Void Stares Back

[Intro]
(instrumental only, dark atmospheric pads, low bass pulse, distant guitar feedback, no vocals)

[synth pressure builds]

[Verse 1]
(slow melodic rap, clear pocket)

Three AM spiral, thoughts unwind
Too much weight sitting on my mind
Billions before me, gone in dust
Billions after will forget all of us

Love, pain, triumph, names we trust
All get swallowed by time and rust
What is the climb when the peak can fade?
Every bright thing ends in shade

I stare deep where the answers stop
No voice speaks when the silence drops
They dress fear up in borrowed peace
I face what they try to release

No grand author in the distant dark
Just dead stars and a human spark
Each breath hits harder knowing it ends
So I hold tighter to the life I defend

[Pre-Chorus]
(rising tension, drums building)

No sign above
No script below

Just this pulse
And the path I chose

[Hook]
(explosive melodic hook, layered vocals only)

Void stares back, I don’t look away
One spark burns in the endless gray
No grand sign, no rescue light
I face the black and turn pressure into might

Dread runs deep, but I drive through
Cosmos stays cold, so I burn more true
Lights go out, but I live right now
Void stares back, I don’t back down

[Drop]
(huge bass drop, heavy guitar riff break, glitch fills, no extra ad-libs)

[Instrumental]
(short riff-driven groove, metallic percussion, no vocals)

[Verse 2]
(stronger melodic rap, controlled aggression)

Perfect lives glow on a cracked phone screen
Smiles posed bright like permanent dreams
Careers, applause, money, and fame
Still can’t bargain with the final frame

Nihilism knocks, saying effort is vain
I twist that blade into fuel for the flame
Create one thing that might linger in time
Even if silence erases the line

No map, no director, no script to trust
Stardust wakes, then returns to dust
That thought hits daily, but it sharpens the blade
Turns the panic into forward rage

No fleeing the question, no soft disguise
I let that terror look me in the eyes
Live loud, love deep, make the seconds ring
If nothing lasts, I still choose everything

[Pre-Chorus]
(rising pressure, guitar stabs after lines)

No sign above
No script below

Just this pulse
And the path I chose

[Hook]
(bigger hook, heavy bounce, layered vocals only)

Void stares back, I don’t look away
One spark burns in the endless gray
No grand sign, no rescue light
I face the black and turn pressure into might

Dread runs deep, but I drive through
Cosmos stays cold, so I burn more true
Lights go out, but I live right now
Void stares back, I don’t back down

[Bridge]
(half-time breakdown, close vocal, eerie guitar feedback)

The nothing looks back
It does not blink

No comfort comes
From the edge I think

I choose the blaze
I choose the strain

Carve something real
From the empty frame

[Break]
(beat cuts completely, isolated guitar riff)

No answer.

Still I rise.

[Build-Up]
(rising synth pressure, drums building, guitar riff climbs)

No more waiting for meaning to fall
No more shrinking beneath it all
If the void wants silence, let it see
How loud one life can be

[Final Hook]
(biggest hook, explosive electronic-metal drop)

Void stares back, I don’t look away
One spark burns in the endless gray
No grand sign, no rescue light
I face the black and turn pressure into might

Dread runs deep, but I drive through
Cosmos stays cold, so I burn more true
Lights go out, but I live right now
Void stares back, I don’t back down

[Final Drop]
(explosive guitar-driven drop, synth stabs, bass hits, no extra ad-libs)

[Outro]
(fading bass, distant guitar, calm defiant vocal)

Void stares back…

I don’t back down…
