[Verse 1] I am the word you bite back, A quiet shape beneath your breath. You gave me time, you gave me names, Now every promise answers for itself. [Pre-Chorus] The floor gives way beneath the lie, The buried count comes due tonight. [Chorus] The reckoning has begun! No door can keep the past outside. The reckoning has begun! Stand where the borrowed years collide. You called me silence—now I speak; The reckoning has begun! [Verse 2] A faceless witness in the room, I learned the weight of every debt. You built your shelter out of smoke, But nothing stays unmeasured yet. [Pre-Chorus] The floor gives way beneath the lie, The buried count comes due tonight. [Chorus] The reckoning has begun! No door can keep the past outside. The reckoning has begun! Stand where the borrowed years collide. You called me silence—now I speak; The reckoning has begun! [Bridge] Say my name without your teeth clenched. Face the sum you left behind. Every hour you tried to bury Has returned to claim its time. [Final Chorus] The reckoning has begun! No door can keep the past outside. The reckoning has begun! Stand where the borrowed years collide. You called me silence—now I speak; The reckoning has begun! [Outro] Under your tongue, I waited. Now speak.
