[intro – heartbeat awakening]
[drums – low kick pulse like a heart monitor]
[guitars – muted pulse riff synced to kick]
[synth – low sub throb, static hiss]
[guitars – distant feedback swells left to right]
[no vocals, only breathing layered under the beat]
[gradual build for 2 minutes, adding distorted harmonics and rising noise]

[verse 1 – rant layer one]
the pulse won’t stop
it keeps talking to me
it keeps saying nothing matters
(i matter)
it keeps saying everything matters too much
(it doesn’t)

i complain to the walls
and the walls complain back
they echo my words
but twist them into teeth
(you chose this)
(i didn’t choose this)

i scream into the room
the room screams louder
it tells me i’m quiet
(it says you’re loud)
it tells me i’m nothing
(it says you’re everything)

[verse 2 – counter voices rising]
my hands shake with static
my brain hums like broken wires
(i hear you)
(no you don’t)

i’m angry at the floor
for being beneath me
i’m angry at the ceiling
for being above me
(you’re just angry)
(i’m not angry, i’m alive)

the beat inside me mocks me
tick tick tick tick
it says keep going
(i don’t want to)
it says stop
(i can’t stop)

[pre-chorus – layered chaos]
[guitars – rising dissonant chords]
[vocals – whispers stacking in stereo]
they argue with me
they argue with each other
they argue with silence
(the silence wins)

[chorus – heartbeat scream]
[pulse riff intensifies]
scream at nothing
nothing screams back
complain at the void
the void files a complaint
(i’m right)
(you’re wrong)
(you’re both wrong)
(i’m the only real thing here)

the metal heartbeat laughs
it doesn’t care
it just keeps time
(you’re running out)

[verse 3 – fragmented rant]
i hate the sound of thinking
i hate the sound of not thinking
(i hate the sound of you)
(i am you)

my thoughts argue in circles
my circles argue in squares
geometry of misery
(you like this)
(i hate this)
(you like hating this)

i talk to ghosts
they talk back in compression artifacts
they glitch when they laugh
(we’re not real)
(we’re more real than you)

[bridge – breakdown argument]
[drums – half-time heartbeat, sub drops]
[guitars – crushing low chugs with noise layers]
everything is wrong
(everything is fine)
nothing is fine
(nothing is real)
i want silence
(silence wants you)
i want noise
(noise already owns you)

[solo section – long chaotic solo]
[guitar solo – dissonant bends, tremolo picking, whammy dives]
[second guitar – counter-melody screaming harmonics]
[bass – distorted pulse doubling kick]
[synth – glitch stutters and tape-stop effects]
[vocals – distant rants layered under solo]

i argue with the beat
the beat argues with my skull
(i’m your master clock)
(i’m your malfunction)

[outro – heartbeat decay, long instrumental]
[drums – heartbeat slowing gradually over 3 minutes]
[guitars – ambient feedback, reverse delays, fading pulse riff]
[synth – low drone collapsing into noise floor]
[occasional whispered phrases drifting through the mix]
(keep going)
(stop)
(keep stopping)
(go nowhere faster)

the heartbeat finally stutters
then glitches
then loops forever in silence
