[Intro — PULSING / DARK GROOVE]
(slow heartbeat, distorted synth)
They said, “Just one more time.”
⸻
[Verse 1 — CLEAN / TIRED / HAUNTED]
I’m running on empty in a burning room
Every breath feels like a borrowed wound
I smile like I’m fine but I’m fading out
I built them a throne with my self-doubt
They drink my silence, they drink my sleep
They feast on every promise I keep
I stitched my hope into their hands
Now I’m a ghost in a sinking land
⸻
[Pre-Chorus — RISING / FRAYING]
I gave them my nights
I gave them my days
I gave them my soul
And they wanted the pain
⸻
[Chorus — HUGE / CLEAN + GROWL]
I’m feeding the flame
With pieces of me
I’m losing my name
Just trying to keep the peace
I’m feeding the flame
Till there’s nothing left
I’m choking on smoke
From a fire in my chest
⸻
[Verse 2 — HEAVIER]
They said, “You’re needed, don’t walk away.”
Then watched me crumble, day by day
They dressed my wounds in holy lies
And sold my fear as paradise
Every time I tried to rest my head
Their voices screamed inside my bed
I don’t remember who I was
Before I learned to self-destruct
⸻
[Pre-Chorus 2 — GROWL LAYER]
I gave them my strength
I gave them my spine
I gave them my blood
They wanted my mind
⸻
[Chorus — EXPANDED]
I’m feeding the flame
With pieces of me
I’m losing my name
Just trying to keep the peace
I’m feeding the flame
Till there’s nothing left
I’m choking on smoke
From a fire in my chest
⸻
[Breakdown — SLOW / CRUSHING]
(GUTTURAL)
TAKE IT
TAKE ME
TAKE EVERYTHING
I AM THE FUEL
YOU ARE THE KING
⸻
[Bridge — CLEAN / CRACKING]
I don’t feel real
I don’t feel whole
I don’t feel anything anymore
⸻
[Final Chorus — MASSIVE]
I’m feeding the flame
With pieces of me
I’m losing my name
Just trying to keep the peace
I’m feeding the flame
Till there’s nothing left
I’m choking on smoke
From a fire in my chest
⸻
[Outro — WHISPER]
(barely audible)
I don’t know how much of me is left.
