[Intro | Instrumental | Sparse | Odd Time Signature | Building Tension] [Verse 1 | Cold | Controlled | Low Register] It grew from something small I buried years ago A cell of everything I never let go Feeds on the quiet, feeds on 3 AM Every time I think it's gone, it grows again [Pre-Chorus | Building | Rising Intensity] It's mine now, it's part of the tissue Cut it out, I don't know what's left of the issue [Chorus | Explosive | Powerful Belt | Full Band] IT EATS WHERE THE MEMORY LIVES BENIGN UNTIL IT ISN'T GROWING WHERE I USED TO BE MALIGNANT, AND IT'S STILL PART OF ME [Verse 2 | Cold | Controlled | Denser Imagery] Doctors can't scan for the kind I carry Metastasized in every room I'm wary Every family dinner, every old address It's sitting at the table, uninvited guest [Chorus | Explosive | Powerful Belt | Full Band] IT EATS WHERE THE MEMORY LIVES BENIGN UNTIL IT ISN'T GROWING WHERE I USED TO BE MALIGNANT, AND IT'S STILL PART OF ME [Bridge | Stripped Back | Odd Time Signature | Whispered To Belted] Maybe you don't cut it out Maybe you just learn to carry the weight Maybe survival isn't clean [Final Chorus | Full Band | Heaviest Dynamic | Cathartic] IT EATS WHERE THE MEMORY LIVES BENIGN UNTIL IT ISN'T GROWING WHERE I USED TO BE MALIGNANT, AND IT'S STILL PART OF ME [Outro | Fading | Sparse Instrumentation] Still here. Still mine. Still growing quiet. [End]
