why

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - sparse acoustic guitar, fragile whisper vocals, faint rain SFX fading in]
She stumbles in like a storm cloud crashin'
Hurts everyone she touches, leaves 'em slashin'
Tries so damn hard to fix the wreckage inside
But the mirror just laughs, says "girl, you lied"

[Pre-Chorus - building strings, shaky breathy harmonies, rising tension]
Burns every bridge, apologizes in tears
Men forgive once, but they smell the fears
Never good enough, why even try?
Screamin' at the sky, "why am I alive?"

[Chorus - explosive full band crash, raw screamed vocals with distortion, pounding drums]
Why am I fightin' when everybody's gone?
The one who stays, I can't hold on
The other's slippin', can't reach that hand
Why can't I just be normal, like they planned?
Fuckin' up everything, the weird mess girl
Reason we can't have nice things in this world
Homeless, high, no job, hell's my chain
Failure of life, drownin' in pain

[Verse 2 - glitchy lo-fi beats, pitched-down vocals, echoing ad-libs, trap hi-hats creeping in]
Mental health wreckage from a past straight from hell
Everyone she loves? She rings the death knell
They abandon or betray, leave her bleedin' out
Can't breathe, can't wake, wanna scream and shout

[Pre-Chorus - intensified synth swells, layered desperate cries, heartbeat pulse]
People claim they care, but ghosts when I call
Never there when the darkness starts to crawl
Can't end it, won't fight it, trapped in the grind
What's the point when love's just wastin' time?

[Chorus - massive drop with 808 bass, heavily distorted vocals, chaotic guitar riffs]
Why am I fightin' when everybody's gone?
The one who stays, I can't hold on
The other's slippin', can't reach that hand
Why can't I just be normal, like they planned?
Fuckin' up everything, the weird mess girl
Reason we can't have nice things in this world
Homeless, high, no job, hell's my chain
Failure of life, drownin' in pain

[Bridge - stripped piano and cello, vulnerable cracked vocals, slowing tempo]
Don't wanna live, don't wanna wake to the fight
But somethin' whispers "hold on through the night"
They say they love me, but it's all just lies
I'm the punchline, the storm in their skies

[Outro - fading ethereal pads, reverb-drenched whispers, dissolving into silence]
Why fight... why breathe... why try...
Gone... all gone... just me... goodbye...
