I Watch Me Burn
A dark alt-pop / electropop track with pulsing sub bass, warm analog pads, tight mid-tempo drums, and sparse plucks. Intimate yet powerful female vocal; layered harmonies in the chorus and subtle octave doubles in the final. Structure: Intro–Verse–Pre–Chorus–Chorus–Verse–Pre–Chorus–Chorus–Bridge–Final Chorus–Outro. Key: D minor (alt: A minor). BPM: 96. Character: haunting, emotive, dramatic; no festival EDM energy, keep it intimate and cinematic.

Lyrics
Match lit, flame takes hold,
Watch myself lose control.
Can't look away from the show,
How it starts, how it grows.
Every choice feeds the fire,
Every breath pulls me higher.
I watch me burn, I watch me burn,
From the outside looking in.
As everything turns to smoke and sin,
I watch me burn, I watch me burn.
Empty glass on the floor,
Same mistakes as before.
Know the path that leads me down,
Still I walk this broken ground.
Every choice feeds the fire,
Every breath pulls me higher.
I watch me burn, I watch me burn,
From the outside looking in.
As everything turns to smoke and sin,
I watch me burn, I watch me burn.
Tried to run from my own skin,
But the flames, they follow me.
What I've done, what I've been,
Floating ash is all I see.
I watch me burn, I watch me burn,
From the outside looking in.
As everything turns to smoke and sin,
I watch me burn, I watch me burn,
I watch me burn…
