Hallowed Eternity

[Intro – ambient, no drums, distant textures, very minimal] Is this what I wanted More time or just more of this [Verse 1 – soft, fragile, minimal instrumentation] I thought if I could stretch the moment I could learn to breathe again Like time was something I could bargain Like it wasn’t wearing thin I used to beg for something endless Like it meant I’d feel alive But now the seconds feel like pressure And I’m barely getting by [Pre-Chorus – slight rise, still restrained] I wanted more But not this [Chorus – emotional, slow heavy chords, wide atmosphere] What’s the point of forever If I feel like this inside I thought I wanted eternity Now I just want relief What’s the point of more time If I’m already dead inside What’s the point of breathing If I can’t feel anything [Verse 2 – slightly fuller instrumentation, still restrained] Every hour feels heavier Every day drags me down I don’t feel like I’m living I just keep sticking around There’s no moment of clarity No sudden change of heart Just the slow realization I’ve been this way from the start [Pre-Chorus – slightly more emotional, layered vocals] I wanted more But not this [Chorus – bigger but still slow and heavy, layered vocals] What’s the point of forever If I feel like this inside I thought I wanted eternity Now I just want relief What’s the point of more time If I’m already dead inside What’s the point of breathing If I can’t feel anything [Bridge – quiet, stripped back, almost no instrumentation] I used to be afraid of dying Now I’m just afraid of staying like this [Build – slow rising intensity, toms, swelling guitars] Every second stretches out Every moment feels the same I thought time would change me But I never changed I kept waiting for something Some kind of shift But nothing ever came Nothing ever did [Breakdown – slow, crushing, minimal, deep screams, space between hits] This Is What I Am [Final Chorus – biggest emotional peak, full instrumentation, still slow] What’s the point of forever If I feel like this inside I thought I wanted eternity Now I just want relief What’s the point of more time If I’m already dead inside What’s the point of breathing If I can’t feel anything [Outro – ambient fade, clean guitar, soft vocal, no drums] Maybe time was never the problem Maybe it was always me
