djent metal, progressive metal, bluegrass, southern gothic psychedelic metal

[Intro]
I… I take it in trembling light
Sugar ghost on a borrowed night
It melts like a secret I shouldn’t know
And suddenly I don’t feel alone

[Verse 1]
I press it down on my waiting tongue
Nothing sings where the silence hung
The room exhales and forgets my name
And I let it, I let it, I allow the change

The ceiling bends like it’s learning me
Like it’s remembering what I used to be
And every color starts to listen in
Like something underneath my skin

[Pre-Chorus]
I follow fractals in the air
Trusting something that isn’t there
Every breath is a sharpened line
Every second slips into my spine

[Chorus]
I’m not falling, I'm unfolding
Something cold is holding
My thoughts apart, my name apart
I'm feeling it rewrite my heart

And the light, oh god, the light!
It bites too soft, it burns too bright
I can’t tell where I begin
Or if I’m still inside my skin

[Verse 2]
Now I wait for it when I’m alone
Like a signal carved into bone
Raindrops falling in my reborn eyes
(Not mine...)
Devil in disguise

I chase the shimmer when it calls
Watch it crawl along my walls
And every return feels less like home
More like a place I shouldn’t roam

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I trust the fracture more than air
More than silence, more than prayer
And something in me starts to lean
Toward places I’ve never been

[Chorus]
I’m not falling, I'm refracted!
Lightly extracted
From every version I once knew
Until I don’t know what is true

And the light turns sharp, it learns my name
It plays me like a folding flame
And every step I try to take
Just splits me further into shape

[Bridge]
I see myself in broken glass
Each piece a “now,” each one a “past”
And I can’t tell if I am here
Or just the echo of a fear
Ugh… ugh…
It hums, it swells, it grows so thin
Like something trying to crawl back in
Through every thought I try to save
Through every doorway in my brain

[Breakdown]
Not real
Not real
NOT REAL!
Ahhn!
It speaks in me, it speaks in me
It bends my bones like melody
I reach, I reach, I reach again
For something I cannot comprehend

[Final Chorus]
I’m not falling, I’m erased!
No fixed place
Just shifting light and shaking name
A body learning how to break

And I don’t know what I became
But it keeps whispering the same
Soft electric, holy tone...
(You were always on your own)

[Outro]
