MY CHAOS, HER CALM

V5

​(Tempo: Fast, driving beat with heavy bass and distorted guitars) ​(Verse 1 - Rap, fast, rhythmic, slightly agitated) Yo, check the rearview, see the smoke and the ash That was me before you, a permanent high-speed crash Every gear was stripped, the engine overheating, My lifeline was a knot that kept on un-completing. I was running from the light, chasing shadows in the dark, A self-destructive fire leaving only its scorch mark. Then you showed up, like a silent, steady hand, Didn't try to fix the wreckage, you just helped me understand That the storm I was living in? It wasn't the weather. It was the walls I built myself, brick by brick, forever. ​(Pre-Chorus - Vocals rise, frantic, a few clean shouts) I was drowning in the static! (STATIC!) Trapped inside the attic! (I'M TRAPPED!) No direction, no traction, just a fading reaction! Gave up on the hope, started severing the rope! ​(Chorus - Screamo/Shouted, full-force, aggressive) Y E A H! ​SHE TORE THE FENCE DOWN! The one I hid behind! SHE REWROTE THE CODE that was choking up my mind! A CATACLYSM OF CHANGE! A beautiful, brutal blow! You CRASHED INTO MY LIFE, and made the flowers grow! I was dead weight sinking, now I'm FIGHTING FOR THE AIR! You're the FINAL SOLUTION to the problem I was! Yeah! I'LL SCREAM IT TIL I'M RAW! My lungs are going numb! YOU'RE THE ONE THAT CHANGED ME! The life I've become! ​(Verse 2 - Rap, slower, more heartfelt, focus on melody and rhythm) I remember the look, the moment I saw your eyes, It was quiet, like the calm that precedes the sunrise. You didn't flinch at the noise, the shaking in my voice, You just gave me the mirror and showed me I had a choice. It's not about being saved, no damsel in distress tale, It's about the anchor you dropped when my ship started to fail. You taught me the difference between passion and rage, Turned the final, blank chapter into the very first page. Now the blood in my veins feels less like fire, more like fuel, 'Cause of you, baby girl, I broke the golden rule: The one that said I wasn't worthy of anything true. But I'm worthy of you. ​(Bridge - Screamo, high-pitched, desperate yet triumphant) I WAS NOTHING! LESS THAN NOTHING! A zero on the line! My reflection was a ghost that refused to shine! BUT YOUR HAND, IT PULLED ME OUT! Right out of the dirt! This isn't just a crush, this is HOW I END THE HURT! I'M ALIVE AGAIN! I'm BREATHING at last! You are the FUTURE that destroyed my past! (DESTROYED MY PAST!) ​(Guitar Solo - Heavy, chaotic yet melodic) ​(Chorus - Screamo/Shouted, full-force, absolutely punishing) Y E A H! ​SHE TORE THE FENCE DOWN! The one I hid behind! SHE REWROTE THE CODE that was choking up my mind! A CATACLYSM OF CHANGE! A beautiful, brutal blow! You CRASHED INTO MY LIFE, and made the flowers grow! I was dead weight sinking, now I'm FIGHTING FOR THE AIR! You're the FINAL SOLUTION to the problem I was! Yeah! I'LL SCREAM IT TIL I'M RAW! My lungs are going numb! YOU'RE THE ONE THAT CHANGED ME! The life I've become! ​(Outro - Rap, slows down, spoken word over fading guitar noise) Yeah... look at the scars. They're still here. But now they're just... history. (Whispered) My chaos... her calm. (Final, echoing scream/shout with a crashing cymbal) I LOVE YOU!
