I wake inside a fractured frame

[VERSE 1 – subdued, restrained, hollow] I wake inside a fractured frame Every thought misfires my name Static hum behind my eyes Truth dissolves, distorts, then lies I keep my distance, keep it clean Quarantine the in-between If I let you see too much You might feel what I can’t touch [PRE-CHORUS – tension rising, unease building] I’m not right I know the shape of it Bent and cracked But still I carry it [CHORUS – controlled intensity, emotional push] I want you close but not inside Don’t let me be what breaks your spine I’ll stand alone, I’ll take the weight Just don’t make me your mistake [VERSE 2 – slightly louder, more rhythmic drive] Every mirror shifts and bends I don’t recognize the ends Of where I stop, where damage bleeds Into every word I need I’ve rehearsed a thousand ways To keep you safe from my decay If I stay on the outside I can keep you purified [PRE-CHORUS – heavier, more urgent] Something’s wrong It never quiets down Deep beneath It drags me underground [CHORUS – louder, rougher edge] I want you close but not too near Don’t let me plant this kind of fear I’ll isolate, I’ll amputate Anything that contaminates [BRIDGE – atmospheric start → escalating chaos] (whispered, distant) Don’t come closer… Don’t come closer… (building layers) I could love you in abstraction From a safe and sterile fraction But reality corrodes Every line I overload (distortion rises, drums intensify) I am fracture I am strain I am signal Wrapped in pain [screamed, peak intensity] BUT I STILL REACH OUT— [BREAKDOWN – polyrhythmic, aggressive, raw] I. WANT. YOU. BUT NOT THE TRUTH OF WHAT I AM BENEATH THE SKIN CUT THE TIES BEFORE THEY ROOT I WON’T LET YOU INHERIT THIS [FINAL CHORUS – explosive, full instrumentation] I want you close but not consumed Don’t let me turn you into ruin I’ll bear the weight, I’ll disintegrate Before I let you share this state [OUTRO – fading, reflective, unresolved] (almost spoken, soft) Still I wait… Still I want… From a distance I belong… (trailing off) Not right… Not whole… But I survive alone…
