[30 Second Grand Piano Intro - Vocals - Atmospheric haunting falsettos] I hear it calling buried deep beneath silence.... A distant calling pulling me toward meaning... The drag of my feet digs deeper than every single promise that I ever broke... But something inside refuses surrender... [Verse 1 - Clean --> Fry Screamed] I kept running from the voice inside me! Every warning drowned beneath my doubt! Anxiety built from the words left unspoken! I built walls just to hide the truth! Every failure carved into my conscience! Every memory sharpening the blade! I felt the distance growing ever wider! Still the pull refused to fade! [Pre-Chorus - Fry Screamed] I tried to bury what I feared becoming! A withered broken shell of myself! The closer that I get to breaking! The louder every word it says! [Chorus - Full Fry Screamed] THIS IS THE CALLING I CAN'T IGNORE! PULLING ME BACK TO WHO I WAS BEFORE! THIS IS THE CALLING TAKE CONTROL! DRAG ME UNDER MAKE ME WHOLE! [Verse 2 - Clean --> Fry Screamed] Every scar became a map to follow! Every loss a step toward clarity! I felt the weight of hesitation shatter! When I chose who I would be! No more hiding behind my failures! No more silence feeding fear! I can feel the moment getting closer! Everything becomes clear! [Pre-Chorus - Fry Screamed] The tension builds inside my chest again! Like I'm seconds from collapse! But something stronger keeps me standing! No more turning back! [Chorus - Full Fry Screamed] THIS IS THE CALLING I CAN'T IGNORE! PULLING ME BACK TO WHO I WAS BEFORE! THIS IS THE CALLING TAKE CONTROL! DRAG ME UNDER MAKE ME WHOLE! [Harmonized Saxophone and Guitar Solo] [Breakdown - High Fry Screams mixed with Low Gutturals] I CAN'T OUTRUN WHAT'S INSIDE ME! I CAN'T SILENCE WHAT I'M MEANT TO BE! EVERY DOUBT COLLIDES WITH TRUTH! I FEEL IT TEARING STRAIGHT THROUGH! THE CALLING RIPS MY CHEST OPEN! THE CALLING LEAVES ME NO OPTION! THE CALLING DRAGS ME INTO LIGHT! I ANSWER NOW I CHOOSE TO FIGHT! [Final Chorus - High Fry Screams mixed with Low Gutturals] THIS IS THE CALLING I CAN'T IGNORE! PULLING ME BACK TO WHO I WAS BEFORE! THIS IS THE CALLING TAKE CONTROL! DRAG ME UNDER MAKE ME WHOLE! [Grand Piano and Cello Outro, Vocals - Atmospheric Haunting Falsettos] I hear it clearer than ever before... No more fear when I fall... I finally understand the meaning... I answered the calling after all...
