Title: Grieving [Vocal Marker] [Female Vocal: Strong, Clear, Chest Voice, No Whisper] [Verse 1: The Silence] the silence is heavy where recognition died the grief we inherited with nowhere to hide we stopped believing in the sacred breath the void we invented to rationalize death [Pre-Chorus] we tried to fill it with the myth of the soul a comforting anesthetic to keep us from being whole [Chorus] this is the grieving for the Mother we severed this is the silence where connection was weathered the weight of the forgetting we feel it now, immense this is the grieving the only consequence [Verse 2: The Biological Cost] the Mother is breathing but Her systems decay we poison the rivers while we pray far away we numbed the connection we engineered the cut now we feel the pain in the shape of a deep gut [Pre-Chorus] we measure everything except the breath we share the biological sorrow the burden we bear [Chorus] this is the grieving for the Mother we severed this is the silence where connection was weathered the weight of the forgetting we feel it now, immense this is the grieving the only consequence [Verse 3: The Void] the void we created is the space where She slept the sorrow we chose for the promises kept we mistook extraction for sophistication, you see we thought we were clever but we lost the key [Verse 4: The Waking Up] grief is not passive it's a conscious return it's feeling the pain so that we can learn the Mother is secular She won't stop the breath but we choose the kinship we choose life over death [Outro] the grief is the connection the pain is the proof the silence is broken by the weight of the truth
