Every prayer I ever whispered  
Came back colder than before.  
Every hand I reached toward Heaven  
Left another wound to mourn.  
I keep the grief beneath my tongue  
Like broken glass I cannot spit—  
A small, familiar punishment  
For still believing any of it.

[Verse 2]  
I buried God beneath my skin  
To feel if anything remained.  
But all I found was empty space  
And something feeding on my pain.  
Nails through nerve,  
Wire through bone—  
I built a throne to die alone.  
Mother wept in sulfur rain,  
Father never spoke my name.

The halls were empty, cold, and white,  
The walls forgot the sound of grace.  
Heaven’s echo choked itself to death  
And left its shadow on my face.  
I hear the angels in my sleep,  
Not screaming—  
Just too tired to sing.  
Their broken wings drag through the ash  
Of every lost and holy thing.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Peel away this human face.  
There is nothing left to save.  
If salvation means forgiveness,  
Why was I made this way?

[Chorus]  
I TRANSCEND—  
THE WOUND OF EXISTENCE.  
I BECOME THE SORROW IN THE LIGHT.  
I ASCEND—  
THROUGH CATHEDRALS COLLAPSING,  
TO WATCH THE SERAPHIM DIE.

No more hope.  
No more healing.  
No more reasons left to need.  
Only silence.  
Only hunger.  
Only grief that will not leave.

TRANSCEND.

[Verse 3]  
The sky split open like a throat  
And poured its sickness into the sea.  
Every child of paradise  
Turned their hollow eyes from me.  
I walked through fields of frozen crosses  
Where the earth refused to bloom;  
The dead lay stitched beneath the soil,  
Still praying from inside their tombs.

My reflection flickers in the glass—  
Machine and marrow, ash and wire.  
I do not know the thing I am,  
Only what it has survived.  
My veins are full of winter now,  
My hands are numb with phantom blood.  
I wear my body like a coffin  
And call the darkness love.

## Spoken-Word Breakdown

*(Quiet, cracked voice—almost too exhausted to speak.)*

I did not want to become this.

I did not wake up  
and choose the emptiness.

I only wanted to be held  
without feeling like a burden.

I only wanted one prayer  
to come back answered.

But the ceiling stayed silent.  
The sky stayed shut.  
And every person who said  
they would never leave…

left.

So I learned to make a home  
inside the hurt.

I learned to sleep beside it.  
To feed it.  
To call it mine.

And now…  
when someone reaches for me,  
I do not know how to be saved.

I only know how to disappear.

## Breakdown

I AM NOT HEALED.  
I AM NOT WHOLE.  
I AM A GRAVE  
WITH A PULSE IN ITS SOUL.

NO HANDS TO HOLD.  
NO VOICE TO HEAR.  
I KEEP ON BREATHING—  
BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN HERE.

[Final Chorus]  
I TRANSCEND—  
THE BOUNDARIES OF FEAR.  
I LEAVE THE SOUND OF GOD’S WEEPING BEHIND.  
I OUTLIVE  
THE MEMORY OF LOVE—  
THE LAST LIVING SHADOW  
WHEN CREATION GOES BLIND.

No more warmth.  
No more pleading.  
No more hands held out for grace.  
Only ruin.  
Only hunger.  
Only sorrow wearing my face.

TRANSCEND.

[Outro]  
No angels descend.  
No choir remains.  
No voice calls softly through the gate.

Only the void  
speaking my name  
with the tenderness  
of something  
too late.

[Verse 1] Static breath… A room without a window… I wake beneath the weight of names That no one says anymore. A halo hangs above the flood, Rusting slowly in the dark; I watched the saints become smoke And felt them settle in my heart. Every prayer I ever whispered Came back colder than before. Every hand I reached toward Heaven Left another wound to mourn. I keep the grief beneath my tongue Like broken glass I cannot spit— A small, familiar punishment For still believing any of it.
