Down with the Doom

Lyrics

[Intro ๐Ÿ”ฅ][Energy: Mid]
(heavy guitar riff โ€” driving, minor key)
(drums enter hard)
(trumpet stab โ€” sharp, jarring)
(the sound of a mind under attack)

[Verse 1 ๐Ÿ”ฅ][Energy: Mid-High]
(deep vocal โ€” controlled, menacing)
Three in the morning
The virus fires up
Every worst case
Lining up

Job gone
Health gone
Everything
You built
Gone

The future
Screaming
At you
Like it's already
Here

[Pre-Chorus ๐Ÿ”ฅ][Energy: Build]
(drums tighten, trumpet enters low and sharp)
But it isn't here
It was never here
You built a prison
Out of air

Ninety percent
Of what you dread
Never arrives
Never was
Ever
There

[Chorus ๐Ÿ”ฅ][Energy: Explosive]
(heavy riff HITS โ€” trumpet stabs on every beat)
Down with the doom
Virus not a vision
Down with the doom
Sickness not the truth
Down with the doom
You're bleeding out
For a future
Built from nothing
Built from you

Down with the doom
Name it
Down with the doom
Fight it
Down with the doom
It's a liar
It's a liar
It's a liar

DOWN
WITH
THE DOOM

[Verse 2 ๐Ÿ”ฅ][Energy: High]
(heavier โ€” riff driving relentless)
You survived
Every Tuesday
That your Sunday
Said would kill you

Every crisis
That the 3am
So carefully
Would build you

Into rubble

But here you are
Still standing
While the doom
That said it had you

Lied

[Pre-Chorus ๐Ÿ”ฅ][Energy: Build]
(trumpet rises hard, drums punishing)
The worry doesn't protect you
Doesn't armor you
Doesn't save you

It just
Steals today
While you bleed
For a tomorrow
That was never
Coming anyway

[Chorus ๐Ÿ”ฅ][Energy: Explosive]
Down with the doom
Virus not a vision
Down with the doom
Sickness not the truth
Down with the doom
You're bleeding out
For a future
Built from nothing
Built from you

Down with the doom
Name it
Down with the doom
Fight it
Down with the doom
It's a liar
It's a liar
It's a liar

DOWN
WITH
THE DOOM

[Bridge ๐Ÿ˜ญ][Energy: Low]
(single guitar note โ€” everything else drops)
(trumpet breath โ€” one long held note)
(close vocal, almost spoken)
Your brain is doing
Its job
Badly

Scanning for threats
That aren't there
Running the saber tooth protocol
On an empty field

(drums enter โ€” slow, deliberate)
It mistakes
The imagined
For the real

And you suffer
For futures
That dissolve
Before they arrive

That's not weakness
That's a miscalibrated
Survival machine

And you
Are not
Its prisoner

[Bridge ๐Ÿ”ฅ][Energy: Explosive]
(full band CRASHES โ€” trumpet blazing full)
So you look at it
You name it
DOOM

You say โ€”
I see you
I know what you are
You're fear
In the future's
Clothes

And today
Is real
And today
Is here
And today
Is the only thing
That actually
Exists

And doom
Doesn't live
In today

[Final Chorus ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ][Energy: Explosive]
(overwhelming โ€” guitars doubled, trumpet at full blaze)
(drums punishing and relentless)
Down with the doom
Virus not a vision
Down with the doom
Sickness not the truth
Down with the doom
Today is real
Today is here
Today is all
There is

Down with the doom
This breath
Down with the doom
This moment
Down with the doom
This actual
Living
Day

Is the weapon
Is the answer
Is the only thing
Doom
Cannot
Touch

DOWN WITH THE DOOM
DOWN WITH THE DOOM
DOWN
WITH
THE
DOOM

[Outro ๐Ÿ”ฅ][Energy: Low][Abrupt End]
(riff slows โ€” one note at a time)
(trumpet holds one long fading note)
(drums drop to single kick)
(everything building to silence)

Doom said โ€”

(beat)

Not today

STOP
