CATASTROPHE [INTRO — haunting piano, distant heartbeat, whispered vocals] Catastrophe… My heart keeps breaking, Another piece of me. Your soul keeps on aching, But you won’t ever let me leave. I tried to give the past away, But it keeps calling out my name. Every memory pulls me back, Every scar still feels the same. I keep pretending I’m okay, But I’m barely holding on. I wear this mask across my face, Like nothing ever went wrong. And every time I close my eyes, I feel you underneath my skin. I keep trying to escape you, But somehow you always get back in. [VERSE 1 — dark, emotional] I gave away my innocence, I gave away my trust. I watched another part of me Turn slowly into dust. I tried to bury everything, I tried to let it die. But all the things I never said Still scream behind my eyes. You left me with the aftermath, A ghost without a name. Now every mirror shows a girl Who doesn’t look the same. [PRE-CHORUS — building] I can’t put this mask away, It’s stitched into my face. I’ve worn it for so long I can’t remember who I was before the pain. [CHORUS — huge] CATASTROPHE! My heart keeps breaking apart! CATASTROPHE! You left me covered in scars! Your soul keeps on aching, Mine is bleeding through. I tried to save everybody— But who the hell saves me from you? If the broken doll is left forgotten, If nobody cares when she falls, I’ll stop waiting for somebody To come and save me from it all. CATASTROPHE! Let everything burn tonight! If I’m already broken— I’LL SET THE WHOLE WORLD ALIGHT! [VERSE 2 — darker, heavier] Porcelain underneath my skin, Cracks running through my bones. Every room is getting colder, Every place feels like a ghost. I hear your voice inside my head, Even when you’re nowhere near. You disappeared from my life, But somehow you still live here. I tried to be the perfect girl, The one you wanted me to be. But every piece I gave away Took something else from me. [PRE-CHORUS — Natalia / Violet] NATALIA: Tell me, am I still alive? VIOLET: Or just a shadow wearing skin? NATALIA: I keep trying to escape— VIOLET: But you keep pulling me back in. BOTH: The stitches keep on tightening, The cracks are spreading wide. If this is what you left me with— Then let the broken girl survive. [CHORUS — heavier] CATASTROPHE! My heart keeps breaking apart! CATASTROPHE! You left me covered in scars! Your soul keeps on aching, Mine is bleeding through. I gave you every piece of me— Now I’m taking it back from you! If the broken doll is left forgotten, Then let her rot where she falls. She spent her whole life begging For somebody to hear her call. MELODY — SCREAM: NO ONE CAME! NATALIA: So I stopped waiting! MELODY — SCREAM: NO ONE CARED! NATALIA: So I’ll become the nightmare! [BREAKDOWN — crushing guitars, distorted bass, heartbeat] No one left to save me. No one left to care. I screamed until my lungs gave out— AND NOBODY WAS THERE! You wanted the mask. You wanted the smile. You wanted the girl Who would stay for a while. But you broke the doll. You cut every thread. Now look at the monster You’ve created instead. MELODY — SCREAM: BREAK! NATALIA: THE! VIOLET: MASK! ALL: OFF! [POST-BREAKDOWN — eerie silence] My heart keeps breaking… Another piece of me… But maybe broken pieces Can become something you fear. [FINAL CHORUS — cinematic, massive] CATASTROPHE! My heart keeps breaking apart! CATASTROPHE! But I’m rebuilding the scars! Your soul keeps on aching, But I won’t carry it too. I spent my life trying to save you— NOW I’M SAVING ME FROM YOU! If the broken doll is left forgotten, Then let the whole damn world forget. I’ll turn every shattered piece Into something you regret. No more mask across my face, No more pretending I’m okay. You took enough of me already— YOU DON’T GET THE REST OF ME! CATASTROPHE! [OUTRO — whispered, fading] My heart keeps breaking… Another piece of me… Your soul keeps on aching… But you won’t ever— let me leave. So if the broken doll is forgotten… Maybe she was never meant to be saved. Maybe she was meant to break.
