Intro (atmospheric, distant clean voice)
Another year carved into my bones
Another chance I didn’t ask for
But I’m still breathing
So it’s not over
Verse I (mid-tempo growls)
I’ve lived inside my head for years
Where every thought cuts twice
Anxiety learned how to speak my name
Depression slept beside my spine
I smiled through the panic
Shook through the nights
Called survival “fine”
And fear “just life”
But something shifted when the calendar burned
When the past lost its grip
I didn’t wake up fearless
I just stopped letting it decide my steps
Pre-Chorus (rising tension)
I’ve been hunted by my own reflection
But I’m done mistaking pain for prophecy
Chorus (huge, emotional aggression)
SHE’S BEEN BROKEN
SHE’S BEEN BURIED
SHE’S BEEN SHAKING IN THE DARK
BUT SHE’S STILL HERE
THIS IS THE YEAR
SHE STANDS HER GROUND
EVERY VOICE THAT SAID “YOU CAN’T”
IS FUCKING DROWNING OUT
SHE’S FOUGHT DEPRESSION
SHE LIVES WITH FEAR
BUT SHE’S NOT TURNING BACK
NOT THIS YEAR
Verse II (faster, sharper delivery)
Anxiety still breathes down my neck
Still tells me I’m not enough
But I’ve learned the difference
Between a warning and a bluff
I don’t need certainty
I don’t need calm
I just need enough strength
To move the fuck on
Every step forward feels like war
But I’ve bled here before
If this life wants to test me again—
LET IT COME KNOCKING AT MY DOOR
Pre-Chorus II
I’m not cured
I’m committed
There’s a difference
And I’m living it
Chorus
SHE’S BEEN BROKEN
SHE’S BEEN BURIED
SHE’S BEEN SHAKING IN THE DARK
BUT SHE’S STILL HERE
THIS IS THE YEAR
SHE BITES BACK
EVERY FUCKING WOUND I CARRY
PROVES I WON’T COLLAPSE
SHE’S FOUGHT DEPRESSION
SHE LIVES WITH FEAR
BUT SHE’S NOT TURNING BACK
NOT THIS YEAR
BREAKDOWN I (slow, crushing, guttural)
TRY
TO
BREAK
HER
ANXIETY LIES
DEPRESSION THREATENS
SHE’S STILL STANDING
AND SHE’S STILL STEPPING
(Slam pause)
SHE
DOESN’T
RUN
Bridge (clean vocals over eerie chords)
I don’t need to erase the past
I just need it behind me
If fear walks with me forever
Then it’s gonna learn to follow quietly
BUILD (screams layered, tension rising)
I AM NOT THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE
I AM NOT THE THOUGHTS THAT LIE AT NIGHT
I AM THE ONE WHO STAYED
WHEN EVERYTHING SAID “QUIT”
FINAL BREAKDOWN (deepest, nastiest)
NEW
YEAR
NEW
WAR
EVERY DEMON
LINE THE FUCK UP
(Slam)
SHE’S STILL HERE
SHE’S STILL HERE
SHE’S
STILL
HERE
Final Chorus (anthem-style brutality)
SHE’S BEEN BROKEN
SHE’S BEEN BURIED
BUT SHE NEVER FUCKING DIED
THIS IS THE YEAR
SHE MOVES FORWARD
WITH HER FEAR
RIGHT BY HER SIDE
SHE’S FOUGHT DEPRESSION
SHE STILL FEELS IT
BUT SHE’S NOT TURNING BACK
SHE’S NOT TURNING BACK
SHE’S NOT TURNING BACK
Outro (low, final line)
Anxiety can scream.
Depression can wait.
She’s done surviving —
Now she’s choosing to stay.
