spoken, slightly distorted)
It’s me… against me…
No one else in the room… just my own noise…
[VERSE 1 – ME (Pressure Voice) | heavy rhythm guitar builds]
I don’t break, I don’t bend, I don’t take a breath
Every move gotta prove I ain’t failed yet
Keep it tight, keep it right, keep it all in line
If I slip for a second then I cross the line
No mistakes, no delays, no excuses here
Just a voice in my head that I always hear
“Be perfect, be sharp, don’t lose control”
So I lock it down deep where it can’t unfold
[PRE-CHORUS – tension rising]
I feel it crawling under my skin
But I don’t let it show where I’ve been
If I fall, then I fall too far
So I wear this armor like it’s who we are
[CHORUS – full distortion, screaming edge optional]
It’s ME vs ME in this broken mind
One keeps pushing, one gets left behind
I scream in silence, I stay confined
But I’m still standing every time I try
ME vs ME, no peace inside
But I won’t let this version of me die
I break, I bleed, I still survive
I’m still here… I’m still alive
[VERSE 2 – ME (Survivor Voice) | heavier drums kick in]
I’ve been crushed, I’ve been cut, I’ve been dragged through doubt
Still I get back up when I’m running out
Every scar on me is a story I keep
Every night I barely get any sleep
But I move, I improve, even when I’m low
Even when I don’t feel like I should go
I’m not weak, I’m just worn and real
And I still got fight I refuse to steal
[PRE-CHORUS 2 – dual voices overlapping]
Pressure says “don’t fail”
Survivor says “don’t quit”
I’m stuck in the middle of all of it
[CHORUS – heavier, double kick drums]
It’s ME vs ME in this broken mind
One keeps pushing, one gets left behind
I scream in silence, I stay confined
But I’m still standing every time I try
ME vs ME, no peace inside
But I won’t let this version of me die
I break, I bleed, I still survive
I’m still here… I’m still alive
[BRIDGE – breakdown, slow heavy riffs]
(almost spoken, distorted)
I built this cage with my own hands…
But I’m learning how to break the plans…
Not everything I fear is true…
Not everything I lose is me…
[FINAL CHORUS – full metal intensity, screaming optional]
ME VS ME—I won’t back down
Even when I hit the ground
I rise again, I make no sound
But I’m still fighting, still around
ME VS ME—I feel the war
But I’m not what I was before
I’m more than pain, I’m something more
And I won’t lose me anymore
[OUTRO – fading guitars, soft voice]
It’s still me…
But not the same me…
