[Intro – clean electric guitar, muted drums building] Low hum Breath in Teeth clenched Another day loading [Verse 1 – restrained vocals, tight groove] Takes all my energy To just stay sane This world’s the wildest place I’ve ever been They teach me every single day How I don’t belong It’s like I’m the only one who sees this going on [Pre-Chorus – tension build, bass pushing] They say “sit down” They say “behave” Smile for the screen Call it okay But every nerve in me Is screaming “no” If this is normal I don’t want home [Chorus – full band, hard rock hit] Am I the only one awake? While everyone sleeps through the flames I shout but the walls just shake Like truth is something we can mute and tame If I’m wrong then show me why But don’t sell fear and call it safe If seeing clear is my mistake Then I’ll be the only one awake [Verse 2 – heavier guitars, confident vocal] Static rain inside my head Every headline tastes like dread They sell tomorrow like a drug Then wonder why we can’t get up You tell me “trust the plan” But won’t explain Why it always breaks the same [Pre-Chorus – darker, backing vocals] They paint the cage They dim the lights Say “don’t look up” Say “don’t ask why” But I can feel the pressure rise You can’t gaslight open eyes [Chorus – bigger, anthemic] Am I the only one awake? While everyone sleeps through the flames I shout but the walls just shake Like truth is something we can mute and tame If I’m wrong then show me why But don’t sell fear and call it safe If seeing clear is my mistake Then I’ll be the only one awake [Bridge – breakdown, half-time, raw vocals] Maybe I’m tired Maybe I’m scared Maybe I’m done pretending I care If fitting in Means losing me Then I’d rather stand Uncomfortably [Build – drums rolling, guitars rising] Hands over ears Eyes on the floor How long can we ignore? [Final Chorus – maximum impact] Yeah I’m the only one awake I see the cracks I feel them break You can’t unsee What you outgrow I won’t unlearn What I now know If this costs peace I’ll pay the price I’d rather burn than live disguised If seeing clear is my mistake Then I’ll be the only one awake [Outro – guitars ringing, drums drop out] [half-spoken] Wide eyes No sleep Still here Still breathing
