I Never Left (v4)

STATIC... CUT THE LINE! Steel teeth grind against the bone. The floor gives way beneath my stride. Every measured step folds inward, Every promise split off-center. Count the pulse, watch it fracture. Grip the wheel until it tears. Your perfect pattern never mattered. I carve my own collapse. BREATHE... HOLD... LET IT SNAP! I won't disappear beneath your weight. I won't wear the mask you made. From shattered concrete I still stand, Even when the ground won't stay. If this world keeps bending sideways, I'll break before I ever bow. Carry every scar like armor. I AM STILL HERE NOW. Every number turns against me. Every second cuts too deep. Bent equations choke the silence. Nothing fits the frame you keep. Jaw locked shut with rusted wire. Eyes fixed straight into the flood. Every heartbeat sounds mechanical. Still it pumps with living blood. LOWER. HEAVIER. BEND... UNTIL... IT... BREAKS! YOU... WILL... NOT... OWN... ME! When everything falls silent, I hear my own name. Not whispered. Forged beneath the pressure. DIG... THE... GRAVE... DEEPER! Stack the stone. Break the spine. Bite the hand. Sever the line. I won't disappear beneath your weight. I won't wear the mask you made. When every wall comes crashing downward, I'll be standing in the dust. Your kingdom ends in broken concrete. Mine begins beneath the wreck. The silence finally answers. I NEVER LEFT.
