chorus

[Intro – distorted guitar riff, steady drum beat] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – gritty rhythm guitar, muted bass] The clock ticks loud through empty halls Shadowed walls hear my quiet calls Each breath feels like a heavy load I carry weight that won’t let go [Pre-Chorus – building guitar layers, rising vocal tension] The world feels like it’s closing in But I can feel a fire begin Burning bright beneath the skin I won’t let the dark pull me in [Chorus – full band blast, soaring vocals] Every day is getting harder My bones are getting weaker Anxiety grips the heart like a vice of steel My pain grows deeper and deeper This man of steel won’t let it beat me I’ve got the strength of a bull The rising grit of a man with the soul like the waves from the roaring sea [Verse 2 – softer guitar arpeggios, gentle drum shuffle] I stare at cracks in the bedroom wall Recall the days I stood tall Now the weight’s a constant storm But I won’t let it steal my form [Pre-Chorus – swelling guitar, urgent vocals] The cold wind howls outside my door But I won’t beg, I won’t implore I’ll stand my ground, I’ll take the floor I won’t let the dark ask for more [Chorus – layered vocals, heavier guitar distortion] Every day is getting harder My bones are getting weaker Anxiety grips the heart like a vice of steel My pain grows deeper and deeper This man of steel won’t let it beat me I’ve got the strength of a bull The rising grit of a man with the soul like the waves from the roaring sea [Solo – blistering electric guitar, reverb-drenched] (Instrumental Solo) [Bridge – stripped-back acoustic guitar, vulnerable vocals] I stumble, fall, and scrape my knees But I’ll push through the broken ease The storm may rage, the night may last But I’ll outlast the fading past [Final Chorus – full band, maximum intensity, gang vocal harmonies] Every day is getting harder My bones are getting weaker Anxiety grips the heart like a vice of steel My pain grows deeper and deeper This man of steel won’t let it beat me I’ve got the strength of a bull The rising grit of a man with the soul like the waves from the roaring sea [Outro – fading guitar strum, soft vocal hum] I’ll keep on standing, keep on fighting My soul’s still burning, still bright
