The Cost Of Distrust (Gothic Metalstep)

This dark track is inspired by my own life experiences, observations from systems, people, psychology and my own thoughts that have shaped me. Every riff, every beat, and every dark melody and lyrics reflects emotions I’ve lived through and ideas I’ve wrestled with.

Heavy guitars, storming drums, and haunting atmospheres are not just sounds created with AI—they’re a mirror of a restless mind, moments of anger, sadness, and fleeting clarity.

Listen alone, or let it accompany your creative projects, late-night thoughts, or any moment when music is the only way to feel understood.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
I hear a voice that never rests
Cuts through me, cuts through them
Points out every flaw it sees
Like it’s justice, like it’s clean

Why don’t they own what they’ve done?
Why’s no one facing what they run from?
I carry anger like a blade
Sharp enough to make them pay

Pre-Chorus
Every finger that I raise
Finds its way back to my face

Chorus
The cost of distrust, it’s adding up
The cost of distrust, I can’t give up
These quiet wars inside my head
Leave everything I love for dead

The cost of distrust, it never ends
The cost of distrust, I lose again
I build the walls, I play it tough
But I still pay the cost of distrust
Cost of distrust

Verse 2
I think I hate everyone I see
But it’s not them, it’s fear in me
I read between the smallest lines
Turn shadows into warning signs

If I push first, I won’t get burned
If I leave, I won’t get hurt
So I shut doors before they close
Call it strength, but no one knows

Pre-Chorus
Every time I push away
Comes from fear I never say

Chorus
The cost of distrust, it’s adding up
The cost of distrust, I can’t give up
These quiet wars inside my head
Leave everything I love for dead

The cost of distrust, it never ends
The cost of distrust, I lose again
I build the walls, I play it tough
But I still pay the cost of distrust
Cost of distrust

Bridge
I become the thing I fear
Just to see who disappears
Build a version they can’t love
Then say they weren’t enough

So I twist every word they say
Find a reason they’ll betray
In the end it’s always me
Choosing what I’m gonna see

Final Chorus
The cost of distrust, it’s all I know
The cost of distrust, I don’t let go
These quiet wars consume my head
I starve the good and feed the dread

The cost of distrust, it takes it all
The cost of distrust, I build the wall
I keep myself locked up enough
Still paying every cost of distrust
Cost of distrust
