I Am My Reason — I Won't Go Down 2
alternative Rock
[Trigger Warning] Contains themes of self-harm and suicidal thoughts. If you're struggling, please seek help — you are not alone. [Intro - Aggressive Riff] (BPM 165) Electric guitar hits a short, stabbing riff — drums crash in on 2/4. Bass locks with kick for grit. [Verse 1] Head above the chaos, lungs a fight in white Dark hands on my ankles, trying to pull me under tonight City lights blur, voices turn to knives Every breath a battlefield, every heartbeat alive [Pre-Chorus] One — two — three — four, the air gets thin Pulse on the edge, the noise closes in They shout one more, one more, like it's all I know But I find a cut of silence carving out a glow [Chorus] (anthemic) I am my reason — I won't go down I am my reason — I won't drown Raise fists, raise noise, break this crown I am my reason — I won't go down [Verse 2] Tide tries to drag me, claws in the dark Salt in my mouth, taste of something sharp I count the beats like a dare in my head And something in the static says I don't have to be dead [Pre-Chorus 2] One — two — three — four, hand on the razor edge A voice cuts through, louder than the ledge "Are you actually gonna do it? Are you really gone?" Those words land like lightning — the siren's not alone [Chorus] (driving) I am my reason — I won't go down I am my reason — I won't drown Crack the dark with a sound, tear it out of town I am my reason — I won't go down [Bridge — Breakdown / Shout] (Full band distorted — tempo holds — shout) Demons line the shorel
