[Verse 1]
Checked the clock, it’s 3 AM again
Tracing patterns where the ceiling meets the pen
I’m a master of the things I never said
Just a tenant in the attic of my head
The ghosts are getting louder in the hall
I’m building up a logic just to watch it fall
You’re a signal that I’m trying to ignore
But I’m still pacing on the floorboards by your door.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Drums drop out for a second, leaving just a shimmering synth pad and a vocal harmony)
And the room starts spinning in a different light
Yeah, we’re losing the rhythm to the weight of the night...
[Chorus - High Energy Drop]
(Massive, fuzzed-out bass kicks in. Fast, rolling snares and crashing cymbals. High-pitched, melodic synth leads soar over the mix.)
So tear it all down, leave the wreckage in the street
I’m running on a heart that’s skipped a dozen beats
We’re caught in the friction, we’re paying back the debt
To every single memory we haven't broken yet!
Oh-oh, gravity is pulling on the line
Oh-oh, I’m running out of reasons to be fine!
[Verse 2]
(Drums stay fast, but the bass gets grittier. Rhythmic vocal delivery, almost breathless.)
Blurry faces in a frame I used to know
I’m a firework that’s waiting for the snow
You can have the crown, I’ll take the open road
Anything to lighten up this heavy load
It’s a long way down from the pedestal you built
I’m drowning in the water, I’m drowning in the guilt
But the drums keep hitting like a hammer on the glass
Waiting for the moment that I finally let it pass.
[Pre-Chorus]
And the room starts spinning in a different light
Yeah, we’re losing the rhythm to the weight of the night...
[Chorus - Drop]
So tear it all down, leave the wreckage in the street
I’m running on a heart that’s skipped a dozen beats
We’re caught in the friction, we’re paying back the debt
To every single memory we haven't broken yet!
Oh-oh, gravity is pulling on the line
Oh-oh, I’m running out of reasons to be fine!
[Bridge]
(Half-time breakdown. The drums switch to a heavy, stadium-rock stomp. Distorted power chords ring out.)
Stop the clock, let it breathe for a second
I’m a wreck, I’m a ghost, I’m a lesson
Stop the clock, let it breathe for a second
(Vocal builds into a scream)
I’M STILL HERE IN THE WRECKAGE!
[Final Chorus - Maximum Energy]
(Double-time drums, layers of synths, and aggressive, anthemic vocals)
Tear it all down, leave the wreckage in the street
I’m running on a heart that’s skipped a dozen beats
We’re caught in the friction, we’re paying back the debt
To every single memory we haven't broken yet!
Oh-oh, gravity is pulling on the line
Oh-oh, I’m running out of reasons to be fine!
[Outro]
(The high-energy drums suddenly cut out. The original clean guitar riff returns, echoing into a long, spacious reverb.)
Gravity’s debt...
I’m fine.
(Sound of a single, distant synth note fading to silence)
