[Verse 1 – quiet, brittle clean guitar] I walked into your light, Thinking I could disappear. Your world was made of silver words, Mine was rust and fear. Every mirror cuts my skin, Shows the fractures deep within. And I’m choking on the truth— I was never meant for you. [Pre-Chorus – tension rises, drums enter] Why does your smile Feel like a funeral hymn? [Chorus – explosive, distorted guitars + harsh / clean vocals] ’Cause I’m out of place, I don’t belong here. I’m the crack in the glass, You pretend not to see. I’m out of place, A ghost in your atmosphere— I would tear off my skin Just to feel like I’m real. [Verse 2 – low-tuned guitars, restrained aggression] You shine like sacred fire, And I’m crawling in the ash. I tried to learn the way you breathe, But I break with every gasp. I don’t want to fade away, But I don’t know how to stay. You touch the stars with steady hands, I just sink into the sand. [Pre-Chorus] Why does your voice Feel like a distant prayer? [Chorus – heavier, layered harmonies + screams] ’Cause I’m out of place, I don’t belong here. I’m the blood on the page That no one wants to read. I’m out of place, A fracture in your sphere— I would carve out my heart Just to know I’m alive. [Bridge – soft + haunting] If I were holy, if I were pure, Would you let me through your door? If I could steal a different face, Would I finally earn this place? [Breakdown – drop-tuned, guttural vocals] Break me. Replace me. Build me from your light. Erase me. Deface me. I’ll never be what’s right. [Final Chorus – orchestral backing, soaring clean + screams] I’m out of place, I don’t belong here. Just a shadow in the crowd That no one ever sees. I’m out of place, Still begging to draw near— I would burn in your sun Just to feel like I’m real. [Outro – single clean guitar note fading into static] I was never real.
