The Good Is Always Defeated
A devastating dark melodic prog metal descent into depression, self-destruction, and emotional collapse, Fragile Midwest emo fingerpicked acoustic intro soaked in loneliness and empty-night nostalgia before erupting into colossal polyrhythmic drop-tuned guitar walls, violent dissonant stabs, and relentless machine-gun double bass, Atmospheric progressive grooves shift between hypnotic syncopation and explosive djent precision while haunting ambient textures and emotional post-hardcore energy suffocate the mix, Ethereal reverb-drenched vocals flow through dark R&B phrasing, intimate whispered melodies, desperate screams, and abyssal guttural outbursts, Massive emotionally shattered chorus with cinematic melancholy, ghostly layered harmonies, sorrowful melodic leads, and crushing rhythmic tension, Chaotic breakdowns, downtempo slams, feedback storms, and beautiful depressive melodies spiral into a suffocating storm of grief, rage, isolation, and self-erasure

Lyrics
Verse
If you look inside yourself
You know what I’m sayin’s true
What you put into this world
This world does to you
Prechorus
No one’s blameless
No one’s painless
Chorus
But I can’t keep playin’ a losing game
When it’s all the same
And all the while I keep repeating
I still can’t believe it
How the good is always defeated
Verse 2
If you look around this place
You see a mess I can’t describe
Somewhere in the madness
There’s a darkness that survives
Prechorus
No one’s blameless
No one’s painless
Chorus
But I can’t keep playin’ a losing game
When it’s all the same
And all the while I keep repeating
I still can’t believe it
How the good is always defeated
Bridge
The good is always defeated
And I don’t wanna see it
And I can’t believe it
And I can’t receive it
It’s all the same
But it needs to change
And all the while I keep repeating
I still can’t believe it
How the good is always defeated
