[Intro – Distorted Whisper] I can’t feel it anymore… It’s crawling under my skin… [Verse 1 – Tense, restrained] Pressure building in my veins Every mirror screams my name Static crawling through my head I’m wide awake but feel half dead Every breath is razor thin Every thought is caving in I try to fight, I try to stand But I’m sinking in quicksand [Pre-Chorus – Rising tension] I’m so sick of the silence Sick of swallowing pain If I scream will it break this chain? [Chorus – Explosive scream] SHUT ME UP — I’M LOSING CONTROL TEAR ME DOWN — I’M OUT OF MY SOUL I’M SO DONE WITH THE VOICES INSIDE BURN IT OUT — LET IT ALL COLLIDE I’M FED UP — I’VE GIVEN ALL I CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHO I AM [Verse 2 – Half screamed / intense] Walls are closing in again Every whisper sounds the same I can’t separate the truth From the damage in my youth Heartbeat pounding like a gun Counting down to what I’ve become If there’s a light I can’t see Maybe it was never meant for me [Pre-Chorus – More aggressive] I’m so sick of pretending Sick of playing sane If I break will I feel no pain? [Chorus – Bigger, layered screams] SHUT ME UP — I’M LOSING CONTROL TEAR ME DOWN — I’M OUT OF MY SOUL I’M SO DONE WITH THE VOICES INSIDE BURN IT OUT — LET IT ALL COLLIDE I’M FED UP — I’VE GIVEN ALL I CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHO I AM [Breakdown – Slow, crushing, rhythmic] (half scream / rhythm) Let it break Let it break Let it BREAK (full scream) I CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE [Final Chorus – Highest intensity 15second, sustained scream] SHUT ME UP — I’M LOSING CONTROL TEAR ME DOWN — I’M OUT OF MY SOUL I’M SO DONE WITH THE VOICES INSIDE (hold scream) INSIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE
