[Intro – Faint ambient chords, low heartbeat-like bass]
[Whispered or distorted normal vocals in the background]
“You don't understand my pain… If you did.. you would've helped a long time ago..-”
[Reverb builds like an empty room]
---
[Verse 1 – Emo Rap / half-spoken, detached tone]
Woke up, same ceiling, new weight
Coffee cold, feel nothin’ on my plate
Mirror shows me movin’, but I swear I ain’t
Just shadows in skin wearin’ my name
Saw a man die, couldn’t cry
Watched her leave, didn’t even ask why
Bills stack up, and the clock don’t pause
I smile on cue like I forgot the cost
---
[Pre-Chorus – Softly sung or harmonized R&B style]
I fake a laugh, say "I’m okay"
But all my colors washed away
I'm tired of living a life of lies
So go ahead and look into my eyes
---
[Chorus – Full ambient R&B / falsetto layer over slow Dark Rock chords]
I'm livin’ in a body that lies
Breathin’ but it don’t feel right
Walkin’ but I’m not inside
Numb from the tears I dried
Hurt, but I don’t even cry
A ghost in my own life
But if you really want to try
Then look in my cold, Dead Eyes
---
[Verse 2 – Rap, slow and heavy delivery]
Pressure at work, pressure at home
Screens full of death, but I scroll alone
Talk about healing, but the pain’s on loop
Say "take a break"—can’t afford the truth
Heartbreaks, funerals, silent nights
Smiles at dinners, panic at lights
School stress, rent due, dad got sick
No therapy, just music and a bottle to pick
---
[Emotional Dark Rock Instrumental Break]
---
[Bridge – Stripped vocals over ambient pads or reversed keys]
Every “I’m fine” feels like a sin
Every hug I fake burns my skin
If there’s a God, I hope He sees
The light is gone, but I still breathe
---
[Chorus – Repeat with layered emotion / slightly more intense vocal push]
I'm livin’ in a body that lies
Breathin’ but it don't feel right
Walkin’ but I’m not inside
Numb from the tears I dried
Hurt, but I don’t even cry
A ghost in my own life
But if you really want to try
Then look in my cold, Dead Eyes
---
[Outro – Quiet, fade out with Instrumental fade]
[Whispered]
I don’t want to feel gone…
But so much just feels wrong.
Feels like my life's a lie
So I keep my cold, Dead Eyes
[Fading into Silence]
