[Verse 1 — clean vocals over atmospheric guitars + heavy rhythm]
[Ambient guitar pads, chugging palm-muted rhythm, subtle synths]
We’re burning in a sky that doesn’t give a fuck,
Drowning in streets that never give a shit back.
Every goddamn promise feels like a lie,
Every heartbeat just another way to die.
I see your hands shaking, and I feel the same,
Fighting a world designed to fuck with our brains.
If we crash, at least we crash together,
Because nothing here is built to last forever.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus — building tension • heavier drums + atmospheric synths]
[Syncopated drums, subtle synth swells, clean vocals]
Every second drags like a loaded gun,
We’re too alive, too tired, and too young.
⸻
[Chorus — soaring melodic + heavy guitars]
[Layered clean and screamed vocals, distorted guitars, synth pads, big drums]
This world was never made for us,
Shit’s burning down and I don’t give a fuck.
Hold me close while it all falls apart,
We’re screaming our lungs into the dark.
We’re not staying, we’re not safe,
Two broken kids in a goddamn cage.
If it kills us, at least we tried,
Because we were never meant to hide.
⸻
[Verse 2 — aggressive guitars + melodic vocals]
[Palm-muted chug riffs, melodic guitar leads, punchy drums]
Ash in our hair, scars on our skin,
Every day here’s a battle we’ll never win.
But I’m not leaving, not without you,
Even if this world is a pit we fall into.
Screaming at the sky with our fists in the air,
Because nothing here ever seemed fair.
So fuck it all, let the chaos reign,
I’d rather burn alive than feel this pain alone again.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus — rising intensity • guitars and drums syncopated]
[Syncopated drums, layered synths, clean vocal harmony]
Every second drags like a loaded gun,
We’re too alive, too tired, and too young.
⸻
[Chorus — full power, melodic + screamed underlay]
[Layered screams, soaring clean vocals, heavy distorted guitars, big drums]
This world was never made for us,
Shit’s burning down and I don’t give a fuck.
Hold me close while it all falls apart,
We’re screaming our lungs into the dark.
We’re not staying, we’re not safe,
Two broken kids in a goddamn cage.
If it kills us, at least we tried,
Because we were never meant to hide.
⸻
[Bridge — heavy Architects-style breakdown • full-on screams + polyrhythmic drums]
[Screamed vocals, chugging riffs, polyrhythmic drums, ambient synth layers]
(Screamed)
I’M TIRED OF PRETENDING WE BELONG!
EVERY SECOND HERE FEELS SO GODDAMN WRONG!
(Clean overlay)
But in your arms, I find my place,
Even if the world’s a hollow space.
⸻
[Final Chorus — anthemic + cinematic]
[Soaring clean vocals, background screams, layered guitars, synths, cinematic drums]
This world was never made for us,
Shit’s burning down and I don’t give a fuck.
Hold me close while it all falls apart,
We’re screaming our lungs into the dark.
We’re not staying, we’re not safe,
Two broken kids in a goddamn cage.
If it kills us, at least we tried,
Because we were never meant to hide
