[Intro – Ambient/Atmospheric with Distant Screams and Droning Synths] [Soft piano over distorted pads, a ticking clock fades in] [Spoken (filtered)]: “I tried to leave it all behind, but it followed me home...” [Verse 1 – Clean Vocals, Moody Instrumental, Lo-fi Filtered Drums] I wear my trauma like a crown of thorns Buried deep in my digital tomb Every mirror just reflects the war Another ghost in a hotel room Numb to the needle, deaf to the sirens I pray, but I choke on silence This ain’t survival, it’s just compliance And I’m so sick of suffering in silence [Pre-Chorus – Rising Tension, Half-Screamed/Clean Mix] I lit the match, but I’m scared of the flame I built a cage, then forgot my name I’m falling faster with no parachute And every “I’m fine” was never the truth [Chorus – Explosive, Anthemic, Clean Vocals with Harmonies] Take what’s left of me Burn it down and set it free Ashes in the shape of me Can you love what you can’t see? I’m not okay — but I’m still breathing This hell feels strangely healing So take what’s left of me And maybe I’ll believe [Verse 2 – Screamed Vocals Over Djent-Style Riff, Glitchy Samples] I’ve been dancing with my demons Tongue-tied, bleeding for a reason Every scar’s a souvenir From a past I keep reliving here Burn the bridge and salt the earth If I’m reborn, what's that worth? You can’t kill what’s already cursed And I’ve rehearsed this final verse [Breakdown – Guttural Screams, Downtuned Guitars, Industrial Drums] “YOU CAN’T SAVE ME — I DON’T WANT TO BE FOUND!” My heart's a tomb with no way out “YOU CAN’T SAVE ME — DON’T MAKE A SOUND!” Let me rot in the fallout [Bridge – Atmospheric Interlude, Spoken + Clean Vocals] [Soft ambient guitar with distant static, heartbeat pulse] I keep wishing on black stars Cursed with hope, stitched with scars Is this redemption or surrender? Or am I just a slow suicide pretender? [Final Chorus – Full Instrumentation, High-Octave Vocal Layering] Take what’s left of me Burn it down and set it free Ashes in the shape of me I still dream of who I used to be I’m not okay — but I’m still breathing This pain might be revealing So take what’s left of me And make it mean something [Outro – Fading Synth, Whispered Vocals, Melancholy Guitar Loop] “If I fade tonight, will the stars even notice?” “I was just trying to feel real…”
