[Intro]
[Low, clean-ish spoken or whispered over atmospheric guitars building tension]
I wear this mask so well
You'd never guess the hell
[Verse 1]
[Harsh vocals, mid-tempo chug]
[male]
Every morning I rehearse the lie
"Good, I'm fine" with dead eyes
Razor thoughts carve up my mind
But my hands shake too much to draw the line
Coward in the mirror stares back
Wants release but can't make the pact
So I swallow the scream, force the grin
Let the bleeding stay deep within
[Pre-Chorus]
[Building, half-screamed]
[female vocal]
Too weak to pull the trigger
Too broken to get better
Trapped in this endless December
[Chorus]
[Big melodic metalcore chorus—clean vocals with harsh backing]
I'll smile through the rope around my neck
Laugh while the darkness takes another breath
No one sees the war behind these teeth
I'll suffer in silence till the silence buries me
[riff]
[Male Vocal]
[Verse 2]
[Faster, more aggressive]
Pills on the table call my name
But I turn away—still playing the game
Friends ask "You good?" I nod and lie
Dying slow so no one has to cry
The weight gets heavier every day
But I carry it alone anyway
'Cause reaching out feels worse than death
Admitting I'm this hollow, empty mess
[Breakdown]
[Crushing, slow, blegh-heavy]
I HATE THIS FACE I FAKE EVERY DAY! *(blegh)*
WANT TO END IT BUT I STAY! *(blegh)*
TRAPPED IN MY SKIN, NO ESCAPE! *(blegh)*
SUFFER IN SILENCE—MY GRAVE!

[Bridge]
[Clean vocals, atmospheric, almost defeated]
[male vocal]
Maybe tomorrow I'll find the strength
[female vocal]
To fight or to finish—either way ends
[male vocal]
But tonight I'll just fake it again
[female vocal + male vocal]
Smile for the world, bleed for myself
[Final Chorus]
[Full band, even bigger]
[female vocal]
I'll smile through the rope around my neck
Laugh while the darkness takes another breath
If I make it to morning, I'll do it again
Suffer in silence... until the end
[Outro]
[Fading harsh whisper]
[Male Vocal]
[Female Vocal]
I'm still here...
For now...
