Tension Wire

[Start] [Instrumental Intro – urgent violin melody over chugging guitars, tension rising like a held breath] [Verse 1 – breathless, teetering on the edge] Every step feels like a crack in the ice, One wrong shift and I’m lost in the white. Every word’s got a blade at the tip, One slip, and I’m bleeding from the lip. Hands shake, lungs run dry, City lights flicker like exit signs. Tied to a fate I don’t wanna claim, Burning out fast, still feeding the flame. [Hook – sharp, cutting, the moment before the snap] Tension wire, stretched too tight, Pull too hard and it snaps tonight. [Chorus – soaring violin meets crushing guitars, desperate release] I can’t breathe, I can’t move, I can’t fight it! Tied down, locked up, trapped inside it! Running in place while the walls close in, Same old cycle, same old sin. [Verse 2 – weight builds, every word pulling tighter] Promises hang like smoke in the cold, Held in my chest, never let them unfold. Staring through glass at a world that moves, Chasing a ghost in the shape of my youth. I swear I’ll change, I swear I’ll try, I swear I won’t let this swallow my life. But the weight don’t lift, and the clocks don’t stop, And I’m still on edge, just waiting to drop. [Hook – repeated, violin rising like a siren] Tension wire, stretched too tight, Pull too hard and it snaps tonight. [Chorus – even heavier, layered screams and cleans] I can’t breathe, I can’t move, I can’t fight it! Tied down, locked up, trapped inside it! Running in place while the walls close in, Same old cycle, same old sin. [Bridge – fast, high-energy, teetering between control and collapse] Clock hands spin, but the days stay hollow, Weight on my chest, too heavy to swallow. Tell me I’m fine, tell me I’m right, Tell me again while I lose this fight. [Instrumental Breakdown – violin screeches against low, chugging guitars, chaos builds] [Final Chorus – desperation peaks, final scream into fading violin] I can’t breathe, I can’t move, I can’t fight it! Tied down, locked up, trapped inside it! Running in place while the walls close in, Same old cycle, same old sin. [Outro Instrumental – violin plays a haunting, unresolved melody as the song fades] [End]
