[Intro ] (8 Bars) (Pushed Whisper / Low Vocal Fry. Dark, close-mic'd, rhythmic delivery.) You think you know me? You don't. I’ve held it in too long... The fire, the fury... Tonight, it comes out. [Verse 1] (16 Bars) (Low, Raw, Commanding Register. Rhythmic recitation, controlled volume, focused grit.) I walked through fire, I faced the world of lies. Felt the weight of all your judgment behind my eyes. You built a cage and called it home for me, Left me with nothing but this desperate plea. I kept the darkness buried deep beneath my skin, Every silent tear and where the scars begin. They taught me to forgive the hand that struck the blow, But the mirror screams defiance, in a truth they’ll never know. [Pre-Chorus ] (8 Bars) (Strained Mid-Register Push. Volume and pitch rise, accepting rasp/crackle. High energy, building tension.) You can doubt me, you can try to break me down, But I've had enough now to finally wear the crown. Back my voice, back my strength, back what I will take, I rise from the ashes for my own damn sake. [Chorus ] (16 Bars) (Full-Throttle Melodic Pushed Projection. High volume, cathartic. Layered harmonies are shouted and rough. NO BELTING/SCREAMING. Chest-projected only.) THIS IS MY TRUTH! MY SCARRED TRUTH, MY CALL! No more hiding in a forgotten dream. I’ve been broken, I’ve been burned, I’ve been pushed too far, But my heart beats, though it’s worn, and this is who I are! Look at me! Look at me! Tell me what you see! NOW WHO’S CRYING LIKE A BITCH?! (This final line must be the rawest, most intense, near-breaking CHEST voice push) [Verse 2] (16 Bars) (Melodic, Bitter, Defiant. Slightly lower, sustained melodic delivery with controlled grit.) I trusted too much, gave too much of me away, Watched my tears turn into fire day by day. I won't apologize for all the rage I feel, I'm breaking the walls, I'm tearing up the seal. Every whisper you put into my ear, Just fueled the monster that you started to fear. I’m tearing up the contract that you made me sign with fear, And every drop of venom is the only truth I hear. [Guitar Solo 1] (8 Bars) (Instrumental: Emotional, sustained lead over Verse rhythm) [Bridge ] (8 Bars) (Exposed Rawness. Begins fragile/quiet, building rapidly to an explosive SHOUT/ROAR (chest voice only). NO BELTING/SCREAMING.) I won't be silenced, I won't pretend I'm whole. Every wound I carry will defend my soul. You may see the surface, but not the hidden fight, I SHOUT MY TRUTH, I RECLAIM MY OWN DAMN LIGHT! (Maximal, raw, near-breaking chest voice power) [Chorus (Final)] (16 Bars) (Decimating Pushed Projection. More aggressive than the first chorus, pushing past comfort for texture. NO BELTING/SCREAMING. Chest-projected only.) THIS IS MY TRUTH! MY SCARRED TRUTH, MY FIGHT! I won’t back down, I won’t hide tonight! I’ve been broken, I’ve been burned, I’ve been pushed too far, But my heart beats, though it’s worn, and this is who I are! Look at me! Look at me! Tell me what you see! NOW WHO’S CRYING LIKE A B***
