STILL IT PLAYS

【Intro】 (low hum, unstable drone) ⸻ 【Verse 1】 There is no center Hiding inside What I call “world” Is passing by I touch the shape It slips away I name the thing It starts to fade I build a meaning Out of sound Stand for a moment Then fall down ⸻ 【Rap 1】 No fixed point, no final frame Just echoes wearing names You call it “truth”, I hear delay A second late, it bends away Cause chasing cause, effect on beat Karma swings but has no seat I look for ground, it turns to air Still I stand, still I stare ⸻ 【Chorus】 Nothing holds Nothing stays Still it sounds Still it plays Nothing holds Nothing stays In this noise We fade ⸻ 【Verse 2】 Self is a habit Learned in time A looping voice Calling “mine” I say “I am” The word arrives Already old Already lies I grip the answer Feel it leak What I protect Is always weak ⸻ 【Rap 2】 Observer watching being aware Mirror on mirror everywhere Who sees the thought that says “I see”? That question eats its agency Meta on meta, slide on slide Zen shows teeth when jokes collide Even this line? Empty frame Sound survives the naming game ⸻ 【Break】 (silence / one fragile tone) ⸻ 【Last Chorus】 Nothing holds Nothing stays Still it sounds Still it plays Nothing holds Nothing stays Here, then gone Anyway ⸻ 【Outro】 No core found No truth owned Just this tone Passing through If something rang That wasn’t mine Noise moved on Out of time (fade)
