Not Good Enough

Lyrics

[Intro - ominous synth pulses, distant distorted guitar feedback, building tension]
Quiet storm behind the eyes
Heartbeats counting down the lies
Hands are shaking, can’t rewind
Every second feels like mine

[Verse 1 - glitchy EDM beat, gritty rock guitar riffs, low male vocals with heavy reverb]
I’m wearing smiles that don’t belong
The mask is cracking, can’t stay strong
Voices whisper I’m too far gone
In the mirror, nothing’s wrong

[Pre-Chorus - tension-building synth swell, sidechained bass, layered harmonies]
Running circles in my head
Chasing ghosts I never met
Heart is pounding, lungs are lead
I’m the only one who’s left

[Chorus - explosive drop, massive distorted bass, anthemic rock guitars, shouted group vocals]
Not good enough, not good enough
The panic hits and I can’t get up
Not good enough, not good enough
I’m breaking down while the world moves on

[Verse 2 - dark glitch breaks, aggressive distorted guitars, pitched-up female backing vocals]
Every “try” turns into doubt
The fear is screaming way too loud
I keep pretending I’m not allowed
To fall apart when no one’s around

[Bridge - stripped-back, pulsing bass and distant guitar echoes, vulnerable male lead]
I hide the cracks beneath the skin
Afraid the light will let them in
If I’m not perfect, where do I begin?
The silence answers, “Never again”

[Drop / Final Chorus - massive bass, heavy rock drums, distorted layered vocals, chaotic energy]
Not good enough, not good enough
The panic swallows every word I say
Not good enough, not good enough
I’m fading fast but I can’t look away
