Let Me In

[Intro | Clean swells | whisper]
I hear you breaking… even when you don’t speak…

⸻

[Verse 1 | low, steady]
You hide the weight behind your eyes
Say you’re fine, but it’s all lies
I see the cracks you try to mask
Feel every breath you fight to grasp

You shut me out, you pull away
Like I won’t stay, like I won’t stay
But I’m still here, I’m not gone
Even when you think you’re too far gone

⸻

[Pre-Chorus | build]
Stop running from the truth
You don’t have to do this alone
I’m reaching out to you…

⸻

[Chorus | melodic grit]
Let me in, stop pushing me away
I’m not leaving, I’m here to stay
Through the dark, through the weight
Through every single breath you hate

When you can’t stand, I’ll hold your ground
When you’re lost, I’ll be your sound
You say you’re done, you’re giving in
But I won’t let you disappear—so let me in

⸻

[Verse 2 | heavier | screams layered]
(mid scream)
I hear the war inside your head
Every word you wish was dead

(low scream)
Every demon dragging you down
I’ll stand my ground, I won’t back down

(half-sung)
You think you’re drowning in the deep
But I’m the one who won’t let you sink
You feel the pull to fade away
I’m the voice begging you to stay

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re hanging by a thread
But I’ve got both your hands
I’m not letting go…

⸻

[Chorus]
Let me in, stop pushing me away
I’m not leaving, I’m here to stay
Through the dark, through the weight
Through every single breath you hate

When you can’t stand, I’ll hold your ground
When you’re lost, I’ll be your sound
You say you’re done, you’re giving in
But I won’t let you disappear—so let me in

⸻

[Breakdown | half-time chugs]
(high scream)
I WON’T WATCH YOU FADE
I WON’T LET YOU BREAK

(low guttural)
YOU’RE NOT A LOST CAUSE—NOT A MISTAKE

(call/response)
—PUSH ME AWAY!
—I’M STAYING HERE!
—LEAVE ME ALONE!
—I WON’T DISAPPEAR!

(chugs)
Take my hand, don’t slip again
You don’t have to fight alone—LET ME IN

⸻

[Bridge | clean | heartbeat returns]
I’ll sit with every scar you hide
Every storm you keep inside
The good, the bad—I want it all
I’ll catch you every time you fall

You don’t have to be okay
You don’t have to face this pain alone…

⸻

[Final Chorus | anthemic]
Let me in, I’m breaking down your walls
I’ll be there when the darkness calls
Through the nights you can’t survive
I’ll remind you you’re alive

When you can’t breathe, I’ll be your air
When you’re too weak, I’ll still be there
You say you’re done, you’re giving in
But I won’t let you disappear—so let me in

⸻

[Outro | feedback + fading heartbeat]
(soft)
I’m still here…
I’m not going anywhere…
