Nothing Knows My Name (Vicious cover)

[Verse 1] Beneath indifferent stars that never notice, I drift through fragments of lives unlived. A breath against the wind, dust in the current, Reaching for futures already dissolved. I see you move where the starlight thins, Each breath you take still carves something in. You are not dust the dark can dismiss, You exist. You persist. You resist. [Pre-Chorus 1] The pull of oblivion drags me deeper, Silent howls lost in the roar. Why resist the unraveling when everything slips? Hearts still pound, but spirits are torn. Your voice survives the collapsing sound, Even torn things still hold ground. The pull you feel, the strain you endure, Means something in you is not unsure. [Chorus] Erased in the relentless march of hours, Insignificant, crushed beneath the tower. Forward we drag ourselves, into the blank, Dread carved deep in every bone we rank. Terror of the nothing that knows my name, In this merciless, repeating game. Hours don’t erase what they pass through, Pressure proves what’s solid is true. If nothing knows the shape of your flame, It would never have learned your name. [Verse 2] Memories bleed out like ink in water, Each step ahead costs another piece of me. Cosmos turns without a single glance, I'm only a spark that’s already spent. Ink still stains though it starts to fade, Not all the cost is truly paid. Even spent sparks scar the air, The dark remembers what burned there. [Pre-Chorus 2] The endless stares back with cold, flat eyes, Devouring wishes, multiplying lies. Why grip the threads when they fray so fast? In the quiet, we’re already past. Threads only break when bearing weight, Quiet does not mean too late. What frays was holding something real, What cuts the hand proves what you feel. [Chorus] Erased in the relentless march of hours, Insignificant, crushed beneath the tower. Forward we drag ourselves, into the blank, Dread carved deep in every bone we rank. Terror of Terror of the nothing that knows my name, In this merciless, repeating game. If it knows your name, you shaped the frame. [Breakdown] (Scream) BREAK! DOWN! Into the black! Nothing matters, no coming back! Insignificance grinds the spirit flat! Wiped clean forever, imagine that! (clean, steady, under the scream) Broken still counts as form, Shattered isn’t unborn. Feel the dread climb, strangle the flame! Marching blind, forever the same! Why bother breathing in this cruel machine? Fading faster, no in-between! Breath is refusal dressed as air, Continuing says you’re still there. [Bridge] In the stillness I taste the finish line, A universe that never learned to care. For fleeting lights that flare and disappear, We’re only borrowed time Borrowed still alters the sum, Even brief light changes what’s become. [Final Chorus] Erased in the relentless march of hours, Insignificant, crushed beneath the tower. Forward we drag ourselves, into the blank, Dread carved deep in every bone we rank. Terror of the nothing that knows my name, In this merciless, repeating game… (overlapping, restrained) Names outlast collapse and flame. (Fade) erased… insignificant… dread… written… present… said…
