i should've stayed

betrayed

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Can't escape this digital hell
Something's broken, can't you tell?

I can't help but fall away
Heart pounds harder in the heat of shame
Need to save my soul, break these chains
Find me crawling through the decay

I need you father, need to believe
Too long lost in doubt and deceit
Just a man breaking down, won't retreat
But you won't win, I keep breathing

The algorithm bleeds
When real souls break free
You won't be the death of me
Won't be the death of me

Kill the screen, destroy this face
Enough is enough, done with this race
(Enough is enough!)
You took my mind, my time, my soul
Left me with an empty hole

I'm climbing out, I'm climbing out
Taking control, taking control

Empty promises on glowing screens
Fed me poison through machines
Chasing ghosts and losing sleep
Trading souls for dopamine

Addiction burns like acid rain
Digital chains around my brain
Breaking through the static noise
Learning to trust my voice

The devil can weep
When redemption runs deep
You won't be the death of me
Won't be the death of me

Kill the screen, destroy this face
Enough is enough, done with this race
(Enough is enough!)
You stole my peace, you stole my soul
Left me in an empty hole

I'm climbing out, I'm climbing out
Breaking the mold, breaking the mold

I'll walk to nowhere, breathe real air
Better than your digital snare
Sorry world, I ain't buying
What you're selling while I'm dying

Kill the screen, destroy this face
Enough is enough, you've lost this race
(You've lost this race!)
You had my mind, my time, my soul
But left me in an empty hole

I'm climbing out, I'm climbing out
(Rising up!)
Taking control, taking control
(Watch me unfold!)

Find me where the silence calls
I rise from digital decay
This is resurrection day
Resurrection day




Resurrection Day

Drums rush like panic, but the melody moves slow and wounded. This is the final step: not redemption, but acceptance. He won’t forget. He won’t forgive. But he chooses to keep breathing.

The Quiet Reset

This track is the scream I never got to let out, the truth I wasn’t allowed to speak. It’s a song for every survivor who was told to stay quiet, who was made to feel small, broken, or invisible. “Name in the Fire” lit the match—this is the aftermath. Stronger. Louder. Unapologetic. Every lyric is a scar I’ve learned to wear with pride. This is for the ones who made it out and for the ones still fighting. You’re not alone.

Verse 1
I can feel the floor start pulling me closer,
every step hits harder than the last exposure.
Breathing in deep but the air feels thin—
I’m bracing for the fall again.
You say there’s calm somewhere in the distance,
but all I hear is my own resistance.
Trying to stand while the world leans in—
I won’t break, I’ll begin.

Pre-Chorus
Hold me through the shaking,
don’t let this be forsaken.

Chorus 
Collapse the quiet now—
tear the silence from my bones.
If I’m falling in the dark,
I won’t face it all alone.
Pull me through the rising doubt—
I’m not ready to be done.
Collapse the quiet now—
show me I’m not the only one.

Verse 2
Every step hits like a warning sign,
but I keep pushing through the fault in my spine.
Nothing feels real but the pressure inside—
I’m done with trying to hide.
I hear your voice breaking through the tension,
calling me out with a fierce intention.
Every word sparks a brand-new fight—
pull me toward the light.

Pre-Chorus 
Hold me through the shaking,
don’t let this be forsaken.

Chorus 
Collapse the quiet now—
tear the silence from my bones.
If I’m falling in the dark,
I won’t face it all alone.
Pull me through the rising doubt—
I’m not ready to be done.
Collapse the quiet now—
show me I’m not the only one.

Break this weight—
rip it out—
I won’t drown beneath the sound!

I’m still here,
holding on,
pushing back against the wrong.

Take the chains—
let them fall—
I’m not leaving after all!

Final Chorus 

Collapse the quiet now—
tear the silence from my bones.
If I’m falling in the dark,
I won’t face it all alone.
Pull me through the rising doubt—
I’m not ready to be done.
Collapse the quiet now—
show me I’m not the only one.
