[Intro: 105 BPM, Sparse Muted Guitar Plucking, Simple Kick-Drum Pulse, Dark Reverb]
[Pause]
[Soft clicking sound]

[Verse 1: Male Vocals, Very Quiet and Intimate, Minimal Bass]
The walls were high, the ceiling was a weight...
I learned to breathe in a constant state of wait.
You took the light and you turned it into gray,
I counted every second of every hollow day.
[Pause]
I’m still here.

[Verse 2: Female Vocals, Echoing the Male Melody, Sparse Guitar Chords]
The echoes of your voice are fading in the hall,
I’m learning how to stand, I’m learning how to fall.
The bruises on the spirit are the hardest ones to see,
But you can’t keep the lock on a soul that’s finally free.
[Pause]
I’m still here.

[Pre-Chorus: Dual Vocals Harmonizing Softly, Shimmering Synth Pad]
It’s a slow thaw...
The ice is starting to break.
It’s a long road...
But it’s a path I have to take.

[Chorus: Mid-Tempo Groove, Driving Sub-Bass, Catchy Muted Guitar Riff, Dual Vocals]
CRYSTALLIZED IN THE LIGHT!
I’m shaking off the winter of the longest night!
CRYSTALLIZED IN THE LIGHT!
I’m finding all the pieces that you tried to fight!
I’m not the victim... I’m the survivor now.
[Female high harmony]
Survivor now.

[Bridge: Music Drops Out, Only a Single Ticking Percussion, Whispered Vocals]
[Male] You tried to break me.
[Female] You tried to take me.
[Dual] But the glass is stronger than the hammer.
[Dual] The silence is louder than the clamor.
[Slightly more volume]
I AM... UNBROKEN.

[Guitar Solo: Clean, Simple, Melodic Lead Guitar with Heavy Delay]

[Chorus: Maximum Dynamic (but still minimalist), More Percussion, Layered Vocals]
CRYSTALLIZED IN THE LIGHT!
I’m shaking off the winter of the longest night!
CRYSTALLIZED IN THE LIGHT!
I’m finding all the pieces that you tried to fight!
I’m not the victim... I’m the survivor now.
[Male low harmony]
Survivor now.

[Outro: Slowing Tempo, Guitar Fading Out, Only the Kick-Drum Pulse]
[Female] The dust is settling.
[Male] The air is clear.
[Dual] I’m not afraid...
[Dual] To be here.
[Final Muted Guitar Note]
[End]
