[Spoken Intro] [Static and vinyl crackle] [Heavy chugging guitar riff] It's not a choice. [Instrumental Hook] [Dark Atmospheric Synth Pad] [Verse 1] [Male Lead Vocal Only] [Style: Gritty, Intimate, Masculine] A sea of broken glass reflects the morning grey Another sunrise trying to wash the guilt away You call it a choice, like I'm picking a side But you don't see the place where I have to hide It’s not for the high, it’s to quiet the pain Just to keep the blood flowing through every vein [Pre-Chorus] [Male Lead Vocal] [Backing: Distant Ethereal Texture] You look at me and you turn away "Just stop," is all you ever have to say But this isn't a whim, it's a debt I must pay The disease keeps me breathing today [Chorus] [Huge Drop: Heavy Rhythmic Riffs] [Chorus - Full choir, soaring harmonies] [Backing: High-Pitched Atmospheric Choir] One more fall, it’s a sickness, not a dream Lost in the echoes, a silent hollow scream This weight I carry, it’s crushing me inside In this dark corner, where hope and reason hide It's not a choice when the anchor is rust It’s the only thing keeping my head above dust [Verse 2] [Male Voice Only - Dry and Aggressive] The whispers follow, you judge from the shore While I’m out here drowning, just screaming for more You see a failure, a choreographed show But you don’t see the illness that’s starting to grow I don’t use to feel good, I use to feel nothing Just to stop the internal engine from crushing [Pre-Chorus] [Male Lead Vocal] [Backing: Faint Ethereal Hum] I try to climb, to break these heavy chains But you see a choice while I’m dying in vain [Bridge] [Atmospheric breakdown] [Male Lead Vocal - Vulnerable] [Backing: Lush Atmospheric Choir Layer] The walls are closing, the air is getting thin You call it a sin, but it’s where I begin I reach for a hand, but you pull it back fast Because you don’t think that this hunger will last [Instrumental Break] [Heavy rhythmic breakdown, scratching effects, aggressive energy] [Chorus] [Final Climax: High intensity, wall of sound] [Male Lead Vocal dominating] [Backing: Massive Ethereal Texture] One more fall, it’s a sickness, not a dream Lost in the echoes, a silent hollow scream This weight I carry, it’s crushing me inside In this dark corner, where hope and reason hide It's not a choice when the anchor is rust It’s the only thing keeping my head above dust [Outro] [Sudden silence, fading electronic hum] (Spoken) It's survival. [Final guitar feedback trail] [End]
