(Intro – whispered, eerie) You hear me, don’t you? I’ve been waiting in the silence... You can run from the world, but you can’t run from me. (Verse 1 – aggressive rap) Crawl in your skin, I’m the ghost in your veins, Every step that you take, I’m the weight and the chains. You pray for the light, but I feed on the dark, I’m the voice in your head when it tears you apart. You tell yourself “breathe” but I choke out the air, Hope tries to rise, I drag it back into despair. No matter the mask, no matter the smile, I’ve been here, Samuel, all of the while. (Pre-Chorus – melodic, haunting) I am the static in your veins, The echo screaming through the pain. You hide, you fight, but don’t you see? You’re never free… you’re tied to me. (Chorus – heavy, soaring) I’m the shadow on your soul, The cracks you can’t control. Every dream you try to save, I pull it deeper to the grave. I’m the voice you can’t replace, The truth you’re scared to face. You’ll never silence what I’ve done… ’Cause I’m the only one. (Verse 2 – darker rap, faster flow) You beg for release but I tighten the rope, Your faith is a lie and I’m stealing your hope. I bury your joy where the silence is cold, I’m the story of you that is never retold. I’m the shiver at night when your eyes start to close, I’m the thorn in your side when you reach for the rose. You’re trapped in a war that you’ll never have won, ’Cause I’m not the enemy — I am what you’ve become. (Bridge – distorted, screamed) You don’t get to erase me. You don’t get to escape me. I’m the fracture, the fear, I'm your killer. I'm the voice in the dead of night. The reason you break me. (Chorus – bigger, layered with screams) I’m the shadow on your soul, The cracks you can’t control. Every dream you try to save, I pull it deeper to the grave. I’m the voice you can’t replace, The truth you’re scared to face. You’ll never silence what I’ve done… ’Cause I’m the only one. (Outro – whispered, fading out) I am Spixe. And I’ll always… be here.
