[Intro] (A lone, clean electric guitar plays a haunting, looped riff with heavy delay. Ambient wind noise gently hums in the background.) (Exhausted, breathy whisper) My fingers know the motion... My mind is somewhere else... I’m trying not to finish this... By myself... [Verse 1] (Soft, muted bass enters alongside a steady, subtle drum click. The vocal is low, tired, and raspy.) Watching my own hands undo the thread Silent arguments inside my head I want to scream until the windows shake But my mouth is frozen for my own sake I’m reaching for the match, I’m reaching for the flame Whispering your name like a last-ditch claim Every inch of me is running out of steam Trapped inside the closing frame of a nightmare dream [Pre-Chorus] (Guitar switches to long, swelling chords. Drums drop out to leave a hollow, echoing space.) My hands keep moving... Even when I tell them stop. I’m waiting for your shadow... Before the curtain drops. Don't let me do this... Don't let me pull the thread... Say something heavy enough... To keep me in this bed... [Chorus] (The beat kicks in with full, warm bass and distorted guitar textures. The vocals stay tired but gain a layered, desperate edge.) Don't let me snuff me out Catch my wrists before the light goes down I’m reaching for the edge while I begged to stay Don't let me drift, don't let me turn away My vocal cords are snapped, I can’t make a sound But I’m praying that you find me before I hit the ground Hold my shaking arms, break the quiet spell Save me from the version of myself I know too well [Verse 2] (Guitar picking returns, sharper this time. The flow is slow, heavy, and deliberate.) Counting down the seconds while the room turns cold Losing every grip I used to hold I’m standing at the end of the final scene Wiping off the static on a broken screen I don't wanna go, but I’m so tired of the weight Standing on the threshold at the heavy gate If you’re gonna step in, do it right now Cause I’m losing the strength to remember how [Pre-Chorus] (Drums drop out again into atmospheric silence.) My hands keep moving... Even when I tell them stop. I’m waiting for your shadow... Before the curtain drops. Don't let me do this... Don't let me pull the thread... Say something heavy enough... To keep me in this bed... [Chorus] (Full instrumental explosion—reverb-drenched, heavy guitar walls and driving drums.) Don't let me snuff me out Catch my wrists before the light goes down I’m reaching for the edge while I begged to stay Don't let me drift, don't let me turn away My vocal cords are snapped, I can’t make a sound But I’m praying that you find me before I hit the ground Hold my shaking arms, break the quiet spell Save me from the version of myself I know too well [Outro] (Distorted guitars fade out slowly, leaving just the initial clean electric guitar riff echoing alone.) (Barely audible whisper) Catch my hands... Before the scene ends... (Single guitar chord reverberates and dies out)
