It Was Never Over

[Verse 1] They bagged the body, tagged the name Said I was just another face Cold steel table, lights above Case closed tight, no more blood They told the world I met my end Another monster buried then They said the nightmare finally died— But no one checked what lived inside [Pre-Chorus] They wrote it off, they sealed the lie But something didn’t stay inside [Chorus] It was never over You just buried me alive You can close the chapter— But I’m still inside It was never over You just needed to believe You don’t kill the nightmare— You just let it breathe [Verse 2] They cleaned the house, erased the stains But ghosts don’t wash out in the rain Every hallway, every room Still echoes like a loaded tomb You walked away, you felt the peace Like fear was something you released But every step you took from me Was just another step I’d see [Pre-Chorus 2] You locked the door, you turned the key But locks don’t mean a thing to me [Chorus] It was never over You just buried me alive You can close the chapter— But I’m still inside It was never over You just needed to believe You don’t kill the nightmare— You just let it breathe [Bridge – darker build] You needed closure You needed peace You needed something To make it cease But you don’t end What you don’t know— You only hide it Where it can grow [Break – stripped, cold] I felt the dirt I heard the prayers I let you think Nobody’s there [Final Chorus – biggest, most aggressive] It was never over I was waiting in the dark Every breath you took away Lit another spark It was never over Now I’m crawling from the grave You don’t get to end me— I don’t stay that way
