[start] [Intro: Ethereal guitar drones with shimmering reverb, melodic bass swells interlacing through ambient noise] [Slow fade in of trip-hop inspired beat with jazzy ride cymbal textures] [Verse 1] Destroys on contact, always near, Whispers in a voice you hear. A broken throne inside your mind, Ruling only fear you find. [Guitar pulses build like fog through light, bass threads counter-melody] [Chorus] Losing grip while reaching out, Holding what slips away, no doubt. The world exists — I think it does, But I can’t tell from where I was. [Short instrumental interlude: distorted bass run under swelling reverse-reverb guitars] [Verse 2] Madness wears a shattered crown, Authority in void breaks down. Fingers fading as I grasp, Everything I touch won’t last. [Bridge: Atmospheric shift — drums fracture into polyrhythms, feedback and Byzantine mode guitar lines intertwine] Touch it — it kills. Listen — it speaks. Between the poison and the voice, Searching for what’s real, no choice. [Instrumental crescendo: melodic bass takes lead, guitars swell into cathedral chaos, vocal echoes fragment] [Outro: Ambient collapse — drums fade to brushes, bass resolves to low drone, guitar loops shimmer into silence] The world is there, or so they say, I can’t be sure, not today. Reaching for something solid, something true, Finding only doors to stumble through. [end]
