WHY? (Intro – whispered, dark… then explosion) Why… Why does the dark feel more like home than the light? Why do I run… …when I can see the sun? (Heavy guitars hit) ⸻ Verse 1 (rhythmic / battle-rap flow) My soul is tired— not the kind that sleep can fix, not the kind that fades away when the morning finally hits. I search the sky for a spark, just a flicker, just a sign, something bright enough to pull me from the corners of my mind. But everywhere I look— shadows. Every step I take— followed. Like darkness learned my name and now it wears my face. And every time I try to run… it meets me in the same damn place. ⸻ Pre-Chorus (building emotion) And now I’m starting to embrace it… The silence… the cold… The emptiness inside me is starting to feel old… But somehow… it feels like home. ⸻ Chorus (big melodic + screams) WHY?! Why do I keep going back to the shadows in the black? When I could open up the windows, let the sunlight hit my back— WHY?! Why does loneliness feel safe? Why does darkness know my name? Why do I keep turning back when I know I could change? Tell me why… Tell me WHY?! ⸻ Verse 2 (harder, more aggressive) The sun I used to love now burns against my skin. The laughter all around me feels like noise I can’t let in. So I pull the curtains down, shut the whole world out. If light is where life lives— why am I full of doubt? I walk away from everyone, from voices, love, and hope… And somehow in the silence I learn exactly how to cope. With ghosts. With scars. With pieces torn apart. With the part of me that never left the dark. ⸻ Breakdown (screamed) WHY DO I FEEL ALIVE WHEN EVERYTHING IS DEAD?! WHY DOES THE DARKNESS FEEL SAFER IN MY HEAD?! I SEE THE LIGHT— I KNOW IT’S THERE— SO WHY THE HELL DO I NEVER GO THERE?! ⸻ Final Chorus (bigger, emotional) Why do I belong where no light ever stays? Why do I keep choosing these empty, hollow days? I could laugh… I could heal… I could step into the light… So why… why do I always run back into the night?
