[Intro – whispered, delicate piano and soft strings]
Shadows press against my veins…
A thousand voices, and none know my name.
Silence hides where I cannot reach,
Every heartbeat breaks the speech.
[Verse 1 – fragile, whispered, growing with soft percussion]
Glass nerves tremble beneath the skin,
Every glance a dagger sinking in.
The choir of the living, too loud, too near,
I drown in the hymn that I cannot hear.
[Pre-Chorus – breathy, falsetto]
Every breath is borrowed flame,
Every silence calls my name.
I pray for absence, I beg for night,
A sanctuary far from sight.
[Chorus – soaring with choirs + layered guitars]
My battery bleeds into the earth,
A ritual debt I can’t reverse.
Overstimulated, crowned in shame,
Anxiety whispers, and I take the blame.
[Verse 2 – heavier, drums enter, tension rising]
The walls collapse in fractured tones,
Static storms inside my bones.
Their laughter lingers like broken glass,
Time decays, but it will not pass.
[Pre-Chorus – more urgent, voice breaking]
Every second grinds me thin,
A hollow vessel caving in.
I beg the noise to disappear,
To silence the kingdom of fear.
[Chorus – full force, guttural harmonies in background]
My battery bleeds into the earth,
A ritual debt I can’t reverse.
Overstimulated, crowned in shame,
Anxiety whispers, and I take the blame.
[Bridge I – stripped back, eerie choirs]
Carry me into the quiet,
Where shadows bend, and voices die.
Carve me open, lay me bare,
Let stillness stitch the ragged air.
[Bridge II – heavy drop, guitars + double-kick, vocals growl and soar]
I am unraveling, thread by thread,
Alive in body, but soul near dead.
A god of noise with a sharpened crown,
I kneel in silence, I lay it down.
[Chorus – repeated, evolving each time]
[First – soft and haunting:]
My battery bleeds into the earth,
A sacrifice of endless worth.
[Second – rising with strings & layered choirs:]
Overstimulated, I fade, I drown,
Anxiety crowns me, I can’t bow down.
[Third – full-throttle, heavy guitars, screamed & sung:]
My battery bleeds into the earth,
A ritual debt I can’t reverse.
Overstimulated, I break, I drown,
Anxiety rules me, I lay it down.
[Extended Outro – fading into silence]
If silence loves me…
I will not return.
If silence keeps me…
I will never burn.
(faint echoes of the chorus fade into nothing)
