Verse 1:
I wake up drowning in the weight of lies
Promises of greatness, but I'm paralyzed
Torn apart by hands that never cease to reach
They pull me down, while their voices preach
"You're not enough, you'll never be
A hollow shell, that’s all they'll see"
Chains of expectation coil around my throat
I’m suffocating in a world that won’t let go
Chorus:
Beneath the weight, I suffocate,
No peace, no end, just endless hate
Ascend through ruin, break the chain
But every step just brings more pain
The world is fire, I’m consumed
I rise, but still I’m freaking doomed
Beneath the weight, I suffocate,
This hell we’ve made, there’s no escape
Verse 2:
They carve their words into my skin
Force-fed their poison, can’t let them win
But every breath feels like defeat
Caught in this cycle, incomplete
A race I never chose to run
I’m crawling now, but can’t outrun
The fear, the guilt, the shame inside
I break my bones just to survive
Chorus:
Beneath the weight, I suffocate,
No peace, no end, just endless hate
Ascend through ruin, break the chain
But every step just brings more pain
The world is fire, I’m consumed
I rise, but still I’m freaking doomed
Beneath the weight, I suffocate,
This hell we’ve made, there’s no escape
Bridge:
Screams in the dark, they echo through me
A shattered soul, but you refuse to see
I’m bleeding out, I’m crawling blind
But you keep building prisons in my mind
Is this my fate? To live in shame?
To chase a lie, just to play your game?
I tear myself apart to make you whole
But in the end, I’ve lost my soul
Breakdown:
I won’t be your pawn, I won’t be your slave
Bury me now in this shallow grave
I won’t be your pawn, I won’t be your slave
Bury me now in this shallow grave
Final Chorus:
Beneath the weight, I suffocate,
No peace, no end, just endless hate
Ascend through ruin, break the chain
But every step just brings more pain
The world is fire, I’m consumed
I rise, but still I’m freaking doomed
Beneath the weight, I suffocate,
This hell we’ve made, there’s no escape
Outro:
I rise through the ruin, but I’m already dead
A shadow of who I was, nothing left unsaid
In the ashes, I fall, in the dust I decay
There’s no freedom here, only chains in the fray
Ascend through ruin, but there’s nothing above
Just the void that consumes, and the death of love.
