[Verse 1 — Female Lead, airy but tense]
I’m breaking in silence while I fake the calm
Glitch in my heartbeat, static in my palms
Pain keeps crawling like a code in my veins
Time keeps grinding, rewriting my name
[Verse 1 — Male Ghost (soft, breathy, almost digital)]
I hear the cracks you hide beneath your breath
I’m the echo behind you, the weight in your chest
I’m the voice in the wires you try to ignore
Pulling you back when you’re losing the floor
[Pre‑Chorus — Her forward, him glitch‑echoing]
Her: Depression hits bitter, metallic and cold
Him (echo): I know the story you never told
[Chorus — Her soaring, him layered behind]
Her:
I woke up today, I woke up today
Even when the darkness never fades away
Him (ghost‑soft harmony):
You’re standing in the noise but you feel alone
Trying to fix the world while you break your own
Both:
I woke up today
[Verse 2 — Female Lead, rhythmic like LP verses]
Numb is the armor that helps me breathe
Trading my feelings for a moment of peace
What if stopping means I lose control
What if silence tries to swallow me whole
[Verse 2 — Male Ghost, closer, more emotional]
You don’t want the end, you want the pressure gone
You want the weight off your chest you’ve carried too long
One second in your mind and they’d finally see
Why every step feels like falling debris
[Pre‑Chorus — Him first, her answering]
Him: Depression’s a mask you’ve worn too long
Her: Smiling through the static where everything feels wrong
[Chorus — Full hybrid swell]
Her:
I woke up today, I woke up today
Even when I’m shattered, fractured, gray
Him:
I woke up today, I woke up today
Trying to hold you before you fade
Both:
A ghost in the crowd while you build their light
Fading to shadows as you lose the fight
I woke up today
[Bridge — Him whispering → her belting, LP‑style build]
Him (whispered, glitchy):
Tell me you hear me before you break
Tell me your suffering isn’t all fake
Her (rising):
Walk through my mind for a single breath
You’d understand why I fear the depth
Both (her belting, him strained harmony):
Not to vanish—just to stop the ache
Just to make the agony shake
[Final Chorus — LP‑style explosion, hope rising]
Her:
I woke up today, I woke up today
Life’s a war but I’m finding my way
Him:
Still I stay, still I stay
Holding your pieces through the fray
Both:
I woke up today, I woke up today
Standing in the wreckage but refusing to break
Masked and fading, but I’m not gone
I’m still here, I’m still holding on
Her: I woke up today
Him: I woke up today
Both: I woke up today
