(Intro – whispered) Every mirror tells a different lie. Every heartbeat counts another goodbye. Verse I I watched the daylight rot into the floor, Measured my worth through cracks inside the walls. Every promise carried rust beneath the paint, Every victory dissolved before my name. I'm growing older in the echo of myself, A silhouette collecting dust upon a shelf. The hands of time don't heal—they only rearrange The shape of every wound until it wears my face. Pre-Chorus If tomorrow steals another piece of me, Will there be enough left to remember who I used to be? Chorus Nevermore. No heaven waiting at the end of the war. Nevermore. Every open door becomes another morgue. I scream until my lungs erase my voice— Silence answers louder than the noise. Nevermore... I've become the ghost I was running from before. Verse II The years collapse like towers made of ash, Photographs dissolve inside my hands. I buried hope beneath a million sleepless nights, Still it claws against the coffin from inside. Every scar became another language, Every breath another borrowed sentence. Tell me— Was I ever alive... Or only surviving the distance? Breakdown Build I refuse... To disappear quietly. I refuse... To let oblivion inherit me. BREAKDOWN (slow, crushing) TEAR— THE CLOCK— FROM THE WALL! LET! IT! FALL! I WON'T BE MEASURED BY THE YEARS THAT KILL! I WON'T BOW! I WON'T BREAK! I WON'T FADE! IF THIS IS ALL THERE IS— THEN I'LL BECOME THE STORM THEY COULDN'T BURY! Final Chorus Nevermore. The end was never standing at the door. It lived beneath my skin from birth. A quiet hunger, a silent curse. Nevermore. No salvation left to search for anymore. If time is the god that carved these scars, Then I'll die with fire inside my heart. Outro (clean, atmospheric) When the last second slips beneath the sea, Don't remember who I was. Remember... I fought the end before it reached me.
