BREAKING SILENCE (v.2)

[INTRO]
(static noise)
Can you hear me...
Or am I fading out...

[VERSE 1 — RAP]

I keep waking up
With the static in my head
Every word I never said
Turns to poison in my chest

Another night
Another wall to break through
Everybody talks
But nobody sees you

Cold light flickers
In the cracks of the room
I hear my own heartbeat
Like a march to doom

And I tried so hard
Just to bury the pressure
Smile for the world
While I fall under pressure

[PRE-CHORUS]

I feel it under my skin
Like a fire I can't contain
Every second pulling me in
Till I become the pain

[CHORUS]

I'm breaking down again
Somewhere inside the silence
I hear my name
But it sounds like violence

I gave everything
Just to feel something real
Now I'm standing in the ashes
Of the wounds that never healed

[MUSIC DROP]
(distorted guitars + electronic scratches)

[VERSE 2 — RAP]

Every mirror shows
Somebody I don't know
Same face — dead eyes
Watching me lose control

Voices in the hallway
Echo like ghosts
All the things I loved
Are the things that hurt most

Another scar hidden
Under black sleeves
Another fake breath
Another reason to leave

Everybody wants truth
Till the truth gets loud
Then they turn away
When you scream through the crowd

[PRE-CHORUS]

And the pressure keeps growing
Like a storm beneath my skin
Every door keeps closing
But the chaos pulls me in

[CHORUS]

I'm breaking down again
Somewhere inside the silence
I hear my name
But it sounds like violence

I gave everything
Just to feel something real
Now I'm standing in the ashes
Of the wounds that never healed

[BRIDGE]
(ambient synths + whispered vocals)

Can you hear me now?
Or am I fading out?

I don't wanna be
Another shadow in the dark
Another broken memory
Another empty heart

[scream]
I WON'T DISAPPEAR!

[VERSE 3 — HALF RAP / MELODIC]

I remember who I was
Before the noise began
Before the weight of every failure
Turned me into this man

Maybe there's still something left
Under all these scars
A signal in the distance
Somewhere past the dark

So if I fall tonight
I won't disappear
I'll leave these words behind
So somebody else can hear

[FINAL CHORUS]

I'm breaking down again
But I won't die in silence
Through every scar
I survived the violence

Even if the world
Leaves me buried underneath
I'll keep screaming till the darkness
Finally releases me

[OUTRO]
(static fades)
I'm still here...
I'm still here...
