(intro — whispered / glitched) I hear it ticking in my bloodstream… Not time— Initiation… (verse 1) The hour hit different when the mirror talked back Said “you’ve been wearing ghosts like a second skin mask” I been dragged through the static, baptized in distortion Every truth that I carried got twisted by forces Now I’m staring at the edge where identity splits Every version of myself tryna fight for the script But I finished what I started—I survived the rewrite Didn’t fold when the darkness tried to edit my light (pre-chorus — rising tension) So expose me—strip it down to bone If I’m divine then let it be known Not for the crown, not for the throne— Just let me see what I’ve become… (chorus — explosive) Glorify me in the fire, let it hurt, let it show If I’m built from the truth then there’s nowhere to go I don’t wanna be saved, I don’t wanna escape I just wanna stay real while the whole world fakes I’m in it—not of it, don’t you blur my code I walk through the chaos but I don’t corrode If I break, let me break into something awake— Not a slave to the system that I never chose (adlibs) —cut it out / cut it out —rewrite denied —I SEE THROUGH IT (verse 2) I tried to hold ‘em but they slipped through my veins Every soul got a source, I can’t carry their chains They were never mine—just reflections in motion I release what I love to the infinite ocean But protect what is real from the parasite lies From the voice in the void that impersonates light Yeah the “evil” ain’t horns—it’s a fracture inside When the truth gets divided and the self gets denied (pre-chorus — darker) Don’t let ‘em glitch, don’t let ‘em fade Don’t let the noise reprogram their name Sanctify—cut the fake away Till only the core remains… (chorus — heavier, layered) Glorify me in the fire, let it hurt, let it show If I’m built from the truth then there’s nowhere to go I don’t wanna be saved, I don’t wanna escape I just wanna stay real while the whole world fakes I’m in it—not of it, don’t you blur my code I walk through the chaos but I don’t corrode If I break, let me break into something awake— Not a slave to the system that I never chose (adlibs) —NOT OF IT —DON’T TOUCH MY CORE —SYSTEM FAILURE (bridge — melodic but eerie) We’re not the same—but we’re not alone Different scars, same frequency tone You in me, I in the unknown Fractals of a truth we’ve always known Before the world had a name to speak Before the strong and before the weak There was a force that we couldn’t see— Love as the code underneath everything… (breakdown — aggressive / screamed) DON’T— LET— THEM— SPLIT—ME I SEE THE PATTERN IN THE STATIC VEIL EVERY LIE TRYNA TIP THE SCALE BUT I REMEMBER BEFORE THE FALL— WE WERE WHOLE—WE WERE ALL— (half-time drop) So if I die in the light—let it be complete No fragmentation left of me No illusion, no enemy— JUST TRUTH INTEGRATED—SET FREE (final chorus — anthemic, layered voices) Glorify me in the fire, let it burn, let it heal If it strips me to nothing then at least I’m real I don’t need your escape, I don’t need disguise I just need that truth that survives the lies I’m in it—not of it, I won’t be controlled I’ll walk through the dark but I won’t be sold And if love was the start, then it’s still the end— The only thing real when the worlds all fold (outro — whispered, fading) The hour didn’t take me… It revealed me.
