[Intro – soft, eerie whispers]
[Instrumental]
(Yeah…)
I’ve been numb for days
No thrill, no taste
Everything gray
Same mask, new face
---
[Verse 1]
I wake up, stare at the ceiling
Same four walls, no meaning
Scroll through lies, keep dreaming
But nothing’s real, just fleeting
I fake a laugh in the mirror
Talk to ghosts in my speaker
Every high feels cheaper
The silence is getting deeper
---
[Pre-Chorus – half-sung, tense build-up]
I tried, I tried, I tried to care
But every word just fills the air
Another clone in this machine
All these colors washed out clean
---
[Chorus – SCREAMED/LOUD]
It’s basic!
Fake smile, same tricks — yeah, I hate it
Run in circles, never make it
Burn it down, can’t save it
It’s basic!
Every word feels overplayed
Every night just ends the same
No thrill left in the chase —
It’s basic!
---
[Verse 2]
They sell the dream in grayscale
But I see the glitch in detail
The light is cold, the love is frail
And every truth’s a hollow tale
I bite my tongue 'til it bleeds
To match the lies that they feed
No fire, just smoke and speed
I’m choking on what I don’t need
---
[Pre-Chorus – rising again]
I’m sick of static in my veins
Sick of playing in their games
This world’s a song stuck on repeat
And I forgot what it means
---
[Chorus – EVEN LOUDER]
It’s basic!
Same script, new faces — just fake it
Hearts on mute, can’t take it
Glass dreams, I break it
It’s basic!
Chasing highs that never stay
Fade to black, another day
I scream but fade away —
It’s basic!
[Bass guitar solo – haunting, sparse, ritualistic instrumental]
[Sharp, percussive plucks with space between notes, reverbed and echoing, building tension and dark atmosphere]
(I’m fading…)
(It’s all a lie…)
(Don’t look back…)
---
[Bridge – whispered, crumbling voice]
And maybe it’s me...
Maybe I’m the glitch they hide
Maybe I’m not meant to feel
Just to survive
Maybe the world was never deep
Just painted noise we call belief
But I can’t stay asleep —
---
[Final Chorus – distorted, half-sung half-screamed]
It’s basic!
No more chains, no more fakin’
Crack the screen, I’m breakin’
This time, I won’t take it
It’s basic!
If this is life, I’ll rewrite fate
No more lines I didn’t make
Let it burn, let it fade —
It’s basic!
(It’s basic…)
(It’s basic…)
