[genre: late 90s / early 2000s nu metal + dark alternative metal + emotional groove metal] [vocals: unstable emotional male vocals, whispered verses, cracked melodic hooks, sudden angry screams, rhythmic scat sounds, raw vulnerable delivery] [guitars: downtuned 7-string groove riffs, thick syncopated chugs, eerie clean intro, dissonant harmonics, melodic layered leads, emotional solo near the end] [bass: loud punchy bass tone with groove-focused movement and subtle slap influence] [drums: hip-hop inspired groove drumming, tight snare cracks, bouncing kick patterns, heavy cymbal accents] [atmosphere: depressed, stagnant, emotionally exhausted, lonely apartment feeling, dark MTV-era energy] [production: gritty analog warmth, wide stereo guitars, thick low end, slightly dirty mix, haunting vocal layering] [arrangement: soft eerie intro → groovy emotional verses → massive hook chorus → heavy breakdown → melodic emotional guitar solo → fading melancholic outro]

Lyrics
time keeps crawling through the walls
same room
same ceiling
same excuses
everybody moves on…
except me
[Verse]
wake up late
same dead stare
same damn stain in the carpet there
same cold food
same tv glow
same fake smile that i always show
days blur black
weeks disappear
i blink once and another year
everybody climbing out alive
while i rot here just trying to survive
[Pre-Chorus]
and i know
i know
i know i should move
but my feet sink deeper every time
[Chorus]
time keeps moving
i stay still
watching life get swallowed whole
everybody passes through me
like i’m already gone
i waste away
more every day
another face beneath the wheel
they step over me like broken glass
and i let them
[Post-Chorus]
still here
still numb
still nothing
[Verse]
friends moved on
got married fast
pictures smiling from a better past
new houses
new lives
while i decay somewhere inside
i tried to scream
nothing came out
just static filling up my mouth
the mirror shakes when i look away
like even i don’t wanna stay
[Bridge]
i keep waiting for a moment
some big change
some big sign
but the world keeps spinning without me
and maybe…
maybe it always will
[Breakdown]
STAND STILL
FADE OUT
STAND STILL
FADE OUT
every second digs the hole deeper
i can feel the years inside my bones
[Final Chorus]
time keeps moving
i stay still
watching life erase my name
everybody walks right through me
like i never changed
i waste away
more every day
another shadow in the hall
they step over me like broken glass
and i let them
[Outro]
everybody moved on…
except me
