Maybe I Wasn't There... (Slowed + Reverb)

Ten minutes left, the clock runs wild,
like thunder breaking, untamed and riled.
Routine cuts deep, it tears you apart,
not slow, but straight through the heart.

You’re holding on to the final song,
the choice was made, where you belong.
In the shadows, standing still,
if you ever move, you bend your will.

[Instrumental break – echoing guitar riffs with dark synth underlayer]

⸻

Chorus
Where do you wanna go?
What do you wanna reach?
Who are you gonna meet?
[ bridge]
Feel it first, before you speak.

[ electric leading guitar solo ]

Verse 2
No way around, the walls close in,
killing you fast, not under the skin.
Every morning, the same old fight,
waking up but losing the light.

Resist, collapse, no voice replies,
no savior comes, no alibis.
Just one song left, in your head,
playing louder than words unsaid.

⸻

Chorus
Where do you wanna go?
What do you wanna reach?
Who are you gonna meet?
[ bridge]
Feel it first, before you speak.

⸻

Bridge
Your chosen song keeps burning on,
pulls you deeper where you belong.
Through the dark, the echoes stay,
footprints fading, but they show the way.

⸻

[Outro – melodic guitar riff with reverb, dark synths swelling, fading into silence]
