[Intro – ambient acoustic guitar, distant pedal steel, low rumbling bass swell] [Clean Male – soft, exhausted, reflective] I’m constantly driving Everybody I know Away from me… [Verse 1 – bright acoustic strumming over heavy restrained groove] [Clean Male – emotional, melodic] I’m constantly driving Everybody I know away from me Maybe I’m the problem they all learned to see ‘Cause they won’t accept me For who I really am Every room feels colder Every outstretched hand There’s very little reason For me to feel alright And I don’t know why I’m always unhappy at night Maybe it’s my fault Maybe I’m born this way A spark inside my chest That never fades away [Pre-Chorus – drums building, female harmonies rising] [Clean Male] There’s a fire underneath my skin I hold it back but it still gets in Every little wound comes back alive Every lonely thought survives [Female Harmonies – airy, emotional] Survives… Survives… [Chorus – massive groove, djent riffs + soaring pedal steel] [Clean Male – huge melodic hook] I got a sickness in my soul A static heart I can’t control Every bridge I touch just burns Every lesson hurts to learn [Unclean Male – layered under final lines] Why am I angry all the time?! Why do I feel so left behind?! [Clean Male] Maybe I was built this way A little love and a lot of rage Trying to scream through the weight of it all While everybody watches me fall [Verse 2 – driving drums, emotional lift] [Clean Male] I don’t know why I’m so lonely Maybe I was never enough Maybe being needed Isn’t anywhere close to love I always felt disposable A name they used and left behind Like I only mattered When somebody needed my time And I don’t know why I cry at night When the whole world goes dark Feels like nobody noticed I was falling apart [Pre-Breakdown – tension build, guitars widening] [Clean Male] Maybe I just wanted somebody To stay… Maybe I just needed somebody To say… [Female Harmonies] You’re not broken… You’re not gone… [Breakdown – crushing djent riff, aggressive drums] [Unclean Male – raw, emotional] I’M NOT A MONSTER I’M JUST TIRED OF BLEEDING TIRED OF SCREAMING WITHOUT ANYBODY HEARING I KEEP THE ANGER BURIED DOWN INSIDE BUT EVERY SINGLE YEAR IT COMES BACK ALIVE [Half-Time Chorus – emotional release] [Clean Male – soaring, desperate] I got a sickness in my soul A static heart I can’t control Trying to outrun who I became But every road feels just the same [Female Harmonies] Just the same… Just the same… [Clean Male] Maybe someday I’ll forgive myself Maybe someday I’ll finally heal But tonight I still feel invisible And I still don’t know what’s real [Outro – stripped back acoustic + pedal steel] [Clean Male – fragile] Maybe it’s because… I’m not remembered For anything good [Soft Female Harmony] Anything good… [End Song]
