[Intro] (Low heartbeat. Deep cello drones. Distorted wind ambience.) (Choir breathing softly like exhausted lungs.) [Spoken] Can you hear it...? No... Listen closer. It's underneath the skin. [Verse 1 - Serious Rap] I woke up with a fever that nobody could see. The sickness wasn't growing inside me— it was growing inside us. Steel in the bones. Smoke in the lungs. Concrete climbing where the heartbeat used to run. Every scar we called progress. Every warning we called bad luck. Funny... We never noticed the disease had learned our own names. [Pre-Chorus - Epic Choir] The oceans cried. The forests bled. The sky turned black. And still we asked— "Who did this?" [Chorus 1 - Powerful Vocal & Choir] When one heart stops, none of us survive. There is no victory inside a dying body. Your breath. My blood. One rhythm. One life. We're not trapped with each other. We are trapped inside each other. [Verse 2 - Emotive Rap] Maybe... if I'd heard your pain before it sounded like my own... I'd have fought beside you, not against you. I'd have guarded the rivers in your veins. I'd have kept the air inside your chest clean enough for both of us to breathe. Instead... we kept building our own funeral. One brick... at a time. [Chorus 1 - Powerful Vocal & Choir] When one heart stops, none of us survive. There is no victory inside a dying body. Your breath. My blood. One rhythm. One life. We're not trapped with each other. We are trapped inside each other. [Bridge - Rising Intense Rap] I blamed you. You blamed me. We called it justice. We called it survival. But every wound returned to the same body. ... Tell me... How do you win a war against yourself? (Orchestra Build-up) [verse 3 - emotional rap build up] We fed the fire every time we wanted more. We sold tomorrow just to survive today. We kept celebrating while the pulse grew weaker. By the time we noticed... the heartbeat was ours. [Final Chorus - Grand Orchestra & Choir] If this heart still beats... let it beat for all of us. Let pain become wisdom. Let scars become memory. Before the last light fades, remember... we never shared the same world. We always shared the same body. [Outro - Soft Vocal & Fading Choir] (Orchestra fades. Only heartbeat and choir remain.) If only... we had remembered sooner... that your lungs were breathing inside me. [Whisper] We were never enemies. We were one. [fade voice] We were one.
