[Low drone builds from silence; bass trembles under shifting percussion; guitar scrapes in fractured echoes; faint voice drifts through reverb like memory] [Verse fragment – whispered vocals, uncertain rhythm] The streets remember what we’ve lost Reflections hum in broken glass Every corner asks for faith But no one answers back [Instrumental surge – distorted bass overtakes drums; guitar wails in short metallic bursts] [Spoken passage – monotone, close to mic] I follow the flicker Past neon smoke, past meaning’s edge Names blur, signs bleed Nothing points home [Guitar feedback fades; sudden stillness; isolated bass pulse repeats irregularly] [Second section – rhythm half-tempo; vocals crack but stay measured] I built my truth in shifting sand A monument of empty hands Each shadow dressed in borrowed light Each prayer a mirrored lie [Instrumental interlude – drums vanish; bass loops; synth noise hums like a distant siren; guitar rises in waves of delay] [Refrain – shouted, layered vocals; distortion peaks] There’s no center Only spin Every door Leads within [Collapse – full drop of percussion; guitar and bass drift apart in arrhythmic chaos; faint echo of previous line repeats mechanically] [Bridge of decay – dissonant guitar harmonics tremble; bass detunes slowly; synthetic pulse mimics heartbeat fading] [Voice whispers indistinct phrases, reversed in mix] [Final descent – drums return faintly; rhythm slows until collapse; guitar dissolves in feedback cloud; bass sustains final low note under silence] [Outro – room tone, no music; last vocal breath, almost inaudible:] “I keep walking, because I have to.”
