(Intro – instrumental / whispered vox) (Low distorted bass swell, sparse drums) (Female whispered): Don’t let go… Don’t let me breathe… [Verse 1] (Male low rasp/clean blend): I wake up choking on the weight of your name Carved in my chest like a permanent stain I tried to stand, but the ground gave way Every promise you made just decayed (Female half-sung, cold): You say you’re drowning, but you pulled me under Hands on my throat like you crave the thunder You beg for mercy, then you twist the knife Call it love while you ruin my life [Pre-Chorus] (Male): I feel the cracks in the concrete skin Every time you pull me back in (Female): Say you’re strong, but you crawl to me Say my name like it's blasphemy [Chorus] (Both anthemic, huge): Drag me through the floor Till I don’t feel anything anymore Tear me down, make me yours I’m bleeding just to feel restored (Male growl under harmony): Break me till I’m hollow inside (Female melodic): I survive every time you try (Both): Drag me through the floor I keep begging for the war [Post-Chorus Hook] (Both): Down! Lower! You love me when I’m broken! [Verse 2] (Both, sharper edge): You wear your pain like a loaded gun Point it at me when the damage is done Say you’re empty, say you’re cursed But you love me best when I’m hurt (Both Male Scream, Female Clean): I bite my tongue till I taste the rust Every lie we tell just feeds the lust I try to run but I crave the fall I hate myself when I hear you call [Pre-Chorus 2] (Male CLean): Every step is a losing fight (Female Clean): But I still crawl back every night [Chorus – Repeat] (Both): Drag me through the floor Till I don’t feel anything anymore Tear me down, make me yours I’m bleeding just to feel restored (Female belted harmony): I’m alive when it hurts like this (Male growl): I don’t know how to quit [Breakdown] (Ultra-slow, palm-muted chugs) (Male growl): Say it again… Tell me I’m nothing (Female snarled whisper): You are the wound You are the weapon (Both scream): PULL — ME — DOWN BREAK — ME — NOW [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] (Both clean, haunting breathy): If I let go, would you disappear? Or am I the ghost you keep right here? (Both quiet, restrained breathy): If I heal, do I lose your touch? Is surviving asking too much? (Drums build rapidly) [Final Chorus – Double Chorus / Extended] (Both full force): Drag me through the floor Till I don’t feel anything anymore Tear me down, make me yours I’m addicted to the damage score (Male scream): Break me, bend me, make me crawl (Female): I rise every time I fall (Both held note): Drag me through the floooooor [Outro – Collapse] Drag me through the floor Till I don’t feel anything anymore Tear me down, make me yours I’m addicted to the damage score Drag me through the floor Till I don’t feel anything anymore Tear me down, make me yours Tear me down, make me yours Tear me down, make me yours
