### "Corrode"
**[Verse 1]**
The teeth of the machine are grinding slow
Every cut, every wound, it's starting to show
A hollow pulse in a dying shell
This isn’t life, it’s a living hell
**[Pre-Chorus]**
Nailed to the grind, I can’t disconnect
The static's screaming, it snaps my neck
I’m a fracture, I’m a flaw, I’m a glitch in the skin
I’ll burn it all down just to feel it begin
**[Chorus]**
Corrode me, break me, leave me in rust
Erase the frame, all that I trust
I am decay, I am the strain
Born to destroy, built to contain
**[Verse 2]**
Every wire inside me is pulling tight
Dragging me deeper into endless night
A voice in my head says “You’re not enough”
But I’ll carve through the void when I’ve had enough
**[Pre-Chorus]**
These chains won’t hold; I’ll make them crack
Tear the circuit, rip it back
I’m a virus, I’m a plague, I’m the ghost in the flow
I’ll tear out the rot and let it all go
**[Chorus]**
Corrode me, break me, leave me in rust
Erase the frame, all that I trust
I am decay, I am the strain
Born to destroy, built to contain
**[Bridge]**
Do you hear the scream? It’s not in my head
It’s in the cracks of the walls, the life you bled
Every scar, every mark, it’s branded deep
I’ll be your nightmare, I’ll never sleep
**[Outro]**
Strip it away, layer by layer
I’ll find what’s real beneath the failure
Corrode me, break me, let it all decay
I’ll burn in the ruins, but I’ll find my way
Let me know if this captures the gritty, visceral style of Nine Inch Nails or needs any refinement!
