Same words, different worlds

Physically Worse Mentally Ahead — Alternative Metal

I won't surrender to what I never got to choose

Press play, then tap another version while it plays: the song carries on from the same word, in another world.

This version hits like resistance under pressure: bruised, mechanical, and still fiercely alive. The song becomes a confrontation with recurring damage, where anger and clarity fuse into something heavier than despair.

Mood
aggressive, mechanical, intense, propulsive
Best for
workout, focus under tension, gaming, late night driving
For fans of
Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle, Stabbing Westward
Lyrics
VERSE 1

Broken with no fault, before I knew my name

born into the uphill, with no right to choose the game

with a limit on my back stitched into every stride

every single moment puts it on me one more time

and that bitter taste is something I can't wash away

never knowing who I might have been another way

and whenever I get higher, there's a thought inside my head

it's still never quite the height that it was meant to be instead

PRE-CHORUS

The edge is close, I know it all too well

but it takes more than that to make me fall

there's no time to disappear, no time to get dragged down

if it won't change on its own, then it's time to turn around

CHORUS

I won't surrender to what I never got to choose

I stay standing even when the world takes more

I've already faced the bottom, it won't take away my name

it will happen once again

and I'll be ready

VERSE 2

I heal the wound, but fate has other plans

cuts my legs out while I'm still trying to stand

I'm back at the beginning, and I don't deserve this pain

I know you now, let me see what you do

I'm worse than I was before, but something here has changed

and you don't get to take it now, it's living in my veins

if my body gives me less, then my mind pushes ahead

physically worse

mentally ahead

BRIDGE

It will happen once again, and I'm already smiling bitter

not because it hurts less now, I just know the way you're written

come back anytime you want

I'll be ready

FINAL CHORUS

I won't surrender to what I never got to choose

I stay standing even when the world takes more

I've already faced the bottom, it won't take away my name

it will happen once again

and I'll be ready

OUTRO

It will happen once again

and I'll be ready
