[Intro – distant, washed-out] I feel it coming… rising… ⸻ [Chorus – melodic, hypnotic] Rising sea, washing over me Pull me down where I don’t wanna be Every wave got control of me I can’t breathe in this rising sea Rising sea, covering my mind All these thoughts I can’t leave behind Try to swim but I’m sinking deep I get lost in this rising sea ⸻ [Verse 1 – laid-back rap, moody] Rising up, I can feel the tide Every time I run, it’s right behind Washing out everything I know Taking pieces I can’t let go Thoughts get blurred, I can’t see straight Something pulling on my weight Used to burn, used to feel alive Now I’m just trying to survive Empty head but the noise still loud Standing lost in a faceless crowd Try to fight but it drags me in Same old place that I’ve always been ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – building tension] I try to breathe… but it won’t let me… ⸻ [Chorus – stronger] Rising sea, washing over me Pull me down where I don’t wanna be Every wave got control of me I can’t breathe in this rising sea Rising sea, covering my mind All these thoughts I can’t leave behind Try to swim but I’m sinking deep I get lost in this rising sea ⸻ [Verse 2 – darker, more emotional] Now it’s drowning everything I feel What’s fake, what’s left that’s real? Face I wear don’t look like me Just a mask in the rising sea Every lie that I tried to hide Comes alive in the undertow All the pain I pushed aside Now it’s all I know Love and hate got me torn in two Don’t know which one pulling through Fate feel like it slipped away While I’m drifting day by day ⸻ [Bridge – stripped, haunting] Let it take me… or let me fight… I don’t know… what’s wrong or right… ⸻ [Final Chorus – biggest impact] Rising sea, crashing over me I don’t know who I’m supposed to be Every wave got control of me But I won’t drown in this rising sea Rising sea, still inside my mind But I’m fighting just to stay alive Even if I sink too deep… I won’t fade in this rising sea ⸻ [Outro – fading, calm after storm] Still rising… but I’m still here…
