I AM THE CURE! I AM THE FIGHT!

(Heavy, distorted guitar riff kicks in with a driving, frantic drum beat)
(Verse 1)
WAKE UP IN A COLD SWEAT! ANOTHER EMPTY DAY!
THE MONSTER’S IN MY HEAD, WON’T LET ME LOOK AWAY!
A SHADOW ON THE WALL, A THIRST I CANNOT QUENCH!
I’M TRAPPED INSIDE THIS HELL, MY SOUL INSIDE A TRENCH!
I PUSH AND PULL AND SCRAPE, THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN!
IT FEEDS ON MY DESPAIR, IT LAUGHS AT EVERY SIN!
(Pre-Chorus)
I’M SCREAMING AT THE MIRROR, “WHO THE HELL AM I?”
A REFLECTION OF A GHOST, I’M WATCHING MYSELF DIE!
(Chorus)
I AM THE CURE! I AM THE FIGHT!
A FIST AGAINST THE DARK, A BURNING, RAGING LIGHT!
I’LL TEAR THE VEINS FROM MY OWN SKIN, TO RIP IT FROM MY BONE!
THIS DEMON HAS A NAME, AND I’LL TAKE BACK MY THRONE!
I’LL SHATTER THE INFECTION! I’LL SEVER THE CONNECTION!
I WILL NOT BE ITS SLAVE, I’LL FIND MY OWN DIRECTION!
(Guitar solo – Fast, chaotic, with high-pitched squeals and dive bombs)
(Verse 2)
THE HANDS AROUND MY THROAT, THEY’RE TIGHTENING THEIR GRIP!
A WHISPER IN MY EAR, A SICK AND POISONED TRIP!
IT PROMISES ME PEACE, THEN LEAVES ME WITH THE PAIN!
A BROKEN PROMISE, HAUNTING IN THE POURING RAIN!
I FEEL THE SHAKES AND TREMORS, THE FIRE IN MY BLOOD!
I’M DROWNING IN THE FILTH, I’M CAUGHT INSIDE THE FLOOD!
(Pre-Chorus)
I’M SCREAMING AT THE HEAVENS, “I’LL NEVER BE THE SAME!”
BUT DAMN YOU, I WILL FIGHT! I’M TAKING BACK THE GAME!
(Chorus)
I AM THE CURE! I AM THE FIGHT!
A FIST AGAINST THE DARK, A BURNING, RAGING LIGHT!
I’LL TEAR THE VEINS FROM MY OWN SKIN, TO RIP IT FROM MY BONE!
THIS DEMON HAS A NAME, AND I’LL TAKE BACK MY THRONE!
I’LL SHATTER THE INFECTION! I’LL SEVER THE CONNECTION!
I WILL NOT BE ITS SLAVE, I’LL FIND MY OWN DIRECTION!
(Bridge – Music slows slightly, becomes more melodic but still intense, vocals are a mix of desperate singing and pained screams)
I’M BLEEDING OUT THE POISON!
I’M CHOKING ON THE LIE!
I’M TEARING OUT THE ROOTS, NO MATTER HOW I CRY!
I’M CRAWLING FROM THE GRAVE!
I’M FIGHTING FOR MY BREATH!
I WILL NOT LET IT WIN! I’LL CONQUER MY OWN DEATH!
(Breakdown – Slow, chugging, heavy riff with a powerful, syncopated drum pattern. Vocals are a guttural roar, almost a chant.)
TAKE BACK MY LIFE! (RECLAIM!)
TAKE BACK MY SOUL! (REVOLT!)
TAKE BACK MY MIND! (DESTROY!)
I AM IN CONTROL! (SURVIVE!)
(Outro)
(Fast, unrelenting guitar and drums. The vocals are a final, long, drawn-out scream until the music suddenly cuts out.)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
