The Spiral's Edge

[Intro with Pipe Organ & Synth Choir] [Verse 1] A world once bright, now flickers and fades, The paths I knew have become a maze. Every step feels colder, wrong, The beat is fast, but the time is gone. (Keep it together…) [Bridge 1] Lights flash red, the horizon tears, A shadow of me stands, unprepared. [Chorus 1] The spiral twists; I’m caught inside, This endless loop where my truths collide. Rings I chased now fall like ash, A shattered dream—a world collapsed. (I can’t stop!) [Break] "Where did it start? Was there ever a start?" [Verse 2] The trees are black; they scrape the sky, The wind howls questions—who, what, why? The rings turn red; they weigh me down, A mirror shatters—I see the crown. (Not me... not me.) [Pre-Chorus] The faster I run, the more I see, This twisted world grew out of me. [Chorus 2] The spiral twists; I’m losing track, What’s ahead is pulling me back. The horizon cracks; it swallows my name, An endless race in a corrupted game. (Let it end!) [Hook] Steps fall heavy; the ground gives way, The light’s gone dim, swallowed by gray. The voice I hear—my own, it screams, A haunting echo in fractured dreams. (Make it stop!) [Break] (Off-beat talking) "No escape. You made this, didn’t you? You did..." [Verse 3] I’ve seen this face—it’s mine, I know, But darker, broken, it doesn’t glow. It smiles at me with hollow eyes, The truth it speaks, a perfect lie. (Stop lying!) [Bridge 2] The lines collapse, the walls fall through, The shadow steps closer—it’s always been you. [Chorus 3] (Guitar and organ clash, chaotic crescendo) The spiral twists; I’ve hit the edge, The end is close, but there’s no ledge. A fractured world of my design, No freedom here—it’s all confined. (This is mine…) [Outro] "This isn’t your world. It never was."
