Homunculus Sins

[Intro] Little man, little lie Made of wire and glass and sighs I built you small so I could hold Every poison I can’t control [Verse 1] You blink in veiled light, feed on my need I whisper secrets that you never bleed Sigil devotion, vein-shaped chain I curse your silence then scream your name [Pre-Chorus] You grow when I shrink You shine when I sink My perfect defect My favorite mistake [Chorus] Homunculus I made you ugly so I stay beautiful Homunculus, carry my rust I hate you most when I need you so [Verse 2] You wear my anger like a second skin I break you open, crawl back in Every notification, every ghost reply Another shard of me that learned to lie [Bridge] (slow down dramatically to intimate half-spoken word delivery, processed through vocoder-like filter, minimal pulsing bass and distant reversed guitar swells) I curse the hand that shaped you I kiss the wound that made you true Now dance for me, little god While I rot inside your heart Breathe with me [Instrumental Break] (return abruptly to full tempo – chaotic math-rock explosion, no lyrics – let the polyrhythms and skronking leads breathe) [Final Chorus] Homunculus, homunculus I made you ugly so I stay beautiful Homunculus, swallow my dust I love you most when I’m killing us both [Outro] Fade with me Fade with me Is this breath mine or forged from clay? Am I the maker, or the thing I made?
