Prompt / Lyrics
[INTRO] (distant crowd noise) (feedback swell) (palm-muted guitars fade in) (snare buildup) I’ve been smiling through the static like I’m fine, like I’m whole But every breath feels borrowed and I’m choking on control ⸻ [VERSE 1 – CLEAN] (tight drums, muted guitars) I’m the one who never breaks the shoulder everyone leans on I swallow words like razor blades just to keep the peace going I carry weight they never see hold my tongue till it bleeds If strength is just pretending then I’m tired of being me ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS – CLEAN → GRIT] (drums open up) (guitars widen) I held it in I played my part But pressure cracks the strongest hearts ⸻ [CHORUS – ANTHEMIC CLEAN] (full band hits) (open chords) This is me giving up (on being quiet) I’m done shrinking just to fit your silence If I burn, I burn loud let the world hear the sound You don’t get to miss me now ⸻ [POST-CHORUS CHANT] (gang vocals) Burn loud Burn loud ⸻ [VERSE 2 – CLEAN WITH EDGE] (rhythm guitars bounce) They only call when I’m breaking only care when it’s loud Funny how love shows up late when the damage is done now I was there when it was heavy when no one else stayed around So don’t cry when I let go you should’ve listened back then ⸻ [PRE-BREAKDOWN] (everything drops out except kick) I kept my mouth shut for too long… ⸻ [BREAKDOWN – SCREAMS] (drop-tuned guitars slam in) (half-time drums) I’M TIRED OF BEING THE STRONG ONE CARRYING YOUR DEAD WEIGHT I SET MYSELF ON FIRE JUST TO FEEL SOMETHING CHANGE IF I BURN — I BURN LOUD NO APOLOGY NOW YOU DON’T GET TO MISS ME YOU SHOULD’VE HEARD ME THEN ⸻ [CHORUS – FINAL (CLEAN + SCREAMS)] (clean lead with screamed backing) (choir-style gang vocals) This is me giving up (on being quiet) I won’t bleed in silence just to keep you smiling If I burn, I burn loud let the truth hit the crowd You don’t get to miss me now ⸻ [OUTRO] (instruments cut) (reverb tail) (spoken, calm) I didn’t lose control… I finally let it go. (final distorted hit)
