Breaking Point by Girard
Breaking Point
[Verse 1: Soprano]
The (walls) are (closing in,) I can’t breathe,
Every (whispered) doubt, a knife in my sleeve,
I’ve held on (tight) for far too (long,)
But this weight, it’s just too (strong.)
[Verse 2: Alto]
The pressure builds, (I feel it rise,)
A storm that swirls behind my (eyes,)
The cracks are showing, (can’t disguise,)
(This) fire (burning )deep inside.
[Chorus: All]
Breaking point, (the final straw,)
No turning back from what (I saw,)
A (shattered) soul, (no )more to (give,)
In this( darkness,) I can’t (live.)
[Verse 3: Tenor]
(I’ve) walked (this) path, (each )step a (fall,)
The echoes of the past still call,
But now( I )stand on the (edge) of night,
(Ready )to (give up) the( fight.)
[Verse 4: Bass]
I’ve fought the demons,( kept them at bay,)
But now they come,( they won’t obey,)
The mask I wore has (cracked) and (slipped,)
My (sanity,) it’s finally (ripped.)
[Chorus: All]
Breaking point, (the final straw,)
No turning back from what( I saw,)
A shattered soul, (no more to give,)
In this (darkness,) I can’t (live.)
[Bridge: Soprano & Tenor]
The voices scream, (they pull me down,)
Into the (depths )where (I) will drown,
I (reach )for( light,) but it fades away,
Lost in the night,( I can’t stay.)
[Bridge: Alto & Bass]
The chains that bind, they break and (twist,)
My mind’s a (fog,) a deadly (mist,)
I’m (slipping,) falling into despair,
BThere’s nothing left, just empty air.
[Chorus: All]
Breaking( point,) the final straw,
No turning back from what (I saw,)
A shattered soul, no more to give,
In (this )darkness,( I can’t live.)
[Outro: All, intensifying then fading]
Breaking point…
(Breaking point…)
No return…
(No return…)
A shattered soul…
(A shattered soul…)
In this darkness…
(In this darkness…)
