Never quite there

[Verse 1 Fast-paced drums, aggressive guitar riffs]
"I’ve been running these circles, I can’t find the start,
Smiling on the surface, but I’m breaking apart.
They say it’s just a phase, but it feels like a lie,
I’m reaching for something that I can’t define."

[Pre-Chorus Build-up, vocal harmony, or slight breakdown before the chorus]
"You say it’s nothing, but I feel it’s real,
All these signs, but I can’t heal.
Will you see me, will you see it through?
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do."

[Chorus Dynamic drop, sudden shift, high-energy scream or melodic breakdown]
"Never quite there, always just a step behind,
I’m here, but you’re not in my mind.
I reach out, but you pull away,
Am I just fading, or is this just the way?"

[Verse 2 More chaotic, tempo increase, layers of sound]
"I hear the silence, it’s loud in my head,
What’s unsaid is where I’m led.
You talk in circles, and I follow along,
But all I feel is that I don’t belong."

[Pre-Chorus Rising tension, building again to another explosive chorus]
"You say it’s nothing, but I feel it’s real,
All these signs, but I can’t heal.
Will you see me, will you see it through?
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do."

[Chorus Energetic again, full throttle]
"Never quite there, always just a step behind,
I’m here, but you’re not in my mind.
I reach out, but you pull away,
Am I just fading, or is this just the way?"

[Bridge Fast-paced, almost chaotic breakdown, lots of distortion, vocal effects, or auto-tune on parts of the lyrics]
"Every glance, a game I can’t win,
Words are sharp, but silence sinks in.
You said ‘maybe,’ but I know the deal,
I’m stuck in a world that’s not even real."

[Chorus Return to the chorus with even more aggression]
"Never quite there, always just a step behind,
I’m here, but you’re not in my mind.
I reach out, but you pull away,
Am I just fading, or is this just the way?"

[Outro Dramatic slow-down, chaotic outro, heavy synths and distorted vocals fading out]
"Never quite there, always just a step behind,
I’m here, but you’re not in my mind."
Final heavy drop to silence.
