Intro – whispered rap + eerie synths]
(NF tone, quiet but tense)
Yeah…
Every shadow’s got a flame behind it…
Every pain leaves a voice that reminds me…
(Distorted guitar stab → DROP)

[Verse 1 – NF-style freestyle rap]
I’ve been running from myself in a maze of chains,
Thoughts in my head like a hurricane.
Smile on my face, but I’m torn inside,
Depression’s a ghost I can’t push aside.
Pressure’s building, heartbeat quick,
Every scar I hide’s another brick.
They don’t see what’s under my skin,
I’m screaming inside but I play to win.
⸻
[Pre-Break – Falling in Reverse vibe, half-scream]
Ugh—
You don’t know what it’s like to bleed,
To fight a war that the world can’t see!
⸻
[Chorus – Soaring Harmony, Billie + Ariana + Kami vibes]
(Big, emotional, layered harmony)
Through the shadows, through the flames,
We’re alive, though we bear the chains.
Every voice will rise, every soul will sing,
In the chaos, love is everything.
⸻
[Verse 2 – freestyle / rap-rock hybrid]
I spit truth like bullets, let the silence crack,
Every memory’s a weight that drags me back.
People think they know, but they can’t relate,
Smile in my face while I suffocate.
Dreams on fire but I won’t let go,
Drown in the dark but I still won’t fold.
Every failure’s just fuel for the fight I’m in,
I’ve been buried alive but I breathe again.
⸻
[Bridge – Falling in Reverse breakdown, screams + harmonies]
(Kami screaming raw, Billie whispering, Ariana soaring falsetto)
Kami (scream): Burn it down, burn it down, let it all ignite!
Billie (whisper): Love is fragile…
Ariana (falsetto, soaring): …But it saves my life!
⸻
[Final Chorus – ALL TOGETHER, huge anthem]
(full harmony, rock band + cinematic strings behind)
Through the shadows, through the flames,
We’re alive, though we bear the chains.
Every voice will rise, every soul will sing,
In the chaos, love is everything.
(last line = screamed + sung together → massive impact)
⸻
[Outro – whispered rap + soft piano]
(NF tone, almost spoken, Billie whispering faint harmony)
Yeah…
Shadows don’t kill the flame.
The flame don’t die… it just changes names.
