STILL WE RISE (feat. SI:REN)

[VERSE 1 – VE:NOM – male vocal – low, controlled, intimate rhythmic delivery] Bruised but not broken — still steady Words left unspoken — but ready Time left, world open — I’m ready To take take back what’s mine — if they let me Meticulous It’s ridiculous Most days I’m still a perfectionist But I rise above I’m limitless I don’t live by your syllabus ⸻ [VERSE 2 – SI:REN – female vocal – calm, grounded, clear but restrained power] I didn’t rise from the ashes No more rose-colored glasses We integrated — not reborn No more second chances When I rise, you will match We’re healed — but a part of us torn ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS – VE:NOM & SI:REN – soft harmony, breathy, almost whispered] Even if we fall We stand up Low lights Late nights We don’t run [VE:NOM – quiet, resolute] I don’t answer to anyone but myself [SI:REN – steady, affirming] I don’t put the old me back on the shelf ⸻ [CHORUS – BOTH – whispered mantra, minimal instrumentation] Still we rise Still we rise Low lights Long nights Still we rise Bruised — but alive No disguise Side by side Still we rise ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS – BOTH – slightly wider stereo, layered but not loud] Still we rise Still we rise Low lights Long nights Still we rise Bruised — but alive No disguise Side by side Still we rise ⸻ [OUTRO – BOTH – stripped instrumental, beat fading, soft counter-melody underneath] Still we rise Into the night Still we rise
