[Verse 1 - sparse, hypnotic, single reverb guitar, Farfisa organ barely audible, vocal distant and phased, searching tone, slow and hazy like an empty corridor] Astral Projection Honed her mind like a weapon Starry eyes turned to heaven Lost herself at the seven eleven Fluorescent lights and questions Searching aisles for a lesson Something in her chest kept pressing Like a second resurrection [Pre-Hook - bass enters with primitive pulse, drums loose and brushed, vocal echo intensifies, tape delay on every third word, tension building slowly] She said she on that real shit Can you feel it Haven't felt it since I was a kid Sippin truth from the id My crown got popped like a lid Couldn't stop it, I hid But you can't run from within [Verse 2 - Mellotron strings enter beneath everything, guitar with heavy tape delay, drums open up slightly, vocal gains presence but stays phased and disoriented] Time skip Mind slippin again You forgot your mission again Born into the same old skin Different face same origin Searching outside what lives within You been here before You'll be here again [Hook - reversed guitar bloom opens like a door into space, organ swells to full, drums crash open, vocal doubles with long analog echo, tape delay echoes "same" and "within" into infinity] Same river different name Same soul different frame You keep coming back the same Till you remember why you came Can't run Can't run Can't run from within The light was never lost You just forgot to let it in [Verse 3 - everything strips back suddenly, only primitive bass pulse and distant organ, vocal like a broken radio signal from another dimension, granular texture underneath like old tape hiss] Gravity center Anti reality bender She cracked the code Returned to sender Every life she failed to remember Every flame reduced to ember Rises back in late December Rises back [Bridge - almost complete silence, single Farfisa organ note sustained, vocal barely a whisper, heavily phased, distant feedback begins to rise beneath, paranoid and intimate simultaneously, like The Wall meets Interstellar Overdrive] Government made fractals Intergalactic particles of matter Every truth they tried to scatter Lives inside her Always had her Crown intact They couldn't shatter What was never theirs to have her [Outro - full psychedelic dissolution, all instruments layer into sustained feedback and tone, vocal becomes pure texture, indistinguishable from the sound, reversed guitar returns one final time, everything fades into a single organ drone, like consciousness releasing the body, silence at the end — held for 4 seconds] Can't run Can't run Can't run from within She remembered She remembered What she'd always been Not the body Not the lesson Not the seven eleven Just the light Just the light Just the light Turned back toward heaven
