(Intro: A harsh, distorted guitar riff hits a slow, agonizing rhythm. Drums enter with a sparse, heavy beat. The sound is thick and deeply demoralizing. A strained, high-pitched scream rings out and quickly fades.) (Verse 1: The Weight of Zero) (N.C.)Yo, I’m standing at the zero line, the bottom of the pit, Every single movement is a failure I admit. The engine is seized, the body is numb, The final, ugly chapter, man, the verdict has come. I tried the push, I tried the relentless grind, But the strength gave out, left the failure behind. I look at the damage, the wreckage, the cost, And every battle I fought, every single one was lost. No more fuel in the tank, no more fire in the soul, Just watching the darkness finally take control. I surrender the effort, I surrender the race, Just need a quiet moment in this desolate place. (Pre-Chorus) (The beat gets slightly frantic, adding a sharp, mechanical synth pulse.) (Am)I see the finish line, (G)it’s mocking me with light, (C)But I can't lift my feet now, (F)I can't reclaim the fight. (E)The Weight of Zero is pushing me down, down, down! (Low Growl): I'M READY TO DROWN! (Chorus) (Tempo explodes into a furious punk beat. Vocals are a mix of aggressive rap and raw, desperate screams.) (C)I AM DEFEATED! (G)The victory is theirs! (Am)I AM THE FAILURE! (F)Lost to the endless stairs! (C)LET THE ANCHOR DROP! (G)Let the wreckage sink slow! (Am)THERE IS NOTHING LEFT! (F)THERE IS NOWHERE TO GO! (C)THIS IS THE ENDING! (G)The final curtain call! (Am)I’M TOO DAMN TIRED (F)TO FIGHT YOU ALL! (Verse 2: The Aftermath) (N.C.)They say "Get up and fight," yeah, they preach the damn theme, But they don't know the effort of trying to catch a dream With broken hands, broken will, and a shattered mind, Leaving every source of hope far, far behind. The pressure's too heavy, the debt is too steep, I'm just closing my eyes and letting the failure sleep. No more defiance, no more rage in the tone, Just a quiet acceptance of being utterly alone. I let the weight hold me, I let the burden stay, There is nothing left to borrow, nothing left to pay. (Pre-Chorus) (The beat gets slightly frantic, adding a sharp, mechanical synth pulse.) (Am)I see the finish line, (G)it’s mocking me with light, (C)But I can't lift my feet now, (F)I can't reclaim the fight. (E)The Weight of Zero is pushing me down, down, down! (Low Growl): I'M READY TO DROWN! (Chorus) (Tempo explodes into a furious punk beat. Vocals are a mix of aggressive rap and raw, desperate screams.) (C)I AM DEFEATED! (G)The victory is theirs! (Am)I AM THE FAILURE! (F)Lost to the endless stairs! (C)LET THE ANCHOR DROP! (G)Let the wreckage sink slow! (Am)THERE IS NOTHING LEFT! (F)THERE IS NOWHERE TO GO! (C)THIS IS THE ENDING! (G)The final curtain call! (Am)I’M TOO DAMN TIRED (F)TO FIGHT YOU ALL! (Outro) (The music hits a slow, agonizing chord, then cuts off abruptly, leaving a single, sustained, strained gasp.) (Silence.)
