[Verse 1] You were the first rays of the dusk Drew the sunbeams on my midnight Told me where the curtains ought to be You measured fault lines, braced the floors tight Said you’d fortress the ghouls that walked the night It happened in a flash, a cut-scene change When the architect just … walks away [Pre-Chorus] And oh, the silence has a weight, you see A sudden, dense, new gravity You twisted space, you added to the dusk A calculated empty to sanity [Chorus] You didn’t burn the city, you ruffled up the maps And led the rivers through the comical tragedies You didn’t just flee, you adjusted the mayhem ’Till all the after-tones I’d known were drowned And I’m just living in the lucid wreck Of a shackled land and learning to see through [Verse 2] I found your notes, the fine print, I suppose The emergency exits, planned in prose A trap door hidden underneath the rug The one-way ticket, smug You talked of “cosmic binding,” not “good-bye” You called it “re-calibrating the sky” You were so clever with your turn of phrase Just a casual guy in a burning maze [Pre-Chorus] And oh, the silence has a tooth and claw It chews upon your atmospheric sight You sent the message, you left a perfect tear A calculated vacuum of the year [Chorus 2] You didn’t break the city, you just cut the power grid And caused the outage on a fuse I feared You didn’t just leave, you straight broke the law So good luck on that fresh curse And I’m just raging in this lucid wreck While you’re admiring the memories [Bridge] Did you feel the splinter in the skein? A shudder so abrupt, it felt like fall It hums a hex I think you know The sound of something that refuses to go The foundation shifts, the rules suspend A resonance doesn’t know how to end …It just returns [Outro] You didn’t burn the country, you just threw the maps And now I’m learning all my shaded blacks Moaning in this foggy island of perplexion I’m the monster they’ve built who trained herself to reset (over and over again)... (over and over again)... (over and over again)... (over and over again)... (over and over again)... ⛪🪓 © 𝟚𝟘𝟚𝟝 𝔼𝕔𝕝𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕔 𝕎𝕙𝕚𝕫
