(Verse 1)
Another day, another fight, another soul to steal
The victory's a bitter taste, the wound is slow to heal
The faces in the crowd are screaming for a show
They don't see the price I've paid, they don't see how I go
(Pre-Chorus)
The gears are turning, mind is burning,
Pressure on my bones
Every step is heavy now, it's breaking through the stones
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm still playing the game, but it's a different sound
It's the constant, maddening beat that echoes all around
The game is now a grind, a never-ending push
Another morning, breathing in the cold and lonely hush
I'm still locked inside, I can't escape the wall
The rules are broken, but I'll still stand tall
(Verse 2)
The challengers are at the door, they wanna take my place
They think they know the power, they think they've got the grace
They don't see the scars I hide, the shadows in my eyes
They only see the win, they only hear the lies
(Pre-Chorus)
The gears are turning, mind is burning,
Pressure on my bones
Every step is heavy now, it's breaking through the stones
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm still playing the game, but it's a different sound
It's the constant, maddening beat that echoes all around
The game is now a grind, a never-ending push
Another morning, breathing in the cold and lonely hush
I'm still locked inside, I can't escape the wall
The rules are broken, but I'll still stand tall
(Bridge)
My knuckles white, my jaw is set, I'll never give it up
I'll drain this cup of bitter pain, I'll drink the last drop up
This isn't for the glory, this isn't for the fame
This is just for survival, just to keep my name
(Guitar Solo - Fast, melodic, and aggressive, echoing the style of Disturbed)
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm still playing the game, but it's a different sound
It's the constant, maddening beat that echoes all around
The game is now a grind, a never-ending push
Another morning, breathing in the cold and lonely hush
I'm still locked inside, I can't escape the wall
The rules are broken, but I'll still stand tall
(Outro)
The Grind...
The Grind...
(Sound of heavy, ragged breathing as the music fades out with a final, distorted chord)
