Am I breathing- [SSC4, USA]

[Intro: Slow guitar riff with crashing waves in the background] [Verse 1: Whispered, breathy vocals] The air I breathe depends on machines Mind clouded with things, not what they seem I ache to be free from cords and wires I could do it, but my lungs are liars (My lungs are liars) [Echoed whisper: "Liars..."] [Chorus: Build up with heavy drums, female vocals with slight distortion] Am I breathing or just existing? Are these machines really assisting? Can I find freedom is this my fate? Or am I just learning how to wait? [Adlib: Breathless "Wait... wait..."] [Verse 2: Lo-fi effect, pulsing synth in background] Every second feels like too late Routine s that I can't escape Screens blink cold , a slow release If I were weaker I could turn them off with ease [Adlib: Soft beeping sound, like a heart monitor] [Verse 3: Raw vocals, stripped back instrumentals] Dreams fade to the reality I grasp The scars hidden, but they leave their rasp My thoughts dissolve into dust as I stare at the wall Failing heart begins to fall [Adlib: Heavy breathing] [Bridge: Echoed vocals, building intensity] I catch the hush after whispers fade Hiding truths from me every day Tears fall on an ache so plain I don't know how to end this pain (How do I end this pain) (Pain) (Is it too late) [Adlib: Echoed whisper "Too late..."] [Chorus: Full band, crashing thunder] (Repeat chorus) [Verse 4: Intense vocals, heavy guitar] Hope clings on, stubborn and scarred Each breath a battle, but I'm pushing hard Life's a mess, but I'm not giving in Still, these machines make my skin crawl thin [Adlib: Gasping breath] (makes my skin crawl) [Chorus: Full intensity, all elements combined] (Repeat chorus) [Outro: Fading instruments, focus on vocals and waves] [Adlib: "Am I breathing?" (echoed)] [Adlib: "Just existing..." (whispered)] [Fade out with sound of crashing waves and a faint, steady beep] (I could do it, but my lungs are liars) [instrumental pause] [Verse 4 ] I catch the hush after whispers fade Hiding truths from me every day Tears fall on an ache so plain I don't know how to end this pain (How do I end this pain) (Pain) (Is it too late) [Adlib: Echoed whisper "Too late..."] [Chorus: Full band, crashing thunder] (Repeat chorus) [Verse 5 Intense vocals, heavy guitar] Hope clings on, stubborn and scarred Each breath a battle, but I'm pushing hard Life's a mess, but I'm not giving in Still, these machines make my skin crawl thin [Adlib: Gasping breath] (makes my skin crawl) [Repeat Chorus: Full intensity, all elements combined] [Outro: Fading instruments, focus on vocals and waves] [Adlib: "Am I breathing?" (echoed)] [Adlib: "Just existing..." (whispered)] [Fade out with sound of crashing waves and a faint, steady beep] (I could do it, but my lungs are liars) [Fade to a slow END] [End}
