Verse 1 (soft, melodic – almost whispered)
I hear the quiet pulling me under,
Every thought’s like a rolling thunder.
I smile but the cracks start showing,
Inside, the storm keeps growing.
Pre-Chorus (building tension)
Can’t escape the weight I hide,
Every tear’s a war inside.
I’m reaching out, I’m trying to breathe,
But the shadows won’t let me leave.
Chorus (soaring, Falling in Reverse style)
🎶 These shadows on repeat, they’re louder than my scream,
Breaking all my dreams apart at the seams.
But I won’t let go, I’m still standing tall,
Even if the voices try to watch me fall.
Yeah, I’m breaking free —
These shadows won’t define me! 🎶
Verse 2 (gentle melody, then rising)
I paint a smile so no one can see,
The battles burning deep inside of me.
I’m fragile, but I won’t surrender,
There’s fire in the pain I remember.
Pre-Chorus (building again)
Every scar is a mark of the fight,
A reminder I made it through the night.
I’m reaching out, I’m trying to breathe,
But the shadows won’t let me leave.
Chorus (soaring, big and anthemic)
🎶 These shadows on repeat, they’re louder than my scream,
Breaking all my dreams apart at the seams.
But I won’t let go, I’m still standing tall,
Even if the voices try to watch me fall.
Yeah, I’m breaking free —
These shadows won’t define me! 🎶
Bridge (soft → explodes)
(Soft, falsetto)
Whispers… pulling me down again,
But I won’t let them win…
(Explosive)
I’M STRONGER THAN THE CHAOS,
LOUDER THAN THE LIES,
I’LL BURN THROUGH THE DARKNESS,
TILL THE LIGHT SURVIVES!
Final Chorus (bigger than before, layered vocals)
🎶 These shadows on repeat, they’re louder than my scream,
But I’ll turn the silence into my release.
I won’t let go, I’m still standing tall,
Even if the voices try to watch me fall.
Yeah, I’m breaking free —
These shadows won’t define me! 🎶
Outro (soft, haunting)
Shadows fade…
But I remain.
