[Verse 1: Slow, heavy guitar riff with a melancholic tone, bass drum pulsing like a heartbeat] I'm staring at the cracks in the ceiling Fingers tracing scars that won't heal Every breath feels like it's stealing The last of what I used to feel (Oh, I'm fading, I'm fading) This weight in my chest won't let go A shadow that only I know [Pre-Chorus: Distorted guitar swells, vocals raw and pleading] I scream, but the silence is louder My heart's caving under the powder [Chorus: Soaring melody, heavy drums crash, strings faintly weeping in the background] I'm breathing my last, can't hold on The light in my soul is long gone (You're slipping away, away) I'm drowning in dreams that won't last This pain is my anchor, too vast (Breathing my last, my last) [Verse 2: Guitar softens, palm-muted rhythm, bass carries a mournful pulse] The mirror shows a stranger's face Eyes hollow, no saving grace I claw at the air, but it's thinning Each step feels like I'm not winning (Oh, I'm breaking, I'm breaking) The world spins, but I'm standing still This emptiness I can't unfill [Pre-Chorus: Guitar builds again, vocals more desperate, layered harmonies] I scream, but the silence is louder My heart's caving under the powder [Chorus: Explosive, with layered vocals and a heavier guitar lead] I'm breathing my last, can't hold on The light in my soul is long gone (You're slipping away, away) I'm drowning in dreams that won't last This pain is my anchor, too vast (Breathing my last, my last) [Bridge: Quiet, clean guitar arpeggios, vocals soft but trembling, building intensity] I wanted to fly, but my wings are torn Carried the weight since the day I was born (Oh, hold me, don't let me fall) The cold creeps in, it's claiming my fight But I still search for a spark in the night (Save me, save me) [Breakdown: Heavy, chugging riff, double bass drum, vocals raw and screamed] Why does it hurt to keep breathing? This heart won't stop bleeding! I'm reaching, but nothing's there! (Nothing's there, nothing's there!) I'm falling, I'm lost in despair! [Final Chorus: Full band, strings swell, vocals powerful yet broken] I'm breathing my last, can't hold on The light in my soul is long gone (You're slipping away, away) I'm drowning in dreams that won't last This pain is my anchor, too vast (Breathing my last, my last) [Outro: Soft piano, fading guitar feedback, vocals whispered, haunting] I'm breathing my last... (Oh, I'm fading, I'm fading) I'm breathing my last... (Gone, gone, gone) [Song fades with a single, lingering piano note and distant reverb]
