[spoken word] Opening track of The Door That Vanishes, Start to End drifts through Corin’s dreamlike haze — a whispered reflection on beginnings that are already endings. With hushed vocals, airy harmonies, and glitch-kissed dreampop textures, the song feels like stepping through the first door into the alley, where memory and time collapse into each other.

Visit thevanishingroom.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I step into the alley… and the world begins. [Verse 1] The lamps hum names I can’t recall, Windows ache with painted light. Every step pulls threads around me, Every shadow carries my weight. [Chorus 1] The first word carves the silence, Ashes scatter into the fire. I see you arriving before you leave, The prologue bleeds the ending in my blood. [Verse 2] A locket opens, smoke inside, The letters twist but never form. Keys appear before their locks, Doors swing open without a hand. [Chorus 2 – variation] The first vow wakes the silence, Ashes drift where sparks conspire. I hear your breath before you exhale, The prelude stains the ending in my blood. [Bridge] Clocks ignite, their hands run forward, Dust scatters from the lungs of stone. Every fracture splinters wider, And the scars keep singing. [Verse 3] Shadows unravel from their bodies, Moonlight spills and will not stop. My breath escapes and does not return, I walk deeper into the last mistake. [Chorus 3] The first name shouts through silence, Ashes blaze as flames conspire. I see your face before it vanishes, The opening devours the last. [Outro] And still I walk the alley, until the world forgets.
