[Intro — single pizzicato string ostinato ticking alone, sparse and minimal] [Verse 1 — half-spoken half-sung, urgent and rhythmic, second string layer entering] I can hear it ticking, ticking in my brain Every single idea multiplying like a chain Can't shut off the engine, can't slow down the train Genius and the madness running through the same vein Building something bigger than I even understand Every single answer just creates a new demand [Verse 2 — third string layer stacking, low brass entering, cadence tightening] Faster than I think, faster than I speak Building up a tower that I know is getting weak But I can't stop building, can't stop the design Every single second I'm a hundred steps behind The world keeps asking questions and I keep finding more Every answer opens up another hidden door [Hook — full strings layering, percussion entering, obsessive repeating cadence] Faster than I think, faster than I run This the price of building what has never yet been done Faster than I think, running out of time Racing my own mind and I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop [Verse 3 — cadence pushing forward, brass thickening, tension mounting] They don't understand the weight of what I carry Every single number something dangerous, something scary But I can't put it down now, I already know too much Every single thing I touch turns into something more, something rushed Is this purpose or obsession, I don't know the line Somewhere in the chaos I lost track of space and time [Hook — full strings layering, percussion entering, obsessive repeating cadence] Faster than I think, faster than I run This the price of building what has never yet been done Faster than I think, running out of time Racing my own mind and I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop [Bridge — strings stripping back briefly, urgent whisper, tension held] Can you hear it, can you hear the sound Of a mind that never learned how to slow down [Final Build — all layers stacking to maximum intensity, tempo pushing to fastest point, no release] Faster than I think, faster than I run This the price of building what has never yet been done Faster than I think, running out of time Racing my own mind and I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop [Outro — everything cuts abruptly to silence on the final beat, no fade, no resolution]
