[Intro - exactly 20 seconds instrumental only] Slow isolated kick drum hits with rapid closed hi-hat tapping cymbals building tension, heavy jangling bass riff enters, multiple layered gritty distorted guitars gradually added one by one with drawn-out riffs and feedback, full band tension rises, no vocals [Verse 1 - 8 lines, distorted gritty lead vocal with whispered layer underneath, building instrumentation] Empty rooms hold my breath No warmth left in these walls Eyes adjust to endless black Heart beats slow in the darkness Fingers trace invisible lines Searching for a spark long gone Silence presses hard against me Nothing but darkness takes me [Pre-Chorus - rising energy, more layered guitars and drums] Pull me deeper into this No resistance left to give Every light I try to chase Flickers out without a trace [Chorus - full band eruption, powerful drums, heavily layered distorted vocals with harmonies and grit] Darkness wraps around my throat Squeezing out the final light No more battles left to fight Just surrender to the night [8-second gritty guitar solo - emotional drawn-out bends, heavy distortion, feedback swell over rhythm section] [Verse 2 - 8 lines, same vocal layering as Verse 1, full rhythm section locked in] Once I chased the fading sun Now I hide from every glow Memories turn to ash and dust Scattered in this endless dusk Voices whisper from the past But they fade before they last I become the fear I hide Darkness is my only host [Pre-Chorus - building again] Pull me deeper into this No resistance left to give Every light I try to chase Flickers out without a trace [Chorus - full intensity, powerful drum lead] Darkness wraps around my throat Squeezing out the final light No more battles left to fight Just surrender to the night [Bridge - raw emotional vocal peak, intense or stripped dynamic shift] My screams find no escape Tears fall without a trace Body numb to every pain Mind adrift in dark domain Something left inside of me Or just darkness in my place [8-second gritty guitar solo - intense raw tone, sustain, bends, building into final chorus] [Final Chorus - maximum layers, erupting powerful drum lead, full band explosion, multi-tracked distorted vocals with screams and thick harmonies] Darkness wraps around my throat Squeezing out the final light No more battles left to fight Just surrender to the night [Outro - instrumental wind-down with short solo fragments, heavy layered guitars and bass, powerful final drum hits and feedback, fading into darkness]
