[verse 1]
I drag the chains of every word I never said,
Silent wounds screaming underneath my skin.
A heart so fractured it bleeds in crooked lines,
Begging for a reason just to feel alive again.
The mirror shows a ghost with a pulse fading thin,
A soul collapsing under everything I’ve been.
I reach for hope but it slips like smoke,
And I c***e on the truth I can’t outrun.
[pre-chorus]
Why does every heartbeat feel like a funeral drum?
Why does the weight of the world feel carved in my lungs?
[chorus]
Tear me open—let the sorrow pour,
Let the world see what I’ve been bleeding for.
I’m not okay, I’m not alright,
But I’ll claw through the dark if it means I survive tonight.
[verse 2]
Storms of regret ripple through my veins,
Each memory a shard of glass I can’t escape.
I scream at the sky just to feel something back,
But the heavens stay silent, cold, and black.
Nothing hurts more than the truth you hide—
The w*r inside that no one else can f***t.
But even broken bones can rise again,
Even shattered hearts can b**t like thunder.
[chorus]
Tear me open—let the sorrow pour,
These scars are proof that I’ve been here before.
I’m not okay, but I won’t give in,
I’ll crawl through fire just to breathe again.
[breakdown 1 — slow & crushing]
[scream: LOW GUTTERAL]
I AM THE WRECKAGE—
BUT I’M STILL STANDING.
[scream: MID-FRY]
BREAK THE CHAINS—
LET THE PAIN COME CRASHING.
[scream: SUBTERRANEAN]
I WON’T DIE WITH THIS ACHE IN MY CHEST—
I’LL TURN MY GRIEF INTO STRENGTH.
(pause)
[scream: LONG FINAL ROAR]
LET THE EARTH
FALL...
AROUND...
ME....
[breakdown 2 — even slower, darker]
[scream: LOW BREATHY]
THE SILENCE AFTER SCREAMING
IS LOUDER THAN THE PAIN…
(slow chug)
[scream: GUTTERAL]
EVERY TEAR I SWALLOWED
COMES BACK
ASTONE.
(heavy spaced hits)
[scream: DUAL LAYER]
I’M DROWNING IN THE VOID
I BUILT INSIDE MYSELF.
[scream: MID DESPERATE]
BUT I’LL DRAG MY HEART
OUT OF THE DARK
EVEN IF IT KILLS ME.
(feedback)
[scream: SUBHARMONIC FINAL ROAR]
THIS BROKEN SOUL
WILL
RISE.
[outro]
Even in the dark,
Even buried in the storm,
A shattered heart
Can still be reborn.
