👊 The Antidote (Abuse v2s1)

⸻ 🎼 “I Need the Antidote (I’m Done Walking on Glass)” ⸻ [Intro | low piano hit | distant hum | heartbeat] Door opens — I already feel it Tension thick before a word is said Same damn script, same accusations Living loud inside my head Yeah ⸻ [Verse 1 | muted guitar | slow build] I’m on the brink of the brink Every move makes you sink Into shouting, into blame Every night feels the same Every joke turns to war Every step something more I can’t breathe in this space Can’t even show my face ⸻ [Pre-Chorus | rising tension | strings swell] Walk on eggshells, watch my tone Still somehow I’m in the wrong Every word gets twisted up Every line becomes too much ⸻ [Chorus | explosive | full band] I need the antidote I’m sick of living like I’m under attack I need the antidote Every word you throw just pulls me back I need the antidote I’m done with this shit I’m done with this shit Ooh ooh I need the antidote ⸻ [Chant Chorus 1 | tight | stomp rhythm] Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out Nothing I do is right Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out Every day’s a fight ⸻ [Instrumental Solo 0 | short | dulcimer strikes → distorted guitar hit] ⸻ [Verse 2 | heavier | more bite] Work all day, come home to fire Every word just climbs you higher You don’t listen, you just react Twist it up, then call it fact Kids in the room, voices raised I swallow anger, count the days Hold it in so they don’t see What this is doing to me ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2 | more aggressive] I tried calm, I tried to bend Tried to make this make some sense But every road just leads right back To the same damn trap ⸻ [Chorus 2 | bigger | raw] I need the antidote I’m sick of living like I’m under attack I need the antidote Every word you throw just pulls me back I need the antidote I’m done with this shit I’m done with this shit Ooh ooh I need the antidote ⸻ [Chant Chorus 2 | escalation] Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out Sick of biting my tongue Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out I’m not the only one ⸻ [Instrumental Solo 1 | violin + guitar | chaotic emotional phrasing] ⸻ [Bridge / Verse 3 | drop drums | raw vocal | minimal backing] I stayed for the kids, stayed for the peace Stayed hoping somehow it would ease But peace don’t live in a house like this It dies in every word you twist I’m not your enemy, not your war But I won’t take it anymore Something’s breaking — can’t hold it in This is where I draw the line ⸻ [Instrumental Solo 2 | xylophone hits + heavy synth → guitar swell] ⸻ [Final Chorus | biggest release | layered vocals] I need the antidote I’m done pretending this is okay I need the antidote I won’t keep living this way I need the antidote I’m taking my life back I’m taking my life back Ooh ooh I need the antidote ⸻ [Outro Chant | short | fading intensity] Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out Not this time, not again Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out This is where it ends ⸻ [Final Line | calm, resolved] I’m done ⸻
