[Verse 1 – soft, breathy, soul‑grit] I’ve been living with a voice in my head Saying don’t you move, just play dead But my heart keeps pounding at the cage Every beat just fuels my rage I’ve been drowning in a war I can’t see One side’s hope, the other’s killing me I’m the battleground, I’m the crime And I’m running out of time [Pre‑Chorus – lift] Every thought’s a loaded gun Every heartbeat weighs a ton I can’t tell what I’m fighting for I’m bleeding from my own internal war [Chorus – explosive belt] BRAIN VERSE HEART — they’re tearing me apart [belt, sustain long note] One’s in the dark, one’s reaching for the stars I’m breaking down, I’ve been here before I’m dying slow in this internal war [Verse 2 – rising grit] Every mirror shows a stranger’s face Every truth I’ve known’s been replaced Logic builds the walls to survive But my heart keeps tearing through the lines No cease‑fire, no truce in sight Just a shadow in the dead of night They fight ‘til I’m hollow inside And I can’t pick a side [Pre‑Chorus – lift] Every thought’s a loaded gun Every heartbeat weighs a ton I can’t tell what I’m fighting for I’m bleeding from my own internal war [Chorus – explosive belt] BRAIN VERSE HEART — they’re tearing me apart [belt, sustain long note] One’s in the dark, one’s reaching for the stars I’m breaking down, I’ve been here before I’m dying slow in this internal war [Fast Rap – 50 lines of grief × rage] I’m sick of the silence Sick of the days I can’t find you Every road just winds through Every dream reminds me I lost you The pain hits quick like a sucker punch Doesn’t matter if I flinch, I still feel too much Every laugh we had plays on repeat But the screen cuts black before you speak The clock ticks loud but I can’t move forward Every plan falls down like a house that’s cornered I’m screaming inside, no one hears the sound Trying to keep my feet on this breaking ground You were the map, you were my truth Now I’m lost in the dark without proof I’d give my breath just to hold your hand Stand beside you, take your stand But the world took you, left me here With the weight of the loss and a mind unclear I can’t pray ‘cause my words feel empty And my faith’s just a ghost that tempts me Every sunrise burns like a lie Another day I’m forced to survive The fire inside is the only thing left Burning holes in my chest where my heart once slept I’ll fight ‘til my hands don’t bleed no more But I know this war don’t keep no score Still I run, still I scream For the one who’s gone but lives in my dreams This war is mine, this war is ours It’s carved in my soul like jagged scars No surrender, no retreat I’ll keep fighting even if I’m beat [Bridge – whisper to scream] [whisper] Who will break… who will bend… [soft grit] Will this war ever end? [belt] Or will I drown in the fire inside?! [Final Chorus – max intensity] BRAIN VERSE HEART — they’re tearing me apart [belt, sustain long note] One’s in the dark, one’s reaching for the stars I’m breaking down, I’ve been here before I’m dying slow in this internal war [Outro – fading echo] This war… inside of me… [fade out] Will I ever know… what I’m fighting for…
