[Intro – slow mechanical pulse begins; bassline moves fluidly up and down the neck, weaving through minor intervals; metallic guitar chimes in distant echo; ambient drone hums like wind through empty halls] [Verse 1 – vocals low, monotone, deliberate; bass flows with motion, climbing and descending between measures; drums rigid, mechanical] I hear the steps beneath the floor The sound I swore was mine before They whisper names I used to wear Each one a weight I still repair [Instrumental cue – bass slides upward through half-tones, brief feedback flickers; rhythm continues unbroken] [Verse 2 – voice steady, colder; bass ascends then falls in slow sequence; guitar widens in reverb, tracing dissonant harmonics] The walls remember what I’ve done Their silence burns, it doesn’t run I trace the lines the shadows make They move whenever I awake [Bridge – instrumental; bassline restless, shifting through octaves; drums hollow; guitar bends in slow, dissonant arcs] [Ambient noise swells and contracts like breath under water; faint reversed vocals bleed into mix] [Chorus – voice deepens, phrasing slower; bass climbs chromatically beneath sustained guitar] The calling below, I follow again The sound of the wound, the voice without end It leads me in circles, it keeps me confined What lives in the dark still lives in my mind [Instrumental break – bass roams freely, jumping between registers; rhythm tightens; guitar rings in metallic shards] [Final Verse – voice near whisper; bass descends in wide steps, low notes resonate against sparse percussion] I watch the floor erase my trace The mirror fades into my face No prayer, no door, no final breath Only the echo that calls for death [Outro – bass sustains alternating low and mid tones before fading; drums withdraw layer by layer; guitar dissolves in ghostly delay; final drone holds single harmonic until silence takes it]
