(Slow, haunting clean guitar arpeggios) (Distant industrial synth) (Light reverb) Danny (Whispered, broken, intimate):The demons inside --- (Verse 1: 0:10-0:30) (Slow, heavy guitar chugs) (Heavy drums — half-time) (Industrial synth — dark and pulsing) Danny (Clean, aching, emotional — close reverb): They whisper in the dead of night... They tell me I should give up the fight... They show me everything I've done wrong... They've been with me for so long... But when I try to push them out... I lose the fire — I lose the shout... (Reverb holds) --- (Pre-Chorus: 0:30-0:42) (Drums pick up — driving beat) (Synth swells) Danny (Cleaner, strained, voice cracking — light reverb): I can feel them crawling in my chest? They never sleep — they never rest... They're the reason I'm still here... They keep all my fear... (Synth explodes) --- (Chorus: 0:42-1:05) (Full band crashes in — heavy, crushing) (Heavy drums — double bass) (Industrial synth — soaring and dark) Danny (Clean & Screamed layered — powerful, emotional): MY DEMONS KEEP ME ALIVE! (Screamed): ALIVE! THEY'RE THE FIRE IN MY EYES! (Screamed): EYES! I DON'T FIGHT THEM ANYMORE! (Screamed): MORE! THEY'RE THE REASON I SURVIVE! (Screamed): THE REASON IM ALIVE ! MY DEMONS! (Screamed whisper): ...my demons... (Reverb holds) --- (Verse 2: 1:05-1:25) (Back to slow, heavy chugs) (Heavy drums — half-time) Danny (Clean, vulnerable, emotional — light reverb): They showed me pain I never knew... They showed me strength I never grew... They taught me how to stand my ground... When no one else was around... They are the darkness in my soul... But they're the reason I'm still whole... (Reverb holds) --- (Chorus: 1:25-1:48) (Full band crashes in) Danny (Clean & Screamed layered — powerful, emotional): MY DEMONS KEEP ME ALIVE! (Screamed): ALIVE! THEY'RE THE FIRE IN MY EYES!
