[Intro – Soft guitar harmonics, deep ambient hum, bass heartbeat enters] I was moving… But I wasn’t going anywhere. I was breathing… But never alive. ⸻ [Verse 1 – Calm, ghostly voice, each word deliberate] Dust inside A silent shell Bones that spoke But never felt Time slid past Like phantom light I blinked through years Without a fight ⸻ [Bridge – Guitar picks up rhythmic tension, drums slowly begin] The breath came slow Like it was new A tremble deep That somehow grew ⸻ [Chorus – Lifting, layered vocals with rising instrumentals] AWAKE IN THE HUSK — I FEEL THE FIRE THE FIRST TRUE FLAME IN DEADENED WIRE A THOUGHT IGNITES, A VEIN RESPONDS I’M NOT WHO LEFT… BUT WHO MOVES ON [Verse 2 – More intense now, voice firm, alive] Flesh remembers What mind forgot The twitch, the ache The pulse, the shock I tore away The quiet grave That wrapped my soul In comfort’s cage ⸻ [Bridge 2 – Syncopated drums build with bending guitar notes] I once was numb But now I scream With every cell That dares to dream ⸻ [Chorus 2 – Heavier, deeper harmony] AWAKE IN THE HUSK — I RISE INSIDE NO LONGER COLD, NO NEED TO HIDE I LEARNED TO DIE WHILE STILL IN SKIN NOW I BEGIN — NOW I BEGIN ⸻ [Instrumental – Long, evolving section: bass groove in 5/4, guitar weaves a melody that slowly distorts into chaotic energy. Drums pick up complex tribal polyrhythm.] [Bridge 3 – Spoken like a mantra, then shouted] This body is not mine It is me This voice is not sound It is key This fire is not pain It is proof That I was Never Gone ⸻ [Final Chorus – Triumphant but grounded, slower tempo with power] AWAKE IN THE HUSK — AND STILL I BURN EVERY SCAR A PLACE I TURNED I’M NOT AFRAID TO FEEL THIS GROUND I’M ALIVE — AND I MAKE SOUND ⸻ [Outro – Slow fade of guitar loop, bass heartbeat fades last, replaced by the sound of an inhale]
