Intro (ambient synth + muted guitar)

Heartbeat in the speakers,

Static in my head —

Footsteps in the hallway,

But I’m not done yet.

Verse 1

Clock hands moving like they own me,

Cold voice saying “come slowly,”

Shadow at the edge of my light,

Knocking every single night.

I plug my ears but feel the sound,

Like gravity pulling me down,

I shout back at the dark instead —

“You picked the wrong soul to claim,” I said.

Pre-Chorus

You talk like fate is already written,

Like I should quit and just listen—

Chorus (big, catchy, danceable)

I CAN’T DIE — I won’t die!

Hey, hey — not tonight!

You can call me, I won’t reply,

Hey, hey — I choose life!

I don’t wanna hear your claim,

Don’t wanna play your game,

But your whisper knows my name —

Still I’m running toward the flame!

Drop (EDM hook + chant)

Hey — hey — I won’t fade away!

Hey — hey — I’m here to stay!

Verse 2

You stand there dressed like certainty,

Talking like you’re part of me,

Saying “Rest now, stop the fight,”

But I still burn too bright.

Every breath a small rebellion,

Every step a loud opinion,

I may hear you — that is true,

But I don’t belong to you.

Pre-Chorus

Your voice is loud inside my mind,

But louder still — my will to rise.

Chorus (bigger)

I CAN’T DIE — I won’t die!

Hey, hey — not tonight!

You can call me, I won’t reply,

Hey, hey — I choose life!

I don’t wanna hear your claim,

Don’t wanna wear your chain,

You can knock but I won’t break —

I’m still dancing through the quake!

Bridge (half-time, emotional)

If I must hear you — I’ll answer strong,

Not with fear — but with my song,

You’re a door I won’t walk through,

I’ve got too much left to do.

Final Chorus (anthem)

I CAN’T DIE — I won’t die!

Hey, hey — hear my cry!

Not today — not my time,

Hey, hey — I’m alive!

You can stand beside my road,

You can speak in heavy tones,

But you don’t get to decide —

I’m still here — I won’t die.

Outro (soft synth fade)

Footsteps fading from the hall…

I’m still breathing — after all.
