Alone

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - sparse piano echoes, whispered female vocals, distant school bell SFX]
Shadows in the hallway, faces blur to gray
Laughter like a weapon, cutting through the fray
I fade into the lockers, invisible and cold
No one sees the fracture, in this story untold

[Pre-Chorus - rising dissonant strings, breathy tension in vocals, subtle reverb]
They fit like puzzle pieces, I’m the jagged edge
Chasing empty friendships, on this hollow ledge

[Chorus - heavy distorted guitars, pounding industrial drums, screamed harmonies]
I don’t belong here, in this cage of lies
School’s a funeral march, under fluorescent skies
Outsider in my own skin, screaming silent cries
Not part of this world, watch me say goodbye

[Verse 2 - glitchy synth pulses, low growling bass, detached monotone vocals]
Textbooks full of poison, lessons I can’t learn
Mirrors crack with judgment, bridges left to burn
Crowds like swirling vultures, picking at my seams
Lost in the equation, shattering my dreams

[Pre-Chorus - swelling orchestral stabs, layered eerie whispers, building dread]
They dance in perfect rhythm, I’m the broken beat
Haunted by the silence, where our worlds don’t meet

[Chorus - heavier distortion, crushing 808 kicks, multi-tracked agonized vocals]
I don’t belong here, in this cage of lies
School’s a funeral march, under fluorescent skies
Outsider in my own skin, screaming silent cries
Not part of this world, watch me say goodbye

[Bridge - stripped to hollow reverb piano, raw vulnerable whispers turning to breakdown snarls]
One day I’ll shatter these walls, bleed out the fake
Rise from the ashes, no more heartbreak
But tonight I’m drowning, in the black I make

[Outro - fading glitch echoes, dissolving into static noise, final ghostly sigh]
Not part... not here... goodbye...
