Afraid to Die

A metalcore instrumental unfolds with moody strings and reverb-soaked clean guitars, layered atop dramatic orchestral swells, Haunting guitar leads intertwine with slow to mid-tempo rhythms, building through post-rock-inspired crescendos, Intense drops introduce crushing distorted guitars, Songful guitar lines in the chorus and verse contrast with dynamic, scream-driven breakdowns, The bridge rises with orchestral tension, launching into an epic breakdown, Emotional guitar solo and lush orchestral textures deepen the melancholy

Walls press inward in the chest Thoughts tighten, never letting rest Time drags weight across the floor Each step costs more than the one before Breath stalls halfway in the lungs Heart keeps count of what’s been done Not asking for a way back home Just something here that doesn’t pull me under Holding the line with shaking hands Running out of room to stand Oh caught between holding on and giving up Lungs burn slow, but the heart stays up Hands reach out, nothing replies Still standing at the fault in time I don’t wanna live but I’m scared to die The body caves in with every move Motion without progress, steps in place Fear clings deep, stitched to the skin Worn like a mark that won’t erase Tried to stay useful, tried to stay strong Tried not to be another weight to carry But each second sharpens the fight And ground keeps slipping anyway If there’s a way through this It stays unseen Oh caught between holding on and giving up Lungs burn slow, but the heart stays up Hands reach out, nothing replies Still standing at the fault in time I don’t wanna live but I’m scared to die Crushed beneath self made weight Days pile up, no escape If everything slips away Does anything finally change Say it out loud, let it exist Oh caught between holding on and giving up Lungs burn slow, but the heart stays up Hands reach out, nothing replies Still standing at the fault in time I don’t wanna live but I’m scared to die scared to die
