Everything Feels Heavy

phonk trap metal, nu metal, alt-metal, 2000s rock/metal breakdowns

*[Intro — distant radio static, engine noise, sub-bass rumble]*
Three in the morning...
City lights bleeding through the windshield...
I don't think I'm going home tonight...

**Verse 1**
Blacktop stretching like a scar through the dark
Dashboard glow and a dead man's heart
Every exit sign looks the same to me
Every wrong turn feels like destiny

Eyes bloodshot, hands locked on the wheel
Can't tell what's fake anymore, what's real
Tank running low but I still can't stop
Got a head full of noise that will never drop

**Pre-Chorus**
And I—

Can't—

FIND—

THE FUCKING SIGNAL

**Chorus** *(screamed)*
I'M SO TIRED OF BEING ALIVE INSIDE MY HEAD
EVERY NIGHT'S ANOTHER CRASH I NEVER LEFT
I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT
I JUST DRIVE THROUGH THE DARK
'CAUSE THE SILENCE IS TOO MUCH

NO SIGNAL
NO ANSWERS
NO GOD IN THE STATIC ABOVE

I'M SCREAMING THROUGH THE SPEAKERS
BUT THE WORLD'S NOT LISTENING

**[PHONK DROP]**
*808s slam in*
*Cowbell melody*
*Tires screeching through reverb*

**Verse 2**
Streetlights flicker like they're dying with me
Every reflection's someone I don't wanna be
Got ghosts in the rearview, names I can't forget
Broken conversations hanging from my neck

Everybody says it'll all make sense
But I've been waiting years and I'm still convinced
Maybe there ain't a map
Maybe there ain't a cure
Maybe everybody's lost and they're just better at pretending

**Build**
Heartbeat—kick drum—heartbeat—kick drum

The road keeps going

WHERE THE FUCK DOES IT GO?

**Breakdown** *(screamed)*
I CAN'T FEEL MY FACE

I CAN'T FEEL MY SOUL

I CAN'T TELL IF I'M HEALING

OR JUST GETTING OLD

I'M A HEADLIGHT GHOST

ON A MIDNIGHT ROAD

WITH A TANK FULL OF REGRET

AND NOWHERE TO GO

**Phonk Interlude**
*(pitched-down voice)*

"Lost..."

"No signal..."

**Final Chorus** *(full band + massive 808s)*
I'M SO TIRED OF CHASING THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND
TRYING TO HOLD TOGETHER WHAT'S FALLING THROUGH MY HANDS

IF THERE'S A LIGHT AHEAD
IT'S TOO FAR TO SEE

SO I'LL FOLLOW THESE WHITE LINES

UNTIL THEY SWALLOW ME

NO SIGNAL

NO FUTURE

NO PEACE INSIDE MY BONES

JUST THE ENGINE

THE STATIC

AND THE DRIVE HOME ALONE

**Outro**
