[Intro]

[Verse]
A low hum begins to crawl
Beneath the fluorescent pall
My vision starts to blur and fray
Another thought loop leads astray
My jaw is locked, a silent fight
Against the overwhelming night

[Pre-Chorus]
The pulse is quickening, a drum
My senses slowly growing numb
This pressure builds, a crushing weight
Sealing my internal fate

[Chorus]
Static under the skin, a burning fire
My sanity is on the wire
Each nerve a frayed and sparking line
This body's breaking, no longer mine
I try to breathe, to hold it in
But chaos starts to now begin

[Verse]
The orchestra begins to swell
A private, self-created hell
Each violin a piercing cry
As reason starts to bleed and die
My hands are clenched, a rigid fist
Lost in this suffocating mist

[Pre-Chorus]
The choir chants a mournful sound
As pieces shatter on the ground
This tension coils, a venomous snake
For goodness gracious, for pity's sake

[Chorus]
Static under the skin, a burning fire
My sanity is on the wire
Each nerve a frayed and sparking line
This body's breaking, no longer mine
I try to breathe, to hold it in
But chaos starts to now begin

[Bridge]
I wear the mask, I play the part
But inside, I'm torn apart
A symphony of grinding teeth
Above the calm I try to sheathe
The growing storm, the dark design
This crumbling, fragile, state of mine

[Guitar Solo]

[Build-up]
The rhythm falters, then it snaps
Caught in these self-inflicted traps
The orchestra swells, a rising tide
Nowhere left for me to hide

[Chorus]
Static under the skin, a burning fire
My sanity is on the wire
Each nerve a frayed and sparking line
This body's breaking, no longer mine
I try to breathe, to hold it in
But chaos starts to now begin

[Outro]
