False Vacuum (Dark Cover)

[Intro] … No warning… No escape… No time… … [Verse 1] The room forgot how to breathe… … I thought It was peace… The lights stayed on… I still called it relief… I built my house in the shadow valley… Never asked what was underneath… … Everything looked permanent… Until it all fell between… [Pre-Chorus] There were cracks… I called them shadows… They were warning calls… Of a place worse than death… And something underneath it all… … Was holding its breath… [Chorus] And I thought… Forever meant my fear would leave… … And I thought… The stillness kept me on my feet… … I mistook silence for safety… While my world vanished beneath … … The ground was already gone… Like the day became the night… … Everything was rewritten… At the speed of light… [Verse 2] That’s addiction… That’s divorce… … That’s the wound behind the force… That’s relapse… That’s waking up inside a life… You don’t remember falling in… … Some things don’t break loudly… They simply disappear within… [Pre-Chorus] No alarms… No mercy… No hand reaching through the dark… … Just a perfect little universe… Coming quietly apart… The room stayed standing… … The story stayed alive… Until it all fell inside… [Chorus] And I thought… Forever meant I’d never change… … And I thought… The stillness told me I was safe… … I mistook silence for safety… While my world vanished into space… … The ground was already gone… Like the day became the night… … Everything was rewritten… At the speed of light… [Bridge] … The universe broke… Without moving… … The air left first… And the heat began losing… … I learned to breathe… Inside the cold… … I held the shape… But lost the fold… … My life’s story… Was already told … And I truly believed… … The dark protected me… [Final Chorus] And I thought… Forever meant that death would leave… … And I thought… The room I’m in knew how to breathe… … I thought the silence belonged… Then the earth vanished beneath me… … The ground was already gone… Like day became the night… … Everything was rewritten… … At the speed of light… [Outro] … [whisper] False… Vacuum
