[Verse 1] My chest is closing in again These walls keep shrinking as I breathe My voice breaks before it reaches Every word too scared to leave I reach for light, but nights get longer Memories tighten ’round my spine I try to stand, but fall inside me A quiet war I can’t define [Pre-Chorus] You let me fall when I needed you most Now I’m haunted by the weight of your ghost I’m slipping under, I can’t outrun The person I was — he’s already gone [Instrumental Chorus – deep bass + violin + guitar riff] [Verse 2] I feel the ground beneath me cracking All the breaths I lose turn cold I hear the silence laughing at me Telling me I can’t be whole Every night grows heavy, darker Every thought pulls down my chest I keep fighting what’s inside me But the void won’t let me rest [Pre-Chorus] You let me fall when I needed you most Now I’m haunted by the weight of your ghost I’m fading out, I’m coming undone The person I knew — he’s no longer the one [Instrumental Chorus – violin + pounding drums + vocal echoes] [Guitar Solo – distorted rock lead + brass stabs] [Verse 3] If I could break these shrinking walls If I could breathe without the fear Maybe I’d find the piece I lost Somewhere buried in the years But every step feels like surrender Every truth cuts like a blade I’m still begging for the strength To face the mess that I became [Pre-Chorus] You let me fall when I needed you most Now I’m haunted but I won’t be your ghost I’m holding on, I’m not yet done Even if the old me never returns [Instrumental Chorus – trance loop, layered horns, heavy bass + violin + operatic hum] [Outro] I’m trying I’m trying Even as the walls keep closing in
