Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Wake up heavy Heart like concrete dust Smile in the mirror Till the glass won’t trust me All these people Reaching for my hands But the closer that they get The more I wanna cancel plans [Pre-Chorus] I keep my distance Like a loaded gun Love in my system Still I’m set to run (yeah) [Chorus] I’m better off broken Better off alone If I don’t let you in I can’t drag you through my storm I’ll swallow every scream So you don’t feel this pain I’ll be the one that’s fading You never have to change [Verse 2] Laugh at parties But the lights feel wrong Words taste plastic So I bite my tongue too long You say I’m worth it Say you see me clear But if you knew what I think You’d be thankful I’m not near [Pre-Chorus] I keep my distance ‘Cause I know the cost Every time I’m needed Someone else gets lost (hey) [Chorus] I’m better off broken Better off alone If I don’t let you in I can’t drag you through my storm I’ll swallow every scream So you don’t feel this pain I’ll be the one that’s fading You never have to change [Bridge] Happiness hurts When it’s hanging by a thread Every good day Wakes the voices in my head I’m not your cure I’m just chaos in a frame So I’ll tear out my pages To keep you safe from my name (yeah) [Chorus] I’m better off broken Better off alone If I don’t let you in I can’t drag you through my storm I’ll carry all the guilt So you don’t feel this weight I’ll disappear in shadows And call it keeping you safe [Outro] Better off broken That’s what I tell myself If hurting me can save you I’ll ruin my own health

Dry, punchy drums with sharp snare; bass grinds alongside the riff. Sparse verse guitars leave space for intimate lines; choruses stack shouted gang vocals on the hook. Brief dissonant bridge builds to a final, cathartic breakdown., nu metal
