[Intro – distorted synth pulses, ghostly sustained pads drifting in the background] (low mechanical rumble, distant metallic scraping) Pulse… pulse… pulse… Cold light flickers overhead… (whisper) Wake up… Why won’t you wake up… [Verse 1 – metallic percussion begins: hollow clanks, scraping echoes] Footsteps ringing through the hall Every shadow on the wall Watching every breath I take Like the dark itself awake Flicker screens with broken eyes Watching from the other side Every door I try to break Leads me deeper in the wake (metal scraping grows louder) [Pre-Chorus – industrial rhythm rising, distorted noise swelling] Hear the whispers through the wires Cold mechanical choirs Every echo seems to say You’ll never find the way [Chorus – heavy industrial beat drops, distorted synth stabs] Will this nightmare ever end? Every hallway twists again Every shadow calls my name Like a ghost inside my brain Will this nightmare let me go? Every path I try to know Turns to static in the dark With a beating metal heart [Verse 2 – warped noise effects, harsher percussion] Broken mirrors line the room Every face becomes a tomb Every reflection staring back Looks like something cracked Something breathing in the steel Cold and watching as I feel Every heartbeat pounding loud Like a signal through the crowd (echoed metallic impact) [Pre-Chorus – tension building] Hear the circuits start to scream Splitting open every dream Every whisper in the air Says the nightmare’s everywhere [Chorus – heavier drop, layered industrial rhythm] Will this nightmare ever end? Every hallway twists again Every shadow calls my name Like a ghost inside my brain Will this nightmare let me go? Every path I try to know Turns to static in the dark With a beating metal heart [Bridge – ambient horror section, ghostly pads and reversed echoes] (whispered layered voices) Don’t wake up… Don’t wake up… You belong here now… Every step you try to take Feeds the dream that will not break Every breath you try to steal Makes the nightmare more real [Final Chorus – chaotic industrial climax] Will this nightmare ever end? Or is this where I descend? Every signal tearing through Every lie I thought was true Hear the metal voices cry Through the fractured neon sky And the darkness softly said— (whisper) “You were never meant to wake.” [Outro – fading synth drones, distant metallic echoes] Pulse… pulse… pulse… (soft whisper) Still dreaming…
