[guitars explode, double kick enters] [CHORUS — clean + heavy guitars] We are here, Standing in the fire of our choices, Holding on to something that feels Closer than the pain. Tell me what we need if not this moment. Tell me what we need if not this love. [VERSE 1 — low growl + whisper doubles] The world is full of twisted little lies, And every day I see the cracks get deeper. You say I’m wrong, but I can see it in your eyes — You’re terrified of truth, but I’m the truth‑keeper. [guitars tighten, drums double-time] Everyone around us slowly losing sanity, And we will join them if we wait another second. Your gentle stare cuts through my vanity — I try to fight it, but the feeling is a weapon. [PRE‑CHORUS — rising scream] SCREAM: DON’T YOU FEEL IT BURNING? [CHORUS — full metal arrangement] We are here, Standing in the fire of our choices, Holding on to something that feels Closer than the pain. Tell me what we need if not this moment. Tell me what we need if not this love. This love — We don’t need anything above it. This love — We don’t need anything above it. [BREAKDOWN — Slipknot‑style, syncopated chugs] [growl] NOTHING! NOTHING! NOTHING ABOVE IT! [guitars drop to low F#, drums half‑time] [VERSE 2 — added for extra heaviness] Your breath is like a spark against my skin, A violent hymn that drags me into madness. We fall apart, then pull together once again — A cycle made of chaos, rage, and sadness. [clean vocal rises behind growl] You hold me like a chain around my heart, But I don’t fight — I crave the weight you’re giving. We’re too alive to tear this world apart, Too dead inside to call this “normal living”. [SCREAM OVERLAY] SCREAM: WE ARE THE BROKEN BEAUTIFUL! [CHORUS — final, massive, layered] We are here, Standing in the fire of our choices, Holding on to something that feels Closer than the pain. Tell me what we need if not this moment. Tell me what we need if not this love. This love — We don’t need anything above it. This love — We don’t need anything above it. [FINAL BREAKDOWN — ultra heavy] [growl, long, layered] WE… NEED… NOTHING… ELSE! [OUTRO — feedback, metallic echoes] [guitar feedback fades, heartbeat‑kick]
