Out of My Head (But Not My Heart)

[Start with music: 6-second distorted guitar intro, gritty alt-metal riff, light feedback, no vocals]  

[Background whisper]
Out… of… my head…

[SCREAM] GET OUT OF MY HEAD!  

[Verse 1 - loud, intense]  
You were never what I needed  
Just a habit I repeated  
Every warning, every sign  
Still I let you waste my time  

You never held me, never stayed  
Just a mess I let you make  
Should’ve cut you from the start  
Now you’re buried in my heart  

[Pre-Chorus - building tension, scream underlay]  
I don’t want you, that’s the truth  
So why can’t I get rid of you?  

[Chorus - loud, aggressive]  
Out of my head—but not my heart  
I tear you out, you fall apart  
You were never even mine  
Just a thief of all my time  

Out of my head—I’m done with you  
But my chest won’t tell the truth  
I let go, I play the part  
Out of my head—but not my heart  

[Verse 2 - punchy, biting]  
You were nothing I could keep  
Still you’re crawling in my sleep  
Every word you never meant  
Still stuck under my skin  

I moved on, I changed my pace  
Different love, a different place  
But no matter where I start  
You’re the echo in the dark  

[Pre-Chorus - louder, screaming underlay]  
I shut the door, I locked it tight  
But you keep slipping through my mind  

[Chorus - full power, scream emphasis]  
Out of my head—but not my heart  
I tear you out, you fall apart  
You were never even mine  
Just a thief of all my time  

Out of my head—I’m done with you  
But my chest won’t tell the truth  
I let go, I play the part  
Out of my head—but not my heart  

[Bridge - whisper → scream]  
(soft)  
You don’t get to live in me  
Not after everything  

(building)  
You were nothing… nothing real  

[SCREAM!] SO WHY DO I STILL FEEL!?

[Final Chorus - maximum intensity]  
Out of my head—but not my heart  
You don’t deserve to leave a mark  
You were never even mine  
Just a waste of breath and time  

Out of my head—get out, get gone  
Should’ve known it all along  
I’m moving on, I made my start  
Out of my head—but not my heart  

[Outro - loud, lingering]  
Out of my head…  
…just not my heart
