(Intro – Clean guitar, tense build)
Static on the line, but no one speaks
Heavy is the air I breathe
Footsteps echo in my head
Every word we left unsaid
(Verse 1 – Palm-muted guitars, steady groove)
Cold room, shadows on the wall
Your memory still haunts it all
Every second pulls me down
Like I’m buried underground
(Pre-Chorus – Brief pullback, tension rise)
I feel the pressure in my chest
A war inside I cannot rest
(Chorus – Full distortion, explosive energy)
Dead silence screaming in my brain
Louder than the pouring rain
Wide awake but paralyzed
Trapped behind these hollow eyes
Every wound cuts deep inside
Now there’s nowhere left to hide
(Verse 2 – Heavy chugs, darker tone)
Broken clocks and shattered trust
Promises reduced to dust
Every truth I tried to keep
Dragged me further, sinking deep
(Pre-Chorus – Dynamic dip, rebuild)
I taste the fear, I feel the weight
Another step toward the break
(Chorus – Massive guitars, driving drums)
Dead silence screaming in my brain
Burning through me like a flame
Wide awake but paralyzed
Drowning in the great divide
Every wound cuts deep inside
Now there’s nowhere left to hide
(Bridge – Half-time, atmospheric tension)
No escape from what I’ve done
No salvation, nowhere to run
If I fall into the dark
Will anyone know who we are?
(Guitar Solo – High-gain, fast, emotional bends)
(Breakdown – Crushing chugs, shouted vocal)
Tear it open, let it break
Every breath I try to take
Pressure building, can’t contain
Nothing left but bitter pain
(Final Chorus – Biggest impact, layered guitars)
Dead silence screaming in my brain
Driving me insane
Wide awake but paralyzed
No more tears to cry
Every wound cuts deep inside
Now there’s nowhere left to hide
(Outro – Feedback fade, clean echoes)
Static on the line again
Right back where it all began
No voice, no warning sign
Just dead silence every night.
