(Music Intro: A wall of glitched-out 808 bass hits, stuttering like a dying machine. A heavily distorted, down-tuned guitar riff fades in, slow and menacing.)
(Verse 1)
(Aggressive, rhythmic rap, vocals slightly distorted)
Another sunrise, STATIC, another day of RAIN
Another mask to wear to hide the burning PAIN
They see a smile, they hear a joke, it's all a vicious lie
While inside this hollow shell, a part of me has DIED
Invisible, unloved, a ghost inside the machine
Feeding on the laughter, keeping the wounds unseen
Afraid of God, afraid of silence, afraid of what's in my head
So I ran to different arms, shared a different broken bed!
(Pre-Chorus)
(Beat glitches harder, a siren-like synth whines. Vocals get more frantic.)
He found me in the wreckage, in the corner of my dread
Promised me a kingdom, put a crown upon my head
Said, "The pain you feel is power, let the hatred be your guide."
So I shook his hand, the devil's son, with nothing left inside!
(Chorus)
(EXPLOSION of sound. Brutal, chugging guitars and crashing drums. The 808 is a distorted roar. Vocals are a raw, guttural SCREAM.)
SOMEONE OUT THERE LOVES YOU!
IT'S NOT ME!
A HOLLOW, BROKEN ECHO IN THE MISERY!
I TOOK THE HAND OF DARKNESS!
LET HIM PULL THE STRINGS!
NOW ALL I FEEL IS HATE AND THE SUFFERING IT BRINGS!
(Bridge / Breakdown)
(Music cuts abruptly to a distorted, clean guitar melody buried under static and a low 808 thrum. Vocals are a pained, half-whispered cry.)
But in the noise... I saw a path... waiting there for me...
Buried underneath the wreckage... of who I used to be...
This new breath... it hurts to take... this ease feels like a lie...
Don't know how to live with hope... when all I learned was how to die...
(Guitar Solo / Breakdown)
(A chaotic, technical, and brutal guitar solo erupts over violent drums and glitchy 808s, representing the internal war.)
(Outro)
(Music swells, guitars holding a powerful, dissonant chord. Vocals start as a raw scream and end with ragged power.)
[SCREAM]
I HEAR A WHISPER IN THE STATIC!
[SCREAM]
"I'VE BEEN HERE FOR ALL WHO BELIEVE!"
[Guttural, exhausted voice over the noise]
I'm standing on the precipice... of everything I've lost...
But this breath of life is MINE now... no matter what the cost!
I'm here... I'm breathing...
[Music cuts to a single, fading, glitchy 808 pulse that slows to a stop.]
