(Intro – Clean guitar, reverb, slow build)
Static in my head, can’t kill the noise
Every broken thought just fills the void
Teeth clenched tight, I bite my tongue
Another night I come undone
(Verse 1 – Palm-muted guitars, steady drums)
Cracks in the walls where I used to breathe
Now every memory’s choking me
Your shadow’s burned behind my eyes
A ghost that never says goodbye
Every second drags like chains
Every heartbeat screams your name
(Pre-Chorus – Brief pullback, tension rise)
I try to scream but nothing breaks
Just drowning in my own mistakes
(Chorus – Full distortion, big chords)
These tear drops fall like acid rain
Burning holes inside my brain
I’m wide awake but feel dead inside
Nowhere left for me to hide
Yeah, I’m sinking faster than I can blink
The emptiness is heavier than you think
(Post-Chorus – Driving rhythm)
No air to breathe, no words to say
Just watching everything decay
(Verse 2 – Heavy chugs, darker tone)
Cold sweat crawling down my spine
Your voice still echoes in my mind
Every promise turned to rust
Every “forever” smashed to dust
Truth is just a loaded gun
Pointed at what I’ve become
(Pre-Chorus – Dynamic dip, build)
I can’t outrun what I can’t face
Your memory I can’t erase
(Chorus – Massive guitars, layered vocals)
These tear drops fall like acid rain
Carving scars I can’t explain
I’m wide awake but feel dead inside
Nowhere left for me to hide
Yeah, I’m sinking faster than I can blink
The emptiness is heavier than you think
(Verse 3 – Sustained drive, intense vocal)
Mirror staring back at me
Like someone I refuse to be
Fractured thoughts and shaking hands
Life collapsing where I stand
Every hope I tried to save
Buried deep inside the grave
(Pre-Chorus – Rising pressure)
One more step before I break
One more breath I cannot take
(Chorus – Explosive, high energy)
These tear drops fall like acid rain
Washing over all the pain
I’m wide awake but feel dead inside
Nowhere left for me to hide
Yeah, I’m sinking faster than I can blink
The emptiness is heavier than you think
(Bridge – Half-time, atmospheric)
I’m not okay — just play pretend
Smile wide while I descend
If silence speaks, then hear me now
I’m lost and I don’t know how
Every road just leads to you
Every lie I called the truth
(Guitar Solo – High-gain, fast and melodic)
(Breakdown – Crushing chugs, shouted vocal)
Rip me open, let it bleed
All this weight consuming me
No salvation, no release
Just a war that never sleeps
Teeth grind hard, fists to sky
Scream until my throat runs dry
(Final Chorus – Biggest, fully layered)
These tear drops fall like acid rain
Nothing left for me to save
I’m wide awake but feel dead inside
Buried hope I cannot find
Yeah, I’m sinking faster than I can blink
The emptiness is heavier than you think
(Outro – Feedback fade, clean echoes)
Drip… drop… hear them hit the floor
Same damn pain like before
No peace found, no escape
Just tear drops I can’t erase
Fading out but still I sink
Into the weight I cannot lift.
