Darkness

(Verse 1)
This concrete coffin, it’s tightening, breath caught in my throat
Every ticking second, another silent choke
The walls whisper, "You're not meant to fly, just fall."
Another promise broken, another bitter lie, to break us all.

(Pre-Chorus)
The static in my head, it screeches and it burns
Nowhere left to turn, nowhere left to learn
Just the echo of control, a phantom hand around my neck.
Feels like the end is coming, and I'm ready for the wreck.

(Chorus)
Spit it out, the venom rising, taste the rust
This whole damn existence, turning into dust!
I HATE THIS LIFE! A festering wound, a broken soul!
Just let the darkness swallow, make me whole!
Let me die! Just let it die!

(Verse 2)
See the hollow faces, plastered on a painted grin
They don't see the blackness, festering within
They preach their empty sermons, "Things will get better, son."
But the sun's just a spotlight on the damage that's been done.
A cycle of torment, no end in sight
Just another battle, I'm too tired to fight.

(Pre-Chorus)
The static in my head, it screeches and it burns
Nowhere left to turn, nowhere left to learn
Just the echo of control, a phantom hand around my neck.
Feels like the end is coming, and I'm ready for the wreck.

(Chorus)
Spit it out, the venom rising, taste the rust!
This whole damn existence, turning into dust!
I HATE THIS LIFE! A festering wound, a broken soul!
Just let the darkness swallow, make me whole!
Let me die! Just let it die!

(Bridge)
I claw at the surface, but the ground keeps giving way
Every dawn a torment, another brutal day.
Is there an exit? Somewhere I can simply cease to be?
Just quiet. Just nothing. Just release from me.
(Whispered, venomous) This relentless pulse, it just won't cut the cord.
(Building to a scream) This life I never asked for, violently abhorred!

(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break - Imagine raw, distorted aggression)

(Chorus)
SPIT IT OUT, THE VENOM RISING, TASTE THE RUST!
THIS WHOLE DAMN EXISTENCE, TURNING INTO DUST!
I HATE THIS LIFE! A FESTERING WOUND, A BROKEN SOUL!
JUST LET THE DARKNESS SWALLOW, MAKE ME WHOLE!
LET ME DIE! JUST LET IT DIE!

(Outro)
Yeah, let it die.
This empty breath.
Just silence.
Just… (abrupt cut or fade to static/feedback)
