[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1 – Rap] I’m staring at the ceiling, eyes bloodshot, still awake, Clock flashing 4 AM, no sleep, just heartache. I scroll through my phone, but there’s no one to call, Just voices in my head lining up against the wall. I pour another drink, hope it drowns what I feel, But the buzz makes it worse—it just keeps it real. My reflection’s a stranger I can’t recognize, I talk tough, but the doubt’s got me paralyzed. I keep running from the wreckage in my chest, Like I’m dodging every truth, leaving lies unconfessed. But no matter how far I try to run, I’m always back where I started from. [Pre-Chorus – Sung] I keep falling, I keep crawling, Through every mirror that keeps me stalling. I tell myself to let it go, But I can’t seem to lose control. [Chorus – Sung] I’m breaking down, breaking slow, Waging wars in my head that you’ll never know. I’m screaming out, but there’s no sound, Every step I take, I get dragged back down. I keep pushing, but I’m losing ground, Fighting the same fight, getting spun back around. No matter how I scream or shout, I can’t seem to back down. [Verse 2 – Rap] There’s a crack in the mirror, I can’t look in my eyes, ‘Cause every glance shows the part of me I can’t disguise. I’m clenching my fists till the knuckles turn white, Gripping air like it’s something that I gotta hold tight. I keep chasing closure with my arms stretched wide, But it slips through my fingers, leaves me empty inside. I could fill up a notebook with the battles I’ve lost, Every page a reminder of the lines I’ve crossed. I’m still carrying the weight of my own past, Tied to my ankles, pulling me back fast. I try to cut loose, but it’s stitched in my skin, Every time I let go, it pulls me back in. [Pre-Chorus – Sung] I keep falling, I keep crawling, Through every mirror that keeps me stalling. I tell myself to let it go, But I can’t seem to lose control. [Chorus – Sung] I’m breaking down, breaking slow, Waging wars in my head that you’ll never know. I’m screaming out, but there’s no sound, Every step I take, I get dragged back down. I keep pushing, but I’m losing ground, Fighting the same fight, getting spun back around. No matter how I scream or shout, I can’t seem to back down. [Bridge – Rap/Sung Blend] [Soft singing over a raw rap verse, emotional tension builds] I light another smoke, watch the ashes fall, Like pieces of me breaking off, barely holding at all. I let the ember burn slow, let it flicker and die, Kinda fitting—how it mirrors what I feel inside. I trace old scars with a vacant stare, Like proof that I was somewhere, but never really there. I try to fake the strength, wear it like a mask, But the cracks still show when the light hits the glas [Chorus – Sung] I’m breaking down, breaking slow, Waging wars in my head that you’ll never know. I’m screaming out, but there’s no sound, Every step I take, I get dragged back down. I keep pushing, but I’m losing ground, Fighting the same fight, getting spun back around. No matter how I scream or shout, I can’t seem to back down. [Post-Chorus – Sung] Back down, back down, No matter how I run, I keep falling down. Back down, back down, No matter how I fight, I hit the ground. [Outro – Rap/Sung Blend] I can’t seem to back down, No matter how I scream or shout, I keep falling, I keep crawling, And I still can’t back down. [Fade-out] [Instrumental slowly fades with atmospheric synths and faint vocal echoes]
