Verse 1 (blissful / unaware) I lit a candle in the quiet air Heaven felt closer when I said a prayer Gold on the altar, soft on my tongue I swore the world had only begun Your voice like scripture in the hollowed dome I felt so safe in the unknown Pre-Chorus (first fracture) But the choir sang just a little off-key Like something was learning how to breathe through me The marble shimmered, then started to sweat A holy feeling I don’t forget Chorus (seductive awakening) Hold me under the stained glass light If this is sin, it feels like flight I can’t tell mercy from your touch anymore But I’m not innocent like I was before Verse 2 (decay begins) The organ stutters in a broken key Angels flicker where they used to be My prayers repeat but they don’t come back Like echoes lost in a feedback crack I kiss the silence where the truth should stay It kisses back in a different way Pre-Chorus 2 (tilt into madness) Now the choir isn’t singing—it’s calling my name Every note feels like it’s not the same The altar bends, the candles cry Something holy just learned to lie Final Chorus (collapse / surrender) Hold me under the burning sky If God is watching, let Him try I can’t tell devotion from the noise anymore I’m not myself at the center of the storm Outro (madness / industrial void) No hymns remain Just pulse and stain And I am the voice That forgot its name
