[Intro – whispered / breathy tone]
(soft)
When the candy coating hides the razor blade...
You can cut yourself loose… and use all that rage...
(slight pause)
I wish someone told me ‘bout this darkness that never leaves…
Things normal people would never believe…
(2 beat pause – piano echo)
---
[Verse 1 – calm, heavy tone]
When I bleed… it don’t show no more
Pain got quiet… but it’s still at war
God knows I tried… to make peace with the past
But it’s hard… when the silence don’t ever pass
(slight pause)
Five years clean… still fight that ghost
Every night feels… like an overdose
I don’t wanna use… but I miss that numb
I don’t wanna die… but I can’t outrun
---
[Pre-Chorus – rising emotion, melodic]
I wish someone warned me… ‘bout this pain
How love can heal… but still leave stains
How light can flicker… faith can bend
And I still love you… until the world ends
---
[Chorus – full voice, strong but broken]
My heart… so full of scars
Still beats for you… through the dark
Even if this world… burns or bends
I’ll be with you… until the world ends
(half-beat breath)
Even if I’m breakin’… even if I pretend
I’ll be with you… until the world ends
---
[Verse 2 – rap/sing cadence, emotion rising]
Every tear I swallow… feels like sin
Tryna keep the devil… from crawlin’ in
Your name still echoes… through my veins
Like a song… I can’t untrain
(slight pause – low tone)
I been talkin’ to God… askin’ why
He gave me wings… but not the sky
If I make it through tonight… again
It’s ‘cause love ain’t dead… it just transcends
(slight rise)
The silence screams louder… than the drugs ever did
And I’m scared… of the places my thoughts have slid
You’re the calm I crave… the storm I hate
The reason I fight… and the weight I can’t shake
---
[Bridge – soft, stripped down, emotional break]
If you could hear me now… I’d beg you to stay
Don’t let our demons… have their way
Even broken wings… can still defend
What’s meant to rise… won’t ever end
---
[Final Chorus – layered, cinematic close]
My heart… so full of scars
Still beats for you… through the dark
Even if this world… burns or bends
I’ll be with you… until the world ends
(echo)
Even if I’m cryin’… even if I descend
I’ll be with you… until the world ends
---
[Outro – whispered / fading tone]
Until the world ends…
Until the world ends…
(fade out heartbeat + piano)
