“Live in the Black”
Intro (melodic, slow, heavy) A star wakes up in the dark Cold light on a broken heart Shadows crawl across my back I breathe in the night, I won’t collapse Verse 1 Every memory cuts like steel Every truth you made me feel You were fire in my veins Now I’m standing in the rain Pre‑Chorus (rising energy) But I won’t fade, I won’t break I’ll rise again for my own sake Your ghost still whispers in the cracks But I’m done looking back Chorus (anthem, soaring) You used to love me Now I live in the black But I’m climbing out of the shadows I’m never turning back You tore right through me Left a scar that still attacks But I’m finding strength in the darkness I live in the black Guitar Solo (emotional, melodic) (Imagine wide harmonies, bending notes, 80s vibrato, rising into the final chorus) Final Chorus (uplifting, powerful) You used to love me Now I live in the black But the fire’s burning brighter I’m never turning back You tried to break me But I rose from the attack I found my voice in the silence I live in the black
