Verse 1 (rap / spoken)

I’m counting seconds in a broken frame

Same old guilt, different names

Every promise feels delayed

Every win just feeds the shame

I learned to smile through the damage

Call it strength, call it balance

But the truth keeps leaking out

Through the cracks I try to manage

Pre-Chorus

I built a voice inside my head

Now it won’t let go

Chorus (melodic)

I’m buried under the static

Trying to hear myself think

Every word I never said

Is pulling me to the brink

I keep fighting the panic

Like I’m drowning on dry land

If I lose what’s left of me

Please try to understand

Verse 2 (rap, more aggressive)

I replay moments like a crime scene

Freeze-frame every mistake

They say time heals everything

But it only learns to wait

I tried to bend, I tried to fit

Every mold you handed me

Now I’m stuck between the silence

And the person I should be

Pre-Chorus

I gave my trust too easily

Now it’s choking me

Chorus

I’m buried under the static

Trying to hear myself think

Every word I never said

Is pulling me to the brink

I keep fighting the panic

Like I’m drowning on dry land

If I lose what’s left of me

Please try to understand

Bridge (scream / rap)

Shut it down, cut the sound

I don’t want your sympathy

You built me up just to watch me fall

Then called it “reality”

I tried to run, I tried to hide

But the damage follows me

Every step I take forward

Feels like self-betrayal to me

Break (soft, minimal)

I’m still here

But I don’t feel whole

Final Chorus (bigger, layered vocals)

I’m buried under the static

But I’m forcing myself to breathe

Every scar is proof I carried

More than anyone could see

If I break beneath the pressure

Let the truth fall from my hands

I’m not asking for redemption

Just a chance to understand

Outro

Under the static…
