[Intro] [heavy distorted guitar riff, building tension, drums fade in gradually] [Verse 1] [restrained, low register, intimate, bass and sparse clean guitar only] Same corridor again Same walls The same old fear I'm spinning inside myself Dissolving disappearing here Each day's a copy of the last I'm choking in the quiet sound Is this me Or just a shadow Pinned against the ground? [Pre-Chorus] [drums kick in, layered guitars build, rising intensity] Enough I've hit the floor But even floors hold weight I'm done keeping score This isn't death It's where I start I'm setting fire To every part [Chorus] [full band explosion, powerful belt vocal, driving heavy palm-muted riffs, anthemic] I'm choosing me — not you not this Not your love that burned without a kiss Vicious circle — I'm breaking the glass I don't need your warmth I'm free at last I'm not a backup not a name on your list I'm the first and only — try me I exist I'm choosing me — for good for real I'm burning bridges This is how I heal [Instrumental Break] [heavy riff, feedback, tension release, drums punching] [Verse 2] [more aggressive than verse 1, fuller arrangement, vocal with edge and bite] The mirror doesn't recognize The one who's standing there I chased somebody else's «yes» Dissolved into thin air Approval tenderness a glance Just crumbs from someone's feast And inside? Inside — a fire I starved myself the least [Pre-Chorus] [building swell, layered distortion, drums intensify] I'm done I don't need your court Your rules your terms They all fall short Disappointment's not the end I feared It's a brand-new zero Watch me I've appeared [Chorus] [full power, driving rhythm, heavy and anthemic] I'm choosing me — not you not this Not your love that burned without a kiss Vicious circle — I'm breaking the glass I don't need your warmth I'm free at last I'm not a backup not a name on your list I'm the first and only — try me I exist I'm choosing me — for good for real I'm burning bridges This is how I heal [Bridge] [stripped bare, clean guitar arpeggios, whispered fragile vocal, vulnerable and exposed] Learning to love Not for «what» But just because Of «who» Not for the wins Not for the role For every scar I wandered through [silence, single heartbeat] I'm not the end [pause] I'm where it all begins [Build] [drums slowly re-enter, distortion swells massively, tension rises to breaking point] [Final Chorus] [maximum intensity, all instruments full force, vocal at absolute peak power, anthemic and triumphant] I'm choosing ME — not you not THEM! Not your wrecking love not your requiem! Vicious circle — I'm BLASTING the glass! My own heat's enough — I'm whole at last! I'm NOT AN OPTION! I'm the CHOICE! The LIGHT! I'm the first name spoken There's no second sight! I'm choosing me — FOREVER more! I'm here I'm standing I'm what I'm fighting for [Outro] [heavy riff decays slowly, feedback rings, final massive drum hit, ring out into silence]
