[INTRO – rain, distant bullying voices, mono audio] (soft clean voice) Black… White… No colour left inside my eyes… (children laughing distort into static) “Freak.” “Psycho.” “Why you always alone?” (heartbeat begins) [VERSE 1 – rap/scream hybrid] I walk these halls like a ghost in the snow Cold lungs, dead nerves, nowhere to go Every mirror say the same damn thing “You ain’t worth love, you ain’t worth anything” Bruises underneath my hoodie sleeves Teachers never notice when I bleed Everybody talks but nobody sees The war in my skull when I cannot breathe World look grayscale, ash in the sky Every fake smile just another lie Tried to scream but my throat went numb So I learned how to rot without making a sound (build begins) And every night got heavier chains Static in my chest and acid rain Thought the dark was all life gave— [CHORUS – huge melodic metalcore hook] BUT THEN I SAW A SUNFLOWER IN THE DEAD BLACK DIRT Guarded by a wolf with silver fur Blue eyes sharp like they knew my pain Like they’d seen every scar inside my brain HE GROWLED LOW — LIKE “DON’T YOU DARE COME CLOSE AGAIN” But I saw myself inside his rage Two broken souls in the freezing rain [POST-CHORUS – dubstep drop] (filthy wobble bass / screamed layers) BLACK — WHITE — STATIC BLACK — WHITE — STATIC (growl) “NO COLOUR LEFT—” (drop slams) UNTIL THE FLOWER BLOOMED IN ME [VERSE 2 – aggressive metal rap] Dog chained tight by invisible fear Same as me for all these years He circled that flower like life support Protecting hope like it’s something you abort Teeth bared hard when I stepped too near Pain recognize pain crystal clear So I sat real still in the pouring cold While the wind screamed truths nobody told Days passed slow Then weeks went by Clouds still hanging in my mind But every morning he’d be there Sunflower dancing in polluted air And little by little The grey sky cracked Like light fighting its way back [PRE-BREAKDOWN – reggae groove] (clean/reggae vocal with echo guitar chops) He let me closer… One step at a time… No words between us… Just healing in silence… The flower leaned toward the sun… And maybe so did I… [BREAKDOWN – brutal halftime] (bass drop + gutter growls) HE LET ME TOUCH THE SUNFLOWER (CHUG CHUG) AND ALL THE COLOURS CAME BACK (dubstep screech) RED FOR THE BLOOD I SURVIVED BLUE FOR THE TEARS I HID GOLD FOR THE LIGHT INSIDE BREAK THE BLACK BREAK THE WHITE BLEGHHHH [BRIDGE – emotional clean section] Now the clouds don’t look so permanent Now the silence don’t feel infinite That husky showed me wounds can heal Even broken hearts are still real I used to pray for the world to end Now I just wanna see tomorrow again [FINAL CHORUS – massive melodic ending] I SEE COLOUR RUNNING THROUGH MY VEINS After all the years of endless rain That sunflower still fights through concrete cracks Just like us coming back from black AND THE HUSKY HOWLS AT THE MORNING SKY Like he knows we survived the night Two lost souls learning how to live In a world that finally feels alive [OUTRO – soft piano + distant howl] (whispered) The world was never black and white… I just forgot how to see… (single sunflower sways in wind)
