[Intro] (Vocals only, raw and completely dry, dripping with pure exhaustion and grit) I’m running numbers while the ceiling bleeds Trying to build the armor that everybody needs Ten hours on the clock, no time to break down But the walls are closing in on this crowded town... [Drop] (Massive, sudden drop into heavy distorted guitars and a driving, rhythmic industrial beat) [Verse 1] (Fast, rhythmic, high-tension delivery) Chasing the baseline, balancing the weight Clocking in early just to outrun fate A house full of echoes, a schedule on fire Walking a tightrope over the wire They look at me for answers, they look to me for strength But I am stretching every single dollar to its length! [Pre-Chorus] (Guitars build a frantic wall of sound, drums hitting faster) Boundaries shifting in the dark of the night Holding the line, trying to keep it tight Can anybody hear the noise?! BREAK THE CHAINS! [Chorus] (Explosive, high-energy, emotionally raw anthemic rock) I’m building a fortress out of the scrap! Caught in the crossfire, avoiding the trap! Give 'em my all till there’s nothing left inside Nowhere to run and there’s nowhere to hide! (Hey! Hey! Keep it together!) (Hey! Hey! Nothing lasts forever!) [Verse 2] (Heavy bass groove, sneering and defiant vocal delivery) Fixing the engines, rewriting the code Carrying the world on a broken road No time for tears when there’s mouths to feed Got to be the anchor that they all need But underneath the surface, the metal starts to bend Tell me how much further till the madness ends?! [Pre-Chorus] (Tension rising, aggressive snare rolls accelerating) Boundaries shifting in the dark of the night Holding the line, trying to keep it tight Are you listening?! LET IT OUT! [Chorus] (Explosive, high-energy, emotionally raw anthemic rock) I’m building a fortress out of the scrap! Caught in the crossfire, avoiding the trap! Give 'em my all till there’s nothing left inside Nowhere to run and there’s nowhere to hide! (Hey! Hey! Keep it together!) [Bridge] (Instruments strip back to a heavy, throbbing bassline and dark synth pads, vocals building from a whisper to a desperate scream) Five AM, standing in the cold Trading my time for the stories untold I am the anchor, I am the spine But who’s gonna save this heart of mine?! (Vocal breaks into a full, distorted scream) WHO'S GONNA SAVE ME?! WHO'S GONNA SAVE ME?! [Guitar Solo] (Intense, soaring, emotionally charged alternative rock guitar solo) [Chorus] (Maximum intensity, full band explosion, frantic and triumphant) I’m building a fortress out of the scrap! Caught in the crossfire, avoiding the trap! Give 'em my all till there’s nothing left inside Nowhere to run and there’s nowhere to hide! (Hey! Hey! Keep it together!) (Hey! Hey! Push it faster!) [Outro] (Guitars cut out instantly, leaving only a heavy, isolated heartbeat kick drum) Just keep it together... (A sharp, sudden intake of breath, then silence)
