[Verse 1] He hits the floor and something’s gone Not the sound, just who he was Eyes still open, nothing home Like he left before it cut They don’t stop, they don’t stare Just step around the shape I feel the room decide for me This is how it plays [Pre-Chorus 1] Count the breaths Lose the count Blood too loud Heart won’t shut up Every second stretches thin My pulse is crawling out of skin [Verse 2] He’s smiling wrong, riding the rush Laughs like pain’s a game Chest out, daring anyone To blink or look away Talks too fast, jokes too loud Like noise can keep him safe I can tell he’s holding on By acting unafraid Adrenaline makes heroes sloppy Makes lies sound true I don’t know if he believes it But he believes something to [Pre-Chorus 2] Metal’s cold Time’s a joke Every thought Ends in choke If I blink Do I miss it If I breathe Do I give in [Chorus] Spin the chamber, pass the weight Fate’s got hands and it won’t wait Stare it down, don’t let it see Which one of us is breaking free Say it loud, say it clean You can’t kill me, not like this Hold the line, bite the doubt Pull the trigger, black it out Click. [Post-Chorus – After] Air comes back but nothing’s right Relief doesn’t live here My heart doesn’t celebrate It just runs harder The room exhales, I don’t Still stuck inside the after Surviving once Doesn’t end the matter [Final Chorus] Spin it again, don’t look away Luck’s not loyal, it just delays Every stare cuts just the same Every breath still tastes like flame Say it again, dare the void Empty round, paranoid Not dead doesn’t mean okay Just means we’re still in play [Outro – Unresolved] No escape, no final scene No answers carved in certainty Just a question burning through Everything we’re about to do Do we make it?
