Breakdown and Crashout

[Intro - Keybaord] [Intro - Keyboard and Guitar harmonize] [Breakdown - Bass] [Verse 1] In succession, aggression from the collapse of pride in the suspension of time, saved and spent, saved and spent in the hands of a foolish steward shot boiling water through his veins. Words and thoughts, reckless with abandon, dammed at his throat, choked with fury. [Repeat Intro] [Verse 2] Then the tremor, the echo of failure, a slow drag of weight from a forgotten corner, grit and glass from the floor of old wounds rising again, rising again through the cracked shell of a tired mind. Memory seeped like rust, corroding the frame he tried to hold upright. [Breakdown, with Guitar and Bas] [Verse 3] A pulse of doubt, sharp as splintered iron, pressed into his ribs, pressed until breath grew thin. He tasted the old poison of shame, bitter and clean, a voice from the past burning through the quiet he fought to keep. [Chorus] He staggered inward, caught between anger and ache, caught and turning, caught and turning like a wheel grinding sparks in a barren room with no witness. Every thought struck stone, every word lit the dark for a moment before fading. [Solo] [Bridge - Start with Bass, then come in wtih Keyboard and Guitar]] Still he stood, shaking with the weight of his own making, a fragile heat rising from the fault lines where he broke, where he bent, where he learned to hide. [Chorus] [Outro] And in that heat, raw but steady, he felt the surge of something stubborn, something old, something alive under the ruin, pushing upward, pushing upward through ash and bone toward a colder, clearer breath.
