bullet to the head

Title: "Bullet to the Head"

Genre: Alternative Metal / Hard Rock / Metalcore

Every scar has a story...

Every silence screams...

But the darkest night...

Doesn't own me.

Verse 1

Locked inside these concrete walls of my mind,

Every mirror shows a soul I've left behind.

Counting every failure like a loaded round,

Searching for a voice but I can't hear a sound.

Every smile is just another disguise,

A shattered reflection hiding bloodshot eyes.

The weight keeps pulling, dragging me below,

But somewhere in the ashes, there's a spark I know.

Pre-Chorus

The darkness whispers,

"Give it all away..."

But there's another voice

Begging me to stay.

Chorus

I won't let this be

A bullet to the head,

I refuse to let these demons

Write the words I've never said.

Every broken heartbeat

Still echoes through the pain,

I'm still standing here—

I'm not giving in today.

Verse 2

I've stood at the edge where the silence calls,

Watched my own shadow climb these broken walls.

The storm keeps raging inside my chest,

But surrender isn't how this story ends.

These hands still shake,

These tears still fall,

But I'm learning I don't have to face it all alone.

The cracks let in a little light,

Enough to make it through another night.

[Breakdown] (heavy, screamed vocals)

You don't decide who I become!

You don't define what I've overcome!

Every scar is proof I survived!

Every breath means I'm still alive!

No more chains!

No more lies!

I'm not another victim of the night!

[Bridge] (clean vocals building into screams)

If you're hearing this,

You're not alone.

Even when your heart

Feels made of stone.

Reach for someone,

Don't disappear.

Your voice still matters—

We're still here.

Final Chorus

I won't let this be

A bullet to the head,

I'll turn this pain into the fire

That keeps me moving instead.

Every broken heartbeat

Can learn to beat again,

This is not the ending—

This is where I begin.

Outro

(soft guitar fading out)

One more sunrise...

One more chance...

One more breath...

I'm still here.
