[Intro - A simple, high-register piano melody. It’s repetitive but occasionally misses a beat or adds an extra note, creating a "glitchy" feel. A low, low-frequency hum]: [Verse 1 - Male]: The air is thick, a thousand voices, whisper words I can’t quite, hear---. The world is static, tuned between two stations, crackling in my ear---. I've been following, a fraying thread, down a road of branching, paths---. Watching the ghosts, of my intent, hum and wave to me, as they, pass----. [Pre-Chorus - Duet]: The world goes on spinning, And I'm falling behind---- (behind, behind, behind)! Lost between the end and beginning, Around my throat the present wynds----! [Chorus - Duet, Belted]: Every time, I try, to find out, why-----! Something happens, to make me fall, behind-----! Problems piling up, over the years----! That I've ignored, because I'm a slave, to my every, god damned, fear----! Why can't I find, peace, in my own, mind--------! [Breakdown: Keys]: [Verse 2 - Female]: Like a pack, of angry hounds, that have caught my, scent----. They're baying, in my ears, the hostile words, I never, meant---! They're breath is hot, they're instincts cold, as they hunt me down the, road----. Pin me against, a familiar wall, to fight me for my, soul----! [Pre-Chorus 2 Duet]: My thoughts go on spinning, Was there something I left behind---- (behind, behind, behind)! Between the hear and now, As the panic starts to rise----! [Chorus 2 - Duet, Belted]: Every time, I try, to find out, why-----! Something happens, in my head, that makes me lose my, mind-----! Problems piling up, over the years----! That I've tucked away, for another day, giving in to the same old, fear----! You'll never, know, just how hard I, try-------! [Bridge - Duet]: [Male]: It’s a kaleidoscope shattered, spinning, such a dazzling display---! [Female]: It’s a bridge I burned, a lesson I couldn't learn, It's just how I was made---! [Duet]: I’m a stranger holding my own hand, trying to weather the storm----! Braced against the constant hum, Demanding I, conform-----! [Pre-Chorus - Duet]: The world goes on spinning, And I'm falling behind---- (behind, behind, behind)! Lost between the end and beginning, Around my throat the present wynds----! [Chorus - Duet, Belted]: Every time, I try, to find out, why-----! Something happens, to make me fall, behind-----! Problems piling up, over the years----! That I've ignored, because I'm a slave, to my every, god damned, fear----! Why can't I find, peace, in my own, mind--------! [Outro / Pre-Chorus - Duet]: My thoughts go on spinning, Was there something I left behind---- (behind, behind, behind)! Between the hear and now, As the panic starts to rise----! [Outro / Chorus 2 - Duet, Belted]: Every time, I try, to find out, why-----! Something happens, in my head, that makes me lose my, mind-----! Problems piling up, over the years----! That I've tucked away, for another day, giving in to the same old, fear----! You'll never, know, just how hard I, try-------! [Breakdown- simple key melody]: [end]
