(lyrics:

(Intro – Distorted Whisper FX)

"I see you breaking...

But you’ll never see me fall."

(Verse 1 – Whispered Rap, Clean Guitars)

I’ve been stitched together with wires and pride

Holding back storms that claw from inside

Your prayers don’t touch me, your light can’t mend

I don’t bend—I don’t fake—I pretend

(Pre-Chorus – Low Growl + Reverb)

I was born from rust and flame

You’ll never shape me, never change

(Chorus – Screamed, Full Instrumentation)

I CAN’T BEND—

Break me if you’re brave enough

I’m jagged steel and loaded lungs

I’M NOT SORRY FOR THE SCARS I WEAR

Your heaven can’t exist down here!

(Verse 2 – Aggressive Trap Rap + Screams)

I see your mask, that porcelain smile

But I live in the gutter with wolves and bile

This isn’t therapy, this is war

My pain’s a church, my faith’s the floor

(Glitch Breakdown – Guttural Screams)

BEND—BEND—BEND—

YOU WANT ME DEAD—

I’d rather choke than kneel again

(Bridge – Clean Melodic Vocals + Horrorcore FX)

I lit my hope and watched it fade

It flickered once… then slipped away

You build your peace on my decay

But I won’t break, not today

(Final Chorus – Mixed Screams + Clean)

I CAN’T BEND—

Not for love, not for God, not for pain

This soul is cracked, but it won’t change

I WON’T PRAY IN CHAINS AGAIN

You want to save me? Bring the end

(Outro – Whispered)

If you came here to fix me…

You're already too late.
