[Intro] [distorted electric guitar chugging, rapid drum fill] [Verse 1] [palm-muted guitar, driving bass] I feel like I'm slipping out of my skin Leaving the body, my soul is streaking Ribcage rattles in protest tries to hold my heart In its prison of bones I'm a wraith without a home, searching for a host Looking like a human, but inside just a ghost [Pre-Chorus] [clean guitar arpeggio enters, drums build with snare rolls] I can't find the ground I keep falling down [Chorus] [full distorted guitars, open hi-hats] I'm drowning in air Too much in my lungs and my mouth won't shut Shut up, shut up The words in my brain talking, talking away Don't care what they say But they echo like a crowd in a chasm falling down Down, down [Verse 2] [bass and drums continue, guitar drops to sparse stabs] I am just a whisper, anger repressed Lost without direction, withering in my chest I was mistreated and I didn't stand up Now it's here with me, years later, still fucking me up [Pre-Chorus] [building intensity, vocal grit increases] Too late to scream Too loud to dream [Chorus] [heavy power chords] I'm drowning in air Too much in my lungs and my mouth won't shut Shut up, shut up The words in my brain talking, talking away Don't care what they say But they echo like a crowd in a chasm falling down Down, down [Bridge] [half-time feel, melodic guitar lead] I haunt myself in silence I carry every bruise No one ever saw the violence [vocal fry scream] But I still bear the proof [Chorus] [maximum volume, layered vocal harmonies] I'm drowning in air Too much in my lungs and my mouth won't shut Shut up, shut up The words in my brain talking, talking away Don't care what they say But they echo like a crowd in a chasm falling down Down, down, down, down, down [Outro] [sustained guitar feedback, final drum hit]
