[Verse 1 — soft, sacred, almost hymn-like] I kept a quiet place for You Somewhere the noise could not get through A fragile light, a hidden room Where I could feel something like truth But I let the silence overflow Filled it with things I thought I’d know Now every corner glows too bright And I can’t see past all this light [Pre-Chorus — tension rising] Did I trade the sky for something small? Did I stop listening at all? [Chorus — heavy, dual vocals] (Clean) I had heaven in my hands I let it slip like shifting sand (SCREAM layered / cutting through) I LET IT GO—I LET IT DIE (Clean) Now I’m reaching through the glow But it’s not You I’m reaching for (SCREAM) IT’S NEVER YOU—IT’S NEVER YOU [Verse 2 — intimate but darker] I learned to worship what I see A thousand eyes staring at me They gave me shape, they gave me worth But pulled my focus from the earth Every answer came too fast Nothing sacred ever lasts I feel the absence in my chest A hollow echo dressed as rest [Pre-Chorus — heavier build] Was there a voice beneath it all? A distant, fading call? [Chorus — heavier, more aggressive] (Clean) I had heaven in my lungs I drowned it out with borrowed tongues (SCREAM) I FILLED THE VOID WITH ANYTHING (Clean) Now I’m choking on the sound Of something lost I never found (SCREAM) I CAN’T GET BACK—I CAN’T GET OUT [Bridge — stripped, eerie, then rupture] (Soft, almost spoken) If You were there, I couldn’t tell I built my own forgiving hell (Pause — then explosion) (SCREAM) TEAR IT DOWN—TEAR IT OUT OF ME EVERY FALSE DIVINITY [Breakdown — slow, crushing] (Half-time, chant-like) Take it all, I don’t need the light If it blinds me from what’s right (SCREAM over final hit) GIVE ME BACK MY SIGHT [Final Chorus — full collision] (Clean + layered screams) I had heaven in my hands I let it slip, I let it end (SCREAMS weaving through lines) I LET IT DIE—I LET IT DIE (Clean) If You’re still there beyond the glow I’m breaking everything I know (SCREAM) JUST TO FIND YOU AGAIN [Outro — quiet, unresolved] I kept a place… I let it fade…
