[INTRO, spoken / filtered / dark pad]
[Heartbeat, low bass rumble, distorted breathing]
[Spoken, whispered, layered, glitchy]
War in my head…
Voices in red…
Demons don’t sleep…
They live in my bed…
[Riser building]
[BUILD 1, fast rap – minimal beat]
[Rap, double-time, aggressive]
Mind like a riot, silence is violent
Thoughts get loud when the world goes quiet
Pressure in my chest, got pain inside it
Smile on my face but the soul stays private
Friends turn fake, love gets traded
Trust get broken, hope gets raided
Every damn night I fight these phases
Dark thoughts talk in different languages
I been drowning in noise, I been lost in the static
Heart so cold but my blood still manic
Demons got names and they all spell panic
Brain like a cage and I’m stuck inside it
[PRE-DROP, half-time, tension]
[Beat strips back — sub bass, pulse]
War in my head —
War in my head —
War in my—
[DROP 1, FULL EDM IMPACT]
WAR IN MY HEAD BUT I’M STILL BREATHING
STILL STANDING, STILL BLEEDING
TURN THE PAIN INTO BASS — LET IT SHAKE THE CEILING
WAR IN MY HEAD BUT I’M NOT BROKEN
HEART STILL LOUD, STILL OPEN
TURN THE FEAR INTO FIRE — NOW THE CROWD’S EXPLODING
[Heavy bass, rave stabs, sidechain]
[VERSE 2, fast rap – full beat driving]
I don’t sleep, I spiral
Brain on fire like vinyl
Past keep calling my iPhone
Trauma got me on silent
PTSD in the rhythm
Every scar got a system
Every fear got a vision
Every tear got a prison
Mama told me “pray more”
World told me “break more”
Life tried to chain me
Pain tried to claim me
Drugs tried to save me
Love tried to cage me
Death tried to date me
God never failed me
I been low, I been high
I been dead, I been alive
I been wrong, I been right
I still stand when I fight
[BREAKDOWN, dark, cinematic]
[Beat drops out – choir pad, low drone]
[Spoken Bible Verse (deep voice / echo / reverb]
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear,
but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
[Silence for half a second]
[Whispered]
Power.
Love.
Sound mind.
[DROP 2, HARDER / FASTER]
WAR IN MY HEAD — BUT I’M STILL BREATHING
BASS HIT HARD — NOW THE CROWD’S SEIZING
TURN THE PAIN INTO RAGE — THIS AIN’T HEALING
THIS IS SURVIVAL — THIS IS REASON
THIS IS WAR — NOT A SEASON
THIS IS LIFE — NOT A DEMON
[Kick harder, bass more distorted, triplet fills]
[RAP BRIDGE, machine-gun flow]
Pain in my veins, blood in the beat
Heart in a cage, soul on the street
Mind in a warzone, faith on repeat
God in my bones, death in my teeth
I don’t run, I reload
I don’t hide, I explode
I don’t break, I evolve
I don’t fall, I revolt
[BUILD]
Say it —
WAR!
(WAR!)
IN!
(IN!)
MY!
(MY!)
HEAD!
(HEAD!)
[Riser, snare rolls, white noise]
[FINAL DROP, MAXIMUM ENERGY]
WAR IN MY HEAD BUT I’M STILL BREATHING
HEART STILL LOUD — STILL REASON
TURN THE PAIN INTO POWER — CROWD’S SCREAMING
NO MORE FEAR— NO MORE KNEELING
NO MORE CHAINS — NO MORE FEELING
JUST THE BASS — AND MY HEALING
[Festival-level drop, chaos]
[OUTRO, emotional, stripped]
[Piano, pad]
War in my head…
But I’m still here
