[Verse 1 – female clean vocals]
I've been drowning in the static,
lost between the calm and manic.
Every whisper in my mind
tries to pull me out of line.
I kept my voice behind the walls,
too scared to speak, afraid to fall.
But silence never saved my skin —
it only let the dark begin.
---
[Pre-Chorus – clean, rising]
I’m done with hiding in my head…
I’ll burn the words I never said.
---
[Chorus – big, emotional, melodic]
Tear down the echoes — I’m learning to breathe,
and every scar I carry is a vow to be free.
I’m louder than the fear I used to obey…
I won’t fade — not today.
---
[Verse 2 – male screams, modern post-hardcore aggression]
I felt the weight,
the pressure breaking every part of me —
the voices twisting truth
until I couldn’t fucking see.
You said be strong,
but never saw me dying slow —
I fought the battles
you would never even know.
I clawed my way through every lie you fed,
I carried worlds that made me wish I fled.
But even pieces can learn how to rise —
I’m not afraid of my own mind.
---
[Pre-Chorus – dual vocals]
No more silence…
I’ll shatter every lie inside this violence.
---
[Chorus – größer, intensiver]
Tear down the echoes — I’m learning to breathe,
and every scar I carry is a vow to be free.
I’m louder than the fear I used to obey…
I won’t fade — not today.

[Solo – melodic metalcore guitar solo, no vocals, schnelle Slides und moderne Runs, Lead-Linie steigt hoch, Sustain-Ton bricht plötzlich ab, Kick-Roll + Synth-Drop, MALE SCREAM (Übergang):
“ENOUGH—!”]
---
[Breakdown – Explosion direkt nach dem Solo]
I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF BEING BROKEN BY MY FEAR!
I’LL TEAR THE SHADOWS OUT OF ME — I’M SHIFTING GEARS!
TELL ME WHO I’D BE
IF I LET FEAR WIN!
TELL ME WHAT’S LEFT
IF I NEVER BREAK IN!
I WON’T BE A SHADOW!
I WON’T BE A SOUND!
I’LL BE THE THUNDER
THAT SHAKES THE GROUND!
---
[Final Chorus – female cleans + male scream harmonies]
Tear down the echoes — I’m breaking away!
I won’t be the ghost that I was yesterday!
I’m done with the shadows controlling my sight —
I’m taking back the fire they tried to steal from my life!
Tear down the echoes — I’m learning to breathe,
and every scar I carry is a vow to be free.
I’m louder than the fear I used to obey…
I won’t fade —
not today.
