[Intro — whispered, slow, Ghostemane vibe] I don't sleep no more... I don't dream no more... I just bleed no more... (breath) ...I'm the door. [Verse 1 — Ghostemane flow, spoken/whispered, building] I drew a circle in the dirt with a stick, Wrote my name in the middle, then I cut my lip. Something answered from the other side of the wall, Said: "Boy, you been waiting for me to call." I don't pray to no god, I don't beg no priest, I just feed on the fear, I'm the beast of the east. I got ghosts in my blood, I got dirt in my lungs, I got twenty-one demons and they all speak in tongues. [Pre-Chorus — building, raspy] I don't wanna wake up. I don't wanna stay. I don't wanna make up. I just wanna fade. (pause) ...but I'm still here. [Chorus — Scarlxrd vibe, shouted, aggressive, repetitive] I CAN'T DIE! (I CAN'T DIE!) I CAN'T BREAK! (I CAN'T BREAK!) I'VE BEEN BURIED SIX FEET, BUT I'M STILL AWAKE! I CAN'T DIE! (I CAN'T DIE!) I CAN'T FALL! (I CAN'T FALL!) I'VE BEEN SCREAMING SO LOUD, BUT YOU HEAR ME NOW? [Verse 2 — Scarlxrd flow, fast, angry, shouted] I BEEN LIVING IN A NIGHTMARE SINCE I WAS A KID! EVERY TIME I CLOSE MY EYES, I SEE THE THINGS I DID! I DON'T NEED NO THERAPY, I NEED A FUCKING EXORCISM! I DON'T NEED NO SYMPATHY, I NEED A FUCKING PRISON! I BEEN RUNNING FROM THE VOICES, BUT THEY LIVE IN MY SKIN! I BEEN TRYING TO BE NORMAL, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN! SO I SCREAM! (SCREAM!) TILL MY THROAT BLEEDS! (BLEEDS!) TILL THE DEMONS IN MY HEAD FINALLY GET WHAT THEY NEED! [Pre-Chorus — raspy, quieter] I don't wanna wake up. I don't wanna stay. I don't wanna make up. I just wanna fade. (pause, whisper) ...but I'm still here. [Chorus — Scarlxrd vibe, shouted, aggressive] I CAN'T DIE! (I CAN'T DIE!) I CAN'T BREAK! (I CAN'T BREAK!) I'VE BEEN BURIED SIX FEET, BUT I'M STILL AWAKE! I CAN'T DIE! (I CAN'T DIE!) I CAN'T FALL! (I CAN'T FALL!) I'VE BEEN SCREAMING SO LOUD, BUT YOU HEAR ME NOW? [Breakdown — instrumental, heavy, then silence] (distorted 808, tremolo guitar, ritual drums) (beat stops — only breath) [Bridge — Ghostemane vibe, spoken, reverb, slow] I met the devil in a parking lot. He asked me for a cigarette. I said: "I don't smoke no more." He said: "I know. I just wanted to talk." He told me I was gonna be somebody. He told me I was gonna die alone. He told me I was gonna be a legend. (whisper) ...and then he left me in the cold. [Verse 3 — both vibes mixed, building rage] I AM THE GHOST! (GHOST!) I AM THE SCAR! (SCAR!) I AM THE THING THAT YOU SEE IN THE DARK! I AM THE RITUAL! (RITUAL!) I AM THE BLOOD! (BLOOD!) I AM THE FLood THAT YOU CAN'T STOP! I AM THE DEMON! (DEMON!) I AM THE SON! (SON!) I AM THE WAR THAT YOU NEVER WON! I AM THE END! (END!) I AM THE START! (START!) I AM THE BULLET THAT GOES THROUGH YOUR HEART! [Chorus — final, shouted, slower but heavier] I CAN'T DIE! (I CAN'T DIE!) I CAN'T BREAK! (I CAN'T BREAK!) I'VE BEEN BURIED SIX FEET, BUT I'M STILL AWAKE! I CAN'T DIE! (I CAN'T DIE!) I CAN'T FALL! (I CAN'T FALL!) I'VE BEEN SCREAMING SO LOUD, BUT YOU HEAR ME NOW? [Outro — whispered, fading, Ghostemane vibe] I don't sleep no more... I don't dream no more... I don't bleed no more... (whisper) ...I'm the door. (single distorted bass drop) (silence)
