[Intro: dark piano motif, distorted synth pulse, deep bass, atmospheric pads, turntable scratch] [Male: low baritone, whispered] I know the feeling. That moment before the fall. [Verse 1: Male, low baritone, restrained] There's a number on the screen That I don't recognise There's a message on the table And a look behind your eyes Everybody keeps pretending Like there's nothing left to lose But I can feel the room getting smaller Every time you make your move [Male: rhythmic rap, syncopated delivery] One step, two step, pressure in my chest Everybody's got an answer Everybody knows what's best Red light, green light Tell me when to stop You keep pushing on the limit Till the whole thing starts to lock I don't need another warning I don't need another sign I've been standing at the edge Trying to decide which side is mine [Pre-Chorus: Male, rising intensity] I can feel it coming I can feel it underneath Something's getting closer Something's waking up in me [Chorus: FEMALE ONLY, huge soaring melodic vocal, catchy, layered harmonies] This is terminal I can feel the whole world moving And I don't know where we're going But I know I can't go back This is terminal Every second keeps on burning Every lesson keeps returning Every road is off the map If we're gonna go down Then we're going down together If we're gonna lose it all We can lose it all forever This is terminal But I'm still alive I'm still alive I'm still alive tonight [Post-Chorus: FEMALE ONLY, rhythmic hook] Still alive Still alive Even when the lights go out Still alive Still alive You can hear me screaming now [Verse 2: Male, aggressive rhythmic rap] I've been carrying the weight Like it came with my name Every scar became a reason Every failure fed the flame You can tell me I'm unstable You can tell me I'm insane But I've seen behind the curtain And I'm never going back again No more living in the middle No more waiting for the fall If the system wants a sacrifice Then I won't volunteer at all I've got nothing left to hide I've got nothing left to prove You can take away the pieces But you can't take what I choose [Pre-Chorus: Male, escalating] I can feel it coming I can feel it underneath Something's getting closer Something's waking up in me [Chorus: FEMALE ONLY, huge, soaring, highly melodic] This is terminal I can feel the whole world moving And I don't know where we're going But I know I can't go back This is terminal Every second keeps on burning Every lesson keeps returning Every road is off the map If we're gonna go down Then we're going down together If we're gonna lose it all We can lose it all forever This is terminal But I'm still alive I'm still alive I'm still alive tonight [Instrumental Break: distorted synth hook, dark piano, heavy guitar chugs, deep bass, turntable scratches, syncopated drums] [Bridge: Male, low baritone, stripped piano and bass] Maybe this is where it ends Maybe this is where it starts I've been running from the answer While it was beating in my heart I don't need another exit I don't need another door If I'm standing at the ending Then I'm ready for the war [Breakdown: Male, aggressive baritone, shouted rhythmic delivery] No warning. No mercy. No turning back. You wanted everything. You got the aftermath. One breath. One chance. One final move. If this is terminal Then I've got nothing left to lose. [Final Pre-Chorus: Male, building rapidly] I can feel it coming I can feel it underneath Something's getting closer And it's finally waking me [Final Chorus: FEMALE ONLY, massive, extended, soaring belts, stacked harmonies] This is terminal I can feel the whole world moving And I don't know where we're going But I know I can't go back This is terminal Every second keeps on burning Every lesson keeps returning Every road is off the map If we're gonna go down Then we're going down together If we're gonna lose it all We can lose it all forever This is terminal But I'm still alive I'm still alive I'm still alive tonight This is terminal Hear the sound of something breaking Feel the ground beneath us shaking But I'm standing where I am This is terminal And there's nothing left to save me Nothing left that you can take me Nothing left but who I am If we're gonna go down Then we're going down together If we're gonna lose it all We can lose it all forever This is terminal But I'm still alive I'm still alive I'm still alive tonight [Female: final soaring hook, layered harmonies] Still alive Still alive Still alive tonight Still alive Still alive You won't take me down [Outro: dark piano, distorted synth, bass and scratches fading] [Male: whispered] Terminal doesn't mean finished.
