[Intro - minimal haunting piano + soft distant vocals] Yeah... I'm still here... But I feel it coming... [Verse 1 - conversational, raw intensity] Wake up every morning, body feeling like a cage Doctor's words still ringing, turning every breath to rage They gave me numbers, percentages, and a timeline But I'm looking at my family knowing I gotta fight this time Heart keeps beating like it's running out of fuel Every laugh feels borrowed, every smile feels cruel I tell 'em "I'm fine," but the mirror don't lie I'm dying in slow motion while I'm waving goodbye [Pre-Hook - building strings] How do you live when the end is on the clock? How do you run when your legs just wanna stop? [Chorus - vulnerable melodic hook with orchestral swell] I'm still breathing, still fighting, still here War in my head between hope and fear Every second's a battle I refuse to lose I'm dying but I'm living, got nothing left to prove Still breathing... through the pain and the doubt Screaming at the sky, "You ain't taking me out!" This the war inside, the war I can't escape Trying to live like tomorrow's a mistake [Verse 2 - faster, tighter flow, rising urgency] Now the clock is ticking louder in my ear Every heartbeat feels like goodbye drawing near I hug my people tighter than I ever did before Knowing one day these arms won't lift no more Guilt in my chest for the time that I wasted Anger in my veins for the life that I'm tasting Self-doubt whispering "What if you fall apart?" But something in my soul keeps saying "Protect your heart" [Bridge - tense pause then massive orchestral build] I can feel the darkness pulling at my feet... But I'm still standing... [Final Chorus / Explosive Section - full cinematic production, heavy drums, raw powerful delivery] I'm still breathing! Still fighting! Still here! War in my head but I'm winning this year! Every second's a blessing I refuse to waste I'm dying but I'm living with fire in my chest! Still breathing! Through the pain and the lies! Looking death in the eyes like I got nothing to hide! This the war inside, the war that made me strong I'm dying... but I'm living... all night long! [Outro - swelling orchestra then sudden drop back to haunting piano] Yeah... I'm still breathing... Even while I'm dying... I'm still here...
