[Verse 1 | brittle clean guitar, intimate clean vocal, cold ambience, no drums] I walked into your light, Thinking I could disappear. Your world was made of silver words, Mine was rust and fear. Every mirror cuts my skin, Shows the fractures deep within. And I’m choking on the truth— I was never meant for you. [Pre-Chorus | tension rising, drums enter] Why does your smile Feel like a funeral hymn? [Chorus | explosive full band, screams + soaring cleans] ’Cause I’m out of place, I don’t belong here. I’m the crack in the glass, You pretend not to see. I’m out of place, A ghost in your atmosphere— I would tear off my skin Just to feel like I’m real. [Verse 2 | technical low-tuned riffing, restrained aggression] You shine like sacred fire, And I’m crawling in the ash. I tried to learn the way you breathe, But I break with every gasp. I don’t want to fade away, But I don’t know how to stay. You touch the stars with steady hands, I just sink into the sand. [Pre-Chorus | mounting tension, emotional lift] Why does your voice Feel like a distant prayer? [Chorus | heavier variation, layered cleans + screams] ’Cause I’m out of place, I don’t belong here. I’m the blood on the page That no one wants to read. I’m out of place, A fracture in your sphere— I would carve out my heart Just to know I’m alive. [Bridge | soft, haunting, sparse ambience] If I were holy, if I were pure, Would you let me through your door? If I could steal a different face, Would I finally earn this place? [Breakdown | crushing half-time chugs, guttural vocals] Break me. Replace me. Build me from your light. Erase me. Deface me. I’ll never be what’s right. [Final Chorus | cinematic climax, orchestral lift, cleans + screams] I’m out of place, I don’t belong here. Just a shadow in the crowd That no one ever sees. I’m out of place, Still begging to draw near— I would burn in your sun Just to feel like I’m real. [Outro | single clean guitar note fading into static] I was never real.
