[Intro – Instrumental only] [Dark clean guitar harmonics, reversed electronic textures, distant heartbeat, distorted bass slowly rising] [Verse 1 – VOICE A ONLY: Deep baritone male rapper, dry nasal timbre, tight percussive flow, restrained frustration, no singing] You stopped halfway through a sentence Like you already knew how this would end I heard myself becoming someone I once swore I'd never be again I brought a week of anger into one small kitchen You were trying to listen, I was looking for a villain Every little question sounded like another fight Every harmless word became a reason to ignite You didn't pull the trigger, didn't light the flame But somehow when the smoke cleared, you were carrying the blame [Pre-Chorus – VOICE B ONLY: Higher gritty tenor, vulnerable melodic singing, rising intensity] I can hear the silence falling Where your laughter used to be And the hardest thing to live with Is what you never did to me [Chorus – VOICE B ONLY: Explosive raspy melodic vocals, huge emotional hook, heavy distorted guitars] YOU WERE NEVER MY ENEMY! BUT YOU TOOK THE HARDEST HIT! I WAS FIGHTING WITH MY HISTORY AND YOU GOT CAUGHT IN IT! COLLATERAL DAMAGE! I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR EYES! I CAN'T UNBREAK THAT MOMENT BUT I CAN LEAVE THE WAR BEHIND! [Post-Chorus – Instrumental] [Massive syncopated guitar riff, electronic scratches, pounding drums] [Verse 2 – VOICE A ONLY: Faster aggressive rhythmic rap, sharper articulation, emotional tension] I remember how you waited when I couldn't find the words How you gave me all your patience when I gave you something worse I kept saying I was tired, kept pretending it was stress Like a reason for the anger made the damage hurt you less Now I see the little changes, how you hesitate to speak How you measure every sentence like the floor beneath is weak I was scared of being broken, so I built another wall Never saw that you were standing where the pieces had to fall [Pre-Chorus – VOICE B ONLY: Raspy emotional melodic singing, building desperation] I can hear the silence falling Where your laughter used to be And the hardest thing to live with Is what you never did to me [Chorus – VOICE B ONLY: Huge soaring rock vocals, powerful sustained notes] YOU WERE NEVER MY ENEMY! BUT YOU TOOK THE HARDEST HIT! I WAS FIGHTING WITH MY HISTORY AND YOU GOT CAUGHT IN IT! COLLATERAL DAMAGE! I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR EYES! I CAN'T UNBREAK THAT MOMENT BUT I CAN LEAVE THE WAR BEHIND! [Bridge – All heavy instruments cut out, isolated guitar harmonics and distant electronic heartbeat] [VOICE A ONLY – Low intimate whispered rap] You don't owe me forgiveness You don't owe me another day An apology means nothing If I never change my ways I can put down the anger I can learn to hear you speak I can face the things that haunt me Without making you feel weak [VOICE B – Emotional melodic singing building into raw screams] YOU WERE NEVER THE REASON! YOU WERE NEVER TO BLAME! [VOICE B – Full desperate scream] I WON'T TURN MY FEAR INTO YOUR PAIN! [Breakdown – Instrumental only] [Crushing down-tuned guitars, brutal half-time drums, distorted bass, glitching electronic samples] [VOICE A – Aggressive shouted rap] BREAK THE PATTERN! BREAK THE CHAIN! [VOICE B – Explosive scream] DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN! [Final Chorus – VOICE B ONLY: Massive emotional climax, soaring gritty tenor, layered harmonies and heavy guitars] YOU WERE NEVER MY ENEMY! BUT YOU TOOK THE HARDEST HIT! I WAS FIGHTING WITH MY HISTORY AND YOU GOT CAUGHT IN IT! COLLATERAL DAMAGE! I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR EYES! I CAN'T UNBREAK THAT MOMENT BUT I CAN LEAVE THE WAR BEHIND! [Outro – Heavy instruments fade, original clean guitar motif returns] [VOICE B – Soft exhausted melodic vocals] You were never my enemy... I just couldn't see... [End – Guitar harmonics fading
