Breathing heavy, losing ground
Fear’s got both hands around me
And it won’t let me get out
I hear the crowd but they don’t know
What it’s like inside my head
Every doubt becomes a shadow
Every hope feels almost dead
[Verse 1 – EtherealWave257]
I swung first but I’m exhausted
Every punch just hits the air
I believed I’d beat this monster
But it’s stronger than my prayer
Tell me why I keep on trying
When I’m bleeding out inside
Every time I say I’m fighting
It feels more like I’m just surviving
[Pre-Chorus – EtherealWave257]
I don’t know if I can stand
I don’t know who I am
If this is what faith looks like
Then I don’t understand
[Chorus – EtherealWave257 (fragile)]
I’m losing to the fear again
It’s got me on the ground
Every voice inside my head
Is telling me I’m done now
If I let go of the fight
Would anybody care?
Or am I just another soul
That disappeared in prayer?
[Verse 2 – ELIROBB (Male) (you enter steady, clear)]
Hey —
Look at me.
You’re not finished yet.
I’ve been where you’re standing
With my back against the wall
I’ve felt the same hands shaking
Like I’d never rise at all
You think this is the ending
But it’s only round three
Fear is loud, I get it
But it doesn’t get to keep you
[Pre-Chorus – ELIROBB]
I know the voice that says you’re done
I know the weight that makes you run
But you’re still breathing — that means something
And I’m not leaving — hear me coming
[Chorus – Dual (his fragile + your strong)]
You’re not losing to the fear tonight
Not while I’m still here
Yeah it knocks you down sometimes
But it doesn’t own your years
You don’t have to fight alone
You don’t have to prove you’re strong
If you forget who you are
I’ll remind you all night long
[Bridge – Dialogue style]
[EtherealWave257 (breaking):]
What if I’m too far gone?
[ELIROBB:]
You’re not.
[EtherealWave257:]
What if I don’t belong?
[ELIROBB:]
You do.
[EtherealWave257:]
What if I lose again?
[ELIROBB (strong):]
Then we stand up again.
[Final Chorus – Huge, cinematic]
We’re not losing to the fear tonight
It doesn’t get the crown
It can scream inside our heads
But it won’t take us down
We’ve been bruised and we’ve been cracked
But we’re still breathing air
And even when we’re trembling
We’re still standing there
[Outro – Soft, unified]
If you fall, I’m in your corner
If I break, you’re in mine
We don’t win by being fearless
We win by getting up each time
