[Verse 1 – whispered, clean guitar with reverb] I wear this skin like rusted chains, Every heartbeat tastes like pain. Hands once warm now barely move, Touching scars I cannot prove. Silence coils around my chest, Like a prayer that’s lost its breath. I still bleed though I don’t cry, I still live though I don’t try. [Pre-Chorus – soft build] And I ask myself again— Is this living, or pretend? [Chorus – full distortion, anguished vocals] These wounds that never sleep, They echo when I breathe. I fade like dying light, Too tired to stand and fight. If I could feel again, Just one heartbeat without shame— Would I still choose to be Buried inside of me? [Verse 2 – low growls layered with clean vocals] Empty bottles, brittle bones, Rooms filled up with dial tones. Memories like broken glass, Cut me when the daylight cracks. I burned bridges just for warmth, Lost myself in every storm. Now I'm just a hollow throne, Built from sins I call my own. [Pre-Chorus – higher tension] And I scream inside my head— Is it worth it if I’m dead? [Chorus – heavier, double bass kicks] These wounds that never sleep, They echo when I breathe. I fade like dying light, Too numb to make it right. If I could feel again, Just one moment free from pain— Would I still choose this cage, Or let it all erase? [Bridge – atmospheric, minimal drums] There's no crown for the broken, No throne for the ashamed. Only mirrors full of strangers Who still whisper my name. [Breakdown – harsh vocals + drop tuning] Tear me open—let it pour. Maybe I’ll feel something more. Let it hurt. Let it burn. Before I’m past the point of no return. [Final Chorus – slower, crushing, orchestral backing] These wounds that never sleep, Sing me down into the deep. If I could feel again, Would I still choose this end? Or break the spell I’ve kept— And finally forgive myself? [Outro – soft piano + fading vocal] I wear this skin like rusted chains… But I am still here.
