[Instrumental Intro – Build Up]

[Soft ambient pads → clean guitar picking → low heartbeat-style kick drum

[Tension slowly rising.]

[Verse 1 – SUNG (melodic, atmospheric)]

I feel the quiet breaking open like a fault line in my chest,

Every memory starts shaking as it drags me from my rest.

There’s a war behind my eyelids where the light and darkness meet,

And the angels try to lift me but I’m heavy on my feet.

The silence turns to thunder when he whispers through the floor—

I can feel him getting closer…

He’s knocking at my door.

Not the world, not the room—

It’s the part of me he tore,

Where the devil keeps returning

Just to taste my fear once more.

[Pre-Chorus – SUNG]

I feel the ground start shaking,

My heartbeat rearranging—

But I’m tired of escaping…

I won’t run from him again.

[Chorus – SUNG (powerful, emotional)]

’Cause he’s knocking at my door again,

Scratching at the scars I’ve been trying to mend.

Saying “you’ll never be more than the mess you’re in,”

But I won’t let him drown me, no, I won’t let him win.

Yeah, he’s knocking at my door again,

But the angels in my chest won’t let me bend.

I’m a battleground of fire, I was made for this—

And I rise from the ashes he tries to live in.

[Verse 2 – RAPPED (NF intensity)]

Yeah—

I’ve been dragging these chains like they’re made for me,

Carrying weight like it’s fate, you created me.

I hear the lies that you spit circulating me,

Telling me I’m the problem—

You’re manipulating me.

You built a throne in my mind just to sit on your sin,

You were carving your name underneath my skin.

But I’m tearing you out, you won’t settle in—

This is my house,

Not a place for the devil to live.

[Screamed Tag – SCREAMED]

GET—OUT—OF—MY—HEAD!

[Pre-Chorus – SUNG (rising tension)]

I feel my heartbeat waking,

Every fault and fear I’m facing—

But the pressure that’s been breaking me

Is turning into my strength.

[Chorus – SUNG (full band)]

’Cause he’s knocking at my door again,

Scratching at the scars I’ve been trying to mend.

Saying “you’ll never be more than the mess you’re in,”

But I won’t let him drown me, I won’t let him win.

Yeah, he’s knocking at my door again,

But the angels in my chest won’t let me bend.

I’m a battleground of fire, I was made for this—

And I rise from the ashes he tries to live in.

[Bridge – SUNG (haunting)]

Take back your whispers,

Take back your throne—

You don’t get to tell me

I’m better alone.

These demons don’t own me,

They just visit sometimes…

But I’m stronger than the voices

You planted in my mind.

[Breakdown – SCREAMED + RAPPED Hybrid (Set It Off energy)]

[SCREAMED:]

I hear him pounding—

BOOM! My ribs are sounding—

BOOM! My soul surrounding

This fire that I’m grounding!

[RAPPED (fast, intense):]

You don’t get to break me, cage me,

Drag me down or rearrange me—

I’m not your victim,

I’m the storm that you created.

[SCREAMED:]

GET OUT—

GET OUT—

YOU DON’T LIVE HERE ANYMORE!

[Final Chorus – SUNG (soaring, victorious)]

You were knocking at my door again,

But I buried all the shame you kept me living in.

Yeah, I’m brighter than the night that you dragged me in—

You will never get the keys to my mind again.

Still you’re knocking at my door, my friend,

But the angels in my chest say this is the end.

I’m a battleground of fire, I was made for this—

And I rise from the ashes

You tried to bury me in.
