[Intro – whispered, ambient hum, distant heartbeat]
I thought I saw the light…
But it flickered,
And it bled away.
The quiet broke me before I even knew it…
And the shadow laughed.
[Verse 1 – soft, tense, haunted]
A moment of peace…
Slipped through my fingers like smoke.
I reached for it, tried to hold it,
But my hands were tied by all the pain I’ve stoked.
The world felt still, just for a breath…
Then chaos crashed back in.
Every promise I made…
Every lie I swallowed…
They come back to me now, louder than before.
[Pre-Chorus – building tension]
I tried to be whole.
I tried to be real.
But the cracks ran deeper than I could feel.
Every heartbeat reminds me…
I am fractured.
I am haunted.
I am… interrupted.
[Chorus – heavy, layered, raw]
The devil strikes between the silence and sound,
Pulls me down, won’t let me stand my ground.
I find a second of clarity…
But it slips, it breaks, it’s gone.
I’m caught between who I am and what I fear,
The devil’s whisper loud, yet only I can hear.
Interrupted… always interrupted…
I try to scream but I’m muffled, corrupted.
[Verse 2 – darker, urgent, internal struggle]
Shadows move with every blink,
Mock me softly, then disappear.
The mirror shows me someone I almost trusted,
Someone I can’t recognize.
My thoughts fracture faster than I can follow,
Each one a dagger in the hollow of my mind.
I stumble, I falter, I fall into the void,
Only to find the devil waiting… patient, poised, annoyed.
[Bridge – whispered / spoken over ambient chaos]
I am almost free…
I am almost clear…
But almost isn’t enough…
Every pause is a trap…
Every breath, a battlefield…
I am the war…
I am the wound…
I am… interrupted.
[Chorus 2 – heavier, almost screaming]
The devil strikes between the silence and sound,
Pulls me down, won’t let me stand my ground.
I find a second of clarity…
But it slips, it breaks, it’s gone.
I’m caught between who I am and what I fear,
The devil’s whisper loud, yet only I can hear.
Interrupted… always interrupted…
I try to scream but I’m muffled, corrupted.
[Outro – fading piano, whispers, echo]
And when the silence returns,
I feel the devil watch me still…
Waiting…
Knowing…
That my peace was never mine.
