Wires and Wounds

[Verse 1 — Whispered grit]

Static in my head like a parasite
Body’s still breathing but the brain ain’t right
Every thought feels sharp like shattered glass
I scratch at the scars but the pain won’t pass

I swallowed too much of the world tonight
Now I’m choking on memories that never felt right
I walk on broken circuits and worn-out nerves
Lost track of what I deserve

⸻

[Hook — Broken machine feel]

I ain’t dead… but I ain’t alive
Just a glitch pretending to survive
Skin feels tight, like wires inside
I cut myself open just to see what died

⸻

[Chorus — Industrial punch]

I’m losing sanity one scream at a time
I’m tearing myself just to feel aligned
The world’s a cage and the key’s a lie
And I’m smiling through the wires, waiting to die

I’m breaking down, cell by cell
My head’s the weapon, welcome to hell
I’m trapped in a body I don’t recognize
A ghost that fucking dramatizes

⸻

[Verse 2 — Chaotic imagery]

My thoughts glitch out in ultraviolet
Can’t reset, no power to fight it
It’s not depression, it’s corrosion
Metal teeth grind emotion

I taste blood in every memory
And the music twists what’s left of me
A walking malfunction, drenched in regret
Self-destruction’s the closest I get

⸻

[Hook — Tighter]

I ain’t dead… but I ain’t alive
Just a glitch pretending to survive
Skin feels tight, like wires inside
I cut myself open just to prove I tried

⸻

[Bridge — Spoken / distorted]

No therapy
No remedy
Just circuitry
Eating me

Broken code
Overload
Crashing hard
System blown

⸻

[Breakdown — slow, sinister]

I scream at the mirror
It never screams back
My sanity is dripping
In a puddle that’s black

Every smile is a lie
Every truth is a cut
Every thought is a trigger
I can’t unplug

⸻

[Final Chorus — brutal emotional drop]

I’m losing sanity one scream at a time
I’m tearing myself just to feel aligned
The world’s a cage and the key’s a lie
And I’m smiling through the wires, praying to die

I’m breaking down, cell by cell
My head’s the weapon, welcome to hell
I’m trapped in a body I can’t recognize
A glitch that never re-synchronizes

⸻

[Outro — quiet, desperate]

Take my voice
Take my breath
Take the sanity I have left

Leave the wires
Leave the scars
Maybe what’s left
Is who we are

Industrial pulse beat, a wounded lion roaring metal truth, and snails dragging raw emotion through dark neon mud slowas.
