[Intro - tanpura drone alone, bansuri enters slowly, no rhythm, raga atmosphere builds] [Verse 1 - gentle raga vocal delivery, tabla begins sparse underneath, drone holds] Astral Projection Honed her mind like a weapon Starry eyes turned to heaven Lost herself at the seven eleven Fluorescent lights and questions Searching aisles for a lesson Something in her chest kept pressing Like a second resurrection [Build - tabla accelerates, bansuri rises, amen break fractures through the raga texture] She said she on that real shit Can you feel it Haven't felt it since I was a kid My crown got popped like a lid But you can't run from within [Jungle Drop 1 - amen break erupts over tanpura drone, tabla and jungle locked together] Same river different name Same soul different frame You keep coming back the same Till you remember why you came Can't run Can't run Can't run from within The light was never lost You just forgot to let it in [Verse 2 - staccato vocal matching tabla pattern, amen break syncopates underneath] Time skip Mind slippin again You forgot your mission again Born into the same old skin Different face same origin Searching outside what lives within You been here before You'll be here again [Tabla Breakdown - amen break strips out, tabla solo over drone, bansuri ornaments return] [Raga Interlude - drone and voice only, melismatic vocal run, ancient and spacious] Gravity center Anti reality bender She cracked the code Returned to sender Every life she failed to remember Every flame reduced to ember Rises back in late December Rises back [Bridge - single tabla beat and drone, voice close and conspiratorial] Government made fractals Intergalactic particles of matter Every truth they tried to scatter Lives inside her Always had her Crown intact They couldn't shatter What was never theirs to have her [Jungle Drop 2 - amen break and tabla peak together, drone rises, maximum energy] Same river different name Same soul different frame You keep coming back the same Till you remember why you came Can't run Can't run Can't run from within The light was never lost You just forgot to let it in [Outro - jungle strips away, tanpura drone returns alone, single voice whispers] Can't run Can't run Can't run from within She remembered She remembered What she'd always been Not the body Not the lesson Not the seven eleven Just the light Just the light Just the light Turned back toward heaven
