Stalemate
slow post-grunge with heavy dark trap elements, emotional male vocals, heavy guitars, minimalistic verses, slightly bigger chorus, tired and existential tone

Lyrics
Verse
i'm waking up with regret
that it's still not over yet
another day brings more of the same
it keeps restarting all over again
nothing left to lose
and nothing more to give
and what i'm left with
is the absence of a will to live
Chorus
it's a stalemate in my head
too tired for life
but not dead just yet
treading water in a frozen sea
and the ghost of who i was
keeps staring back at me
Verse
no matter where i look
it looks all the same
an all consuming sea of grey
and a never ending mental rain
no words, just heavy, empty sighs
and a question boiling in my mind
the same old nagging 'why'
Pre-Chorus
why am i here,
what's all this for
why keep breathing,
when i don't want this anymore?
Chorus
it's a stalemate in my head
too tired for life
but not dead just yet
treading water in a frozen sea
and the ghost of who i was
keeps staring back at me
Bridge
the ceiling is low, the walls are thin
i can’t tell where the room ends and i begin
no fight left in me, no words left to pray
just watching the colors all blend to grey
i'm reaching for a hand that isn't there
suffocating in the weight of heavy air
Final Chorus
it's a stalemate that i can't escape
no more hope in my heart
just stumbling towards fate
the gears are stuck, the clock is dead
the same old walls inside my head
no exit sign, no open door
i can't take this anymore
Outro
it's a stalemate...
over and over and over again
the ending starts where it began
...
