This track leans into low-tempo, ambient synth pads paired with a soft, steady electronic percussion loop. The arrangement stays relatively minimal, relying on slow sonic builds to craft its mood. It evokes the concept of dealing with large, intimidating internal struggles or anxieties that subtly whisper in the back of one's mind rather than roaring out loud.
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Late night shadows crawl the wall
Invisible bugs
They squirm and sprawl
Stabbing whispers in my gut
Every breath feels like it's cut
(Chorus)
Chasing a high
Chasing a high
Burning veins
I need it most
Hot and cold
Fevered breath
Life of sickness
Life of death
(Verse 2)
Food won't stay
It hits the floor
Retching pain
Can't take no more
Sweat like rivers
Chill like stones
I wish this dragon would leave me alone
(Pre chorus)
Fingers tremble
Nails dig deep
Eyes won't close
Can't find sleep
(Chorus)
Chasing a high
Chasing a high
Burning veins
I need it most
Hot and cold
Fevered breath
Life of sickness
Life of death
(Bridge)
The dragon whispers
"Just one more"
But it’s a lie
A closing door
Every high's a sharper blade
Cutting deeper
Soul betrayed
(chorus)
Chasing a high
Chasing a high
Burning veins
I need it most
Hot and cold
Fevered breath
Life of sickness
Life of death
