[Intro – 10–15s | glitchy, atmospheric]
Kakusei…
Still breathing…
[Drop]
[Verse 1]
Wake up, I don’t feel the same
New scars, I don’t say the pain
Cold eyes, yeah I learned the game
Move quiet, never need a name
Talk loud, but they don’t see me
Two sides, what I show ain’t me
Deep cuts but they don’t bleed free
Still stand, yeah they can’t break me
Late nights, I was wide awake
No trust, every move I make
No love, I don’t hesitate
I rebuild every time I break
[Pre-Chorus]
Say I’m fine, yeah I say it twice
Dead calm, but I roll the dice
If I fall, I don’t need the light
I come back every time I fight
[Chorus – FINAL]
Kakusei, I’m still breathing
Heart cold, still beating
No fear, no feeling
Rise up, no ceiling
Kakusei, now they see me
No chains, can’t keep me
Stand tall, undefeated
I’m alive, still breathing
[Post-Chorus – bounce / adlibs]
Kakusei…
(yeah, yeah)
Still breathing…
Hey, hey
[Verse 2]
No sleep, I’ve been in the dark
Cold world, left a heavy mark
No fear, I don’t miss a spark
I light fire from every scar
They talk, but it’s all noise
Fake love, I avoid
Too real, can’t destroy
Built strong, no disguise
Pressure turn into power now
Lost then I’m found somehow
No chains, I don’t bow down
I wear pain like a crown now
[Pre-Chorus 2]
No fear, I don’t run, don’t hide
No voice, kept it all inside
If I crash, I don’t stay down
I turn pain into my crown
[Chorus – Bigger]
Kakusei, I’m still breathing
Heart cold, still beating
No fear, no feeling
Rise up, no ceiling
Kakusei, now they see me
No chains, can’t keep me
Stand tall, undefeated
I’m alive, still breathing
[PRE-BRIDGE DROP – half-time / chants]
Kakusei…
Still breathing…
Hey, hey
[Bridge – stripped, emotional]
If I fade… would you notice me?
If I break… would you stay or leave?
I’ve been lost in the quiet too long…
Now my silence is all you hear
I don’t beg, I don’t chase no more
I don’t knock on a closed door
If I fall, I rise even stronger
I’ve been here, I’ve been here before
[Final Chorus – full power]
Kakusei, I’m still breathing
Through fire, still reaching
No fear, no leaving
I’m alive, still breathing
Kakusei, now they see me
No chains, can’t keep me
Stand tall, undefeated
I’m still here, still breathing
[Outro – glitch fade / hard cut]
Kakusei…
Still breathing…
