The World Doesn't Care

[INTRO — WHISPERED] I can see you through the glass... But I can't reach you. Every night, I watch the light disappear. And nobody comes. Nobody fucking comes. [VERSE 1 — LOW, INTIMATE] I trace your shadow through the static, watch it flicker, watch it fade. Another night inside this prison, another promise left unpaid. We built a world without a heartbeat, where the dead still learn to speak. Where every face becomes a picture and every touch is out of reach. I press my hands against the screen, but all I feel is cold. I'm screaming into silence while the whole world carries on. [PRE-CHORUS — BUILDING] How many times can something inside me break before there's nothing left? How much darkness can a human heart contain before it forgets itself? [CHORUS — HUGE CLEAN / SCREAMED LAYERS] ENOUGH!, ENOUGH! I won't disappear! ENOUGH!, ENOUGH! (ENOUGH!) I won't die in here! The whole damn world can turn its back, the whole damn sky can fucking crack. You can bury me beneath the weight, you can tell me that I'm already too late— BUT I'M STILL HERE! I'm still breathing! I'm still bleeding! I'm still fighting through the fucking fear! THE WORLD DOESN'T CARE! BUT I'M STILL HERE! [POST-CHORUS — HEAVY ELECTRONIC PULSE] Still here... Still here..., (Still here...!) [RAP 1 — DARK ELECTRONIC / CONTROLLED] I see the lights but I don't feel alive, watching everybody while I'm barely surviving. Another notification, another empty reply, another fucking night asking myself why. I know these walls, I know this room, I know the silence when it starts to consume. Everybody talks, but nobody hears, everybody watches while I'm drowning in fear. I don't need pity, I don't need your lies, I need one fucking reason not to close my eyes. So let the beat hit, let the pressure rise, I've been dying in the dark with my teeth clenched tight. [VERSE 2 — DARKER] You hide behind another window, safe from everything I feel. While I'm tearing through the silence just to prove that this is real. Every photograph is frozen, every memory wears your face. And every road I try to follow leads me back to the same place. I learned the truth inside the darkness: Nobody hears you when you scream. The world keeps moving without mercy, even when you're falling underneath. [PRE-CHORUS — ESCALATING] So let it come. Let every fucking weight fall down on me. I've lost enough to know that fear doesn't get to bury me. [CHORUS — EXPLOSIVE] ENOUGH!, ENOUGH! I won't disappear! ENOUGH!, ENOUGH! (ENOUGH!) I won't die in here! The whole damn world can turn its back, the whole damn sky can fucking crack. You can bury me beneath the weight, you can tell me that I'm already too late— BUT I'M STILL HERE! I'm still breathing! I'm still bleeding! I'm still fighting through the fucking fear! THE WORLD DOESN'T CARE! BUT I'M STILL HERE! [RAP 2 — POST-METAL STEP RAP / HALF-TIME] [STEP!] Through the ashes, through the noise, through the fucking aftermath. [STEP!] Every scar is every reason I refuse to turn back. You wanted silence? TAKE IT! You wanted weakness? BREAK IT! I've been crawling through the ruins while the whole damn world keeps changing. No saviour. No answer. No hand reaching down. Just blood in my mouth and my feet on the ground. You can lock every door, you can bury every name, but you cannot fucking kill what survived the flame. [STEP!] One more breath. [STEP!] One more fight. [STEP!] If the darkness wants me— MAKE IT FUCKING TRY! [BREAKDOWN — HALF-TIME / POST-METAL SCREAM] YOU WANT THE TRUTH?! HERE IT IS! NO ONE IS COMING! NO ONE IS COMING!, NO ONE IS COMING! (NO ONE IS COMING!) THE WORLD WILL WATCH YOU BREAK AND CALL IT JUST ANOTHER DAY! NO ONE IS COMING! SO I WILL DRAG MYSELF OUT OF THIS FUCKING GRAVE! [ABRUPT SILENCE] ... I thought I was finished. [WHISPER] I was wrong. [FINAL BUILD — CLEAN VOCAL] I've been broken. I've been buried. I've been lost beneath the weight. I've been staring at the darkness wondering how long I could stay. But somewhere underneath the ruins, something still refuses to die. Not hope. Not peace. Just the strength to open my eyes. [FINAL CHORUS — MASSIVE] ENOUGH!, ENOUGH! (ENOUGH!) I WON'T DISAPPEAR! ENOUGH!, ENOUGH! (WHAT THE FUCK!), ENOUGH! (GRAVE) I'M STILL FUCKING HERE! Let the whole damn world collapse, let the heavens split apart. I've got scars across my body, I've got fire in my heart. You can take away my silence, you can take away my sleep. You can drag me through the darkness, you can bury me six feet deep— BUT I'M STILL HERE! I'M STILL BREATHING! I'M STILL BLEEDING! I'M STILL STANDING WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD DISAPPEARS! THE WORLD DOESN'T CARE! I KNOW! I KNOW!, I KNOW! (I KNOW!) BUT I STILL FUCKING STAND! [OUTRO — SCREAM → ABRUPT CUTOFF] I'M STILL— [HARD CUTOFF]
