My life

Verse 1
They dragged me where the ceiling drips
And shadows twitch along the bricks
A room that smelled like iron and rain
And something older than my pain

The door screamed shut like it was glad
Another soul had finally cracked
The light above me swung and swayed
Like it was counting breaths I made

I scratched the days into the wall
But time refused to move at all
My voice dissolved inside my throat
A broken, useless antidote

Pre-Chorus
And in the silence
Something listened
Not to save me—
Just to witness.

Chorus
They broke my ribs to hear the sound
Of hope collapsing underground
They watched my shadow lose its shape
And waited for the mind to break

They thought the dark would finish me
Turn breath to dust and memory
But something ancient in my chest
Refused to join the quiet rest

So while they slept above the floor
Something else began to grow
A colder pulse behind my eyes
A thing they’ll never recognize

Verse 2
The dark began to breathe with me
It spoke in quiet agony
It told me pain can sharpen bones
And make a kingdom out of stones

I saw the faces in the wall
The ones who didn’t leave at all
Their whispers crawling through the cracks
Warning me not to turn my back

My heartbeat slowed, then changed its tone
Like it was building something new
A rhythm deeper than a scream
A drum the living never knew

Pre-Chorus
And every hour
Something faded
Not my breathing—
Something sacred.

Chorus
They broke my ribs to hear the sound
Of hope collapsing underground
They watched my shadow start to fade
Believing I was slowly erased

But buried under skin and bone
A darker seed had slowly grown
And every tear and shattered plea
Was feeding what was left of me

So while they slept above the floor
Dreaming I was almost gone
The silence built a sharper soul
One carved from endless dark alone

Bridge (almost whispered)
The room began to watch me back
The corners breathing slow and black
I swear the dark began to grin
When it felt the change within

My bones felt colder than the grave
But stronger than the chains they gave
And something standing in my chest
Was no longer scared of death

Final Chorus
They came one night to check the cage
Expecting dust… or empty rage
But when the door began to slide
Something else stood up inside

Not the boy who begged for air
Not the voice that used to care
But something quiet, something still
Something sharpened into will

They buried someone in that room
Someone soft and full of light

But what walked out behind their backs…

Had learned to love the night. 🖤

Heavy bass and really haunting
