Where I Fade

[Intro – soft, distant, emotional singing]





I feel it crawling under my skin

Like I don’t know where to begin

Every breath just pulls me in

To a place I’ve never been








[Verse 1 – rhythmic rap, low tone, controlled]





I’m stuck in a loop, every day feels the same

Try to scream it out but I’m losing the name

Of the person I was before all this pain

Now I walk through fire just to stand in the rain



Every step that I take feels fake, feels numb

Like a beat with no bass and a silent drum

I keep searching for a place to belong

But the silence keeps telling me I’m wrong








[Pre-Chorus – rising emotion, half-sung]





I’m breaking down, I’m losing control

Every piece of me’s out of my soul








[Chorus – powerful, emotional singing]





I wanna find where I fade away

Where the shadows don’t know my name

I’m tired of fighting the same old pain

I just wanna feel okay



I wanna break what’s inside of me

All these chains I can’t even see

If I fall, will I finally be

Somewhere I belong…








[Verse 2 – aggressive rap, more intensity]





Now I’m running from thoughts that I can’t escape

Every mirror I see is a different face

Try to hold it together but it starts to break

Like a line in a song that I can’t replace



I’ve been living in doubt, living in fear

Every whisper I hear pulls me back in here

And I’m done trying hard just to disappear

But the truth is the only thing I can’t hear








[Bridge – soft start → build up, emotional]





(soft)

If I let it go… would I finally breathe?

If I lose it all… would I still be me?



(building)

I don’t know where I belong…

But I know I can’t stay here…








[Chorus – full power, layered vocals]





I wanna find where I fade away

Where the shadows don’t know my name

I’m tired of fighting the same old pain

I just wanna feel okay



I wanna break what’s inside of me

All these chains I can’t even see

If I fall, will I finally be

Somewhere I belong…








[Outro – quiet, fading, emotional]





Somewhere I belong…

(Somewhere I belong…)

I just wanna feel…

Like I’m finally home
