Stuck

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - distorted down-tuned guitars, raw male vocals with grit and reverb, slow dragging drums]

Wakin' up's like draggin' chains through the mud
Feelin' heavy, yeah, bones made of lead
I ain't that guy, never was that man
Stuck in the sludge, can't even stand

[Pre-Chorus - building feedback whine, palm-muted riffs, tense rising vocals]

When'd the fire die? When'd the spark just fade?
No fuel left, just this empty cage
Pullin' a mountain, chains 'round my neck
Screamin' inside, but I'm a fuckin' wreck

[Chorus - explosive full band crash, heavy distortion, shouted vocals with layered harmonies, pounding tom fills]

I'm not movin', no, I can't break free
Lost my energy, motivation's deceased
Draggin' this weight, it's crushin' me down
Guess I'm just not that man now
Not that man!

[Verse 2 - sludgy bass groove, fuzzy guitar walls, weary half-sung vocals with growls]

Mirror's a liar, shows a ghost in my skin
Coffee's cold, day's already lost
Tried to push forward, but the hill's too steep
Feelin' the void, creepin' in deep

[Pre-Chorus - swirling guitar noise, accelerating snare rolls, desperate strained vocals]

Where'd it all go? The fight, the drive?
Nothin' but echoes in this dead-end dive
Mountain's growin', pullin' me under
Thunder inside, but I just surrender

[Chorus - explosive full band crash, heavier distortion, screamed vocals with gang shouts, relentless double-kick drums]

I'm not movin', no, I can't break free
Lost my energy, motivation's deceased
Draggin' this weight, it's crushin' me down
Guess I'm just not that man now
Not that man!

[Bridge - stripped to clean guitar arpeggios and feedback, vulnerable whisper-scream vocals building to chaos]

Maybe tomorrow... nah, fuck that lie
This apathy's home, where the weak ones die
Pull harder? Can't... it's all I know
Just a shadow man, movin' slow

[Outro - fading distorted riff swells, echoing vocal ad-libs, collapsing into feedback and drum decay]

Not that guy... not that man...
Draggin'... down... gone...
