[Intro (ambient, spoken word, no drums, clean guitar swells and distant piano)] [Vocals whispered and reflective.] I keep doing the math in my head Years I might get Years I already burned And every answer comes back the same Not enough [Verse 1 (slow djent groove, muted guitars, low tension)] [Low gritty melodic vocal.] I wake up already behind Another morning I can't rewind All these years I swore were endless Now they fall apart in seconds I used to think time moved slow Now every hour cuts my throat Every plan I tried to make Feels like sand I can't contain I thought I'd live a thousand lives Try every road every wrong every right But the truth sits heavy in my chest There's an end to this No reset [Pre-Chorus (instrumental build, guitars open up, orchestral tension rising)] [Strained emotional vocal.] Every second screaming You don't get it back You don't get it back You don't get it back [Chorus (big melodic metalcore chorus, full band, choir backing)] I want another lifetime Another hundred chances to begin again Another thousand sunsets Before the dirt closes in But the clock keeps hunting me Dragging chains across my chest I want forever But forever doesn't exist [Verse 2 (heavier riff, aggressive tone)] [Half screamed vocals.] I wasted years I can't retrieve On doubt and things I didn't need Every fear I tried to outrun Still living under my skin I keep asking pointless questions What if I chose another direction Would I be someone else tonight Or just another ghost in disguise I see the ending in the distance Getting louder every day I try to laugh it off like nothing But the panic never fades [Pre-Chorus (bigger than first)] Every second screaming You don't get it back You don't get it back You don't get it back [Chorus (larger, more emotional)] I want another lifetime Another hundred chances to begin again Another thousand sunsets Before the dirt closes in But the clock keeps hunting me Dragging chains across my chest I want forever But forever doesn't exist [Bridge (quiet moment, piano and ambient guitar)] [Soft internal monologue vocal.] What if this is it One run One breath One chance to understand any of it And I spent half of it fighting myself [Build (rising intensity, tremolo guitars, orchestral swell)] I tried to outrun the ending I tried to silence the dread But every road leads forward And forward leads to death I tried to bargain with time Like it would care at all But time keeps walking past me Like I don't exist at all [Breakdown (slow crushing djent riff, deep screams)] I AM RUNNING OUT Running out of days Running out of breath Running out of time Running straight to death I AM RUNNING OUT [Final Breakdown (heaviest riff, chant screams)] Not enough time Not enough life Not enough chances To make this right Not enough years Not enough breath Every road ends Every road ends Not enough time Not enough life Not enough chances To make this right Every road ends Every road ends Every road ends And I'm Not Ready Yet! [Outro (ambient fade, clean guitar and piano)] [Spoken, exhausted acceptance.] I wanted forever But forever was never promised Only this moment And whatever I do with it [Repeat and heavy breakdowns]
