(Tempo: 90 BPM, Key: D minor) Intro (mp) (Soft electronic pads with a pulsating rhythm, leading into guitar feedback) [Chester - Soft vocals] I feel it crawl beneath my skin, A shadow whispers where to begin… Verse 1 (p building to f) [Mike - Rap vocals] I see the cracks, they’re breaking the ground (p), The weight of the world’s got me spinning around (mp). Truth cut deep, yeah, it’s carving the bone (f), I’m screaming inside, but I’m still alone (f). You take what’s left, you’re feeding the flame, I’m hollowed out, but you carry no shame. This flesh is weak, but my soul’s awake, I’ll fight the fire, no matter what’s at stake. (ff) Chorus (ff) [Chester - Melodic vocals] Flesh and bone, but I’m breaking free, Chains can’t hold what you can’t see. Bleed me dry, I’ll rise again, This isn’t the start, and it’s not the end. Verse 2 (mp building to f) [Mike - Rap vocals] Your lies are like poison seeping in veins (mp), A cycle of chaos, endless pain (mp building to f). But every scar’s a badge I’ll wear, The louder you scream, the less I care. (f) [Chester - Screamed vocals] YOU FED THE BEAST INSIDE MY HEAD (f), NOW I WON’T STOP TILL YOUR WORDS ARE DEAD! (ff) Bridge (pp building to ff) (Soft piano with strings, emotional buildup) [Chester - Soft vocals] Underneath it all, I see the truth, The pieces I lost, I’ll never lose. (Pause for effect—drop to silence) [Chester - Screamed vocals with heavy distortion] (ff) I AM THE FLESH, I AM THE FIRE, YOU BUILT THIS HELL, BUT I’LL CLIMB HIGHER! Chorus (ff) [Chester - Melodic vocals with Mike - Backing screams] Flesh and bone, but I’m breaking free, Chains can’t hold what you can’t see. Bleed me dry, I’ll rise again, This isn’t the start, and it’s not the end. Outro (pp) [Chester - Soft vocals] I feel it crawl beneath my skin, But now I know where to begin… (Fade to silence)

I miss all the chances I take I lose all the progress I make I forget all the plans that I made I waste all the time that I I hate all the things that I say I hate all the things that don’t change Why do I do this to myself? Is it to silence the noise? Or is it to fill the void? We can’t keep doing this I need a break Don’t need the praise, don’t want the fame Just want to kiss your lips, your neck and face Intricate steps in this intricate mess My heart is a bird and your arms are a nest Burning down, who would have guessed? Burning down, can’t take a breath Hiding, disguising, it’s not fine I cannot find it, need to rewind Need to define what’s on my mind

Verse 1 Late nights, cold streets, I’m walking alone, Fingers numb, heart heavy, can’t find my way home. Smoke fills my lungs, liquor kisses my lips, Drowning in shadows, caught in the abyss. I’ve seen faces turn stone, love fade to regret, Broken bottles, broken dreams, trying to forget. Neon lights paint the cracks on these dirty walls, In the city of the lost, we all learn to crawl. Pre-Chorus The world’s spinning faster, but I’m standing still, Swallowed by the dark, I’ve forgotten what’s real. Chasing something fleeting, but it slips away, Living in a nightmare that calls me to stay. Chorus ‘Cause it’s too cold here, where the light won’t shine, And the air’s so thick, it could stop time. Hold my breath, hope the darkness fades, But it wraps me tight, I’m its willing slave. Verse 2 Fights on the corner, echoes of despair, Sirens wailing loud, cutting through the air. I’ve danced with the devil, held his hand in mine, Shared secrets with shadows, made friends with crime. I’ve watched love bleed out, seen trust decay, Heard promises crack under the weight of the day. Each high feels fleeting, but the lows are deep, In a bed of regret, it’s hard to sleep. Pre-Chorus I’m stuck in a spiral, can’t break free, Chains of my own making dragging me. Dreams of escape fade with every drink, As the edge gets closer, I don’t dare blink. Chorus ‘Cause it’s too cold here, where the light won’t shine, And the air’s so thick, it could stop time. Hold my breath, hope the darkness fades, But it wraps me tight, I’m its willing slave. Bridge They say there’s a way out, but the doors are sealed, Every crack I’ve found only made me feel More lost, more torn, more afraid to breathe, Can’t see the stars through the weight of this grief. Outro Late nights, cold streets, I’m walking alone, Fingers numb, heart heavy, this place is my home. Smoke fills my lungs, and the silence screams, I’m the queen of the ruins, ruling broken dreams.
[Verse] Empty bottles on the floor broken dreams Shattered in the night like forgotten screams Once believed in something beyond the haze Now I wander lost through endless maze [Verse 2] Seeking answers in the noise static hum Radio silence leaves my mind feeling numb Chasing shadows down this dead end street Boots worn thin against the defeat [Chorus] Who’s out there who hears my shout Crying in the dark it’s a brutal bout Searching for a spark in this blackened sky Burdened by a past I can’t deny [Verse 3] Joints ache under the weight of wasted time Counting every failure like a hidden crime Walls close in no escape I can find Thoughts like chains bind my restless mind [Bridge] Ghosts of rebellion whisper in my ear Faded memories of what used to be clear Losing sight of the light that once burned bright Dragged into the depths of an endless night [Chorus] Who’s out there who hears my shout Crying in the dark it’s a brutal bout Searching for a spark in this blackened sky Burdened by a past I can’t deny
"Freedom of Sheep" - Brother Joy (Intro: A rhythmic, rebellious guitar riff, steady and pounding like a call to arms.) (Verse 1) Blindfolded eyes, marching in line, Trapped in a world where thoughts aren’t mine. A quiet voice, drowned in the crowd, But the silence screams so loud. (Pre-Chorus) Why follow rules you don’t understand? Break the chains, take your stand. (Chorus) Freedom of sheep, a lie they sell, A gilded cage, a private hell. Open your mind, tear down the walls, Hear the truth when the silence calls. (Verse 2) Echoes of doubt, they start to rise, Questions burning behind closed eyes. The puppeteer’s strings begin to fray, As I find the courage to walk away. (Pre-Chorus) Why follow rules you don’t understand? Break the chains, take your stand. (Chorus) Freedom of sheep, a lie they sell, A gilded cage, a private hell. Open your mind, tear down the walls, Hear the truth when the silence calls. (Bridge) Step off the path, out of the line, The world is yours, it’s time to define. No masters, no chains, no shadowed disguise, Freedom is seeing with your own eyes. (Breakdown) The instruments drop to a whisper: “Think, question, rise. The key to freedom lies inside.” (Final Chorus) Freedom of sheep, no more disguise, A world reborn before our eyes. Open your mind, tear down the lies, True freedom waits, it never dies. (Outro: A soaring guitar solo, fading into the sound of footsteps walking away, a symbol of liberation.)
[Verse] Dark clouds rolling in Lightning strikes my skin Heart beats through the din This fight I must win [Verse 2] Shadows creeping close Fears I can't disclose Standing on my toes Through the storm I rose [Chorus] Through the storm I scream Chasing down my dream Nothing's what it seems Breaking at the seams [Verse 3] Wind cuts like a knife Battles in my life Wading through the strife Clinging to the light [Verse 4] Thunder roars above Lost in every shove Grasping for my love Hoping for the dove [Bridge] Face the raging tide No more place to hide All that's left inside Is strength in which I bide
I’m staring at the cracks in a fragile foundation, Every lie’s a stone in this crumbling nation. Greed in the veins, chaos in the air, We’re the architects of a world unfair. Screens flash violence, no one’s awake, Addicted to the poison, every breath we take. Divided by design, manipulated minds, Running in a race where the finish line’s blind.
Verse 1: Every morning I paint a smile Trying to make it look worthwhile But behind these eyes, there's a storm inside All these stories that I devise Pre-Chorus: I keep building walls of make-believe Thinking no one else can see But every lie I tell Is another crack in my shell Chorus: I'm running out of alibis Can't keep living in these lies The truth is burning through my disguise Like a fire that never dies Oh, the weight of every lie Is pulling me down tonight Verse 2: Got my stories memorized Each excuse perfectly sized But in the mirror late at night I can't hide from my own light Bridge: The truth is breaking through All the walls I built with you Can't outrun what's inside Time to let go of my pride (Repeat Chorus) Outro: No more running, no more hiding Time to face what I've been fighting 'Cause every lie I tell myself Is just a cry out for help
(Verse 1) Dropped in the lobby, ready to fight, Jumped in the pit, but it don't feel right. Met some noobs who think they're so raw, But I'm here to tell them, "You ain't the law." (Chorus) Reg Pit? More like Regular Pit, All these wannabes, they just can't commit. I’ve grinded my time, I've earned my place, But in this game, it's all just a race. (Verse 2) Remember that time, I got spawn camped? Had my sword out, but I couldn’t be amped. Shit talkers around, they think they know me, But I’m just a player, chasing my homies. (Chorus) Reg Pit? More like Regular Pit, All these wannabes, they just can't commit. I’ve grinded my time, I've earned my place, But in this game, it's all just a race. (Bridge) I was the underdog, never got a win, Now I’m stacking kills, let the games begin. Every fall and fail, I learned from it all, In this Minecraft world, I stand tall. (Verse 3) Dodgin’ the arrows, sweatin’ the sweat, Crafting my path, I ain’t done yet. Friends in the chat, we laugh and we joke, But in the Reg Pit, it’s all a cruel hoax. (Chorus) Reg Pit? More like Regular Pit, All these wannabes, they just can't commit. I’ve grinded my time, I've earned my place, But in this game, it's all just a race. (Outro) So here’s to the players, the real and the true, We know the struggle, we know what to do. Reg Pit? Nah, just a regular scene, But I’ll keep on fighting, you know what I mean!
