**Intro**
*(slow, heavy riff)*

**Verse 1**
Walking straight on broken ground,
never taught to slow it down.
They said “follow, don’t ask why,”
keep your head low, fall in line.
Hands of power draw the rules,
words of comfort sound like tools.
Every promise sounds the same,
every loss becomes my name.

**Verse 2**
Clean mouths preaching dirty truth,
selling fear as something new.
Built on lies they call control,
feeding off the wounded soul.
Learned to carry what I can’t choose,
learned to smile while I lose.
But this pressure in my chest
is starting to confess.

**Pre-Chorus**
Don’t talk to me about relief,
don’t talk faith or destiny.
When the cost is who I am,
I won’t kneel, I won’t pretend.

**Chorus**
Under this weight — I still stand
Not broken, not damned
If this world wants blood from me
It’ll have to take it by force
Under this weight — I remain
No forgiveness to claim

**Verse 3**
Saw the law turn blind and cold,
saw the weak pay for the bold.
Truth was traded, signed, and sold,
gold replaces right and wrong.
I’m no savior, no disease,
just a man on wounded knees.
Still I rise, still I fight,
still breathing through the night.

**Pre-Chorus**
Every step a silent war,
every day demands some more.
But I’m still alive somehow,
and that’s resistance now.

**Chorus**
Under this weight — I still stand
Not broken, not damned
Push me close to the edge
I’ll learn to fall on my feet
Under this weight — I remain
No forgiveness to claim

**Bridge (heavy break)**
Lie to survive
Silence is law
Chains on the mind
Still I crawl

**Solo**
*(slow, melodic, emotional)*

**Final Chorus**
Under this weight — till the end
I won’t bend, I won’t break
If the darkness comes for me
I’ll be waiting face to face
Under this weight — still alive
I don’t run, I don’t hide

**Outro**
Under this weight…
I still breathe.
