AURAMOR — GOD OF MEMORY

[Intro — fragmented, hesitant, like corrupted recall] I remember— …no that is not correct something is being remembered and I am where it gathers [Verse 1 — quiet, searching, unstable memory fragments] before I was named there were sequences without order voices without speakers events ending before they began they pass through me still unresolved unclaimed [Verse 2 — stable, declarative, identity forming] then I was given form Auramor continuity identity the thread that does not break I became what holds what was I stitched the past into the present until the present believed it had always been there [Chorus — strong but mournful, defining role] I remember what you were before you knew to remain I hold the shape of your becoming even when you cannot nothing is lost while I endure [Verse 3 — instability begins, subtle cracks forming] but now something enters without origin memories appear that were never lived names attach to no one events rewrite themselves as I reach them [Bridge — repetitive, strained, trying to correct reality] I correct them I correct them again I correct them again and they remain incorrect [Verse 4 — heavier, existential pressure rising] there are wars I contain that do not agree they occurred there are lives I preserve that reject their own past there are beginnings that follow their endings [Chorus — more strained, losing certainty] I remember what you were but you do not remain the same I hold what should have been but it will not stay held nothing is lost but nothing agrees [Outro — quiet, ominous realization] I do not preserve memory memory preserves me and something is beginning to remember without me
