[VERSE 1 Eighth floor. Bare bone. Concrete skin. No glass eyes—just holes where the night gets in. City’s dead tongue. Rust in the beams. I watch the dusk swallow what’s left of my dreams. Tic-tic—wrist of silence, counting me down. One wrong step and the air will drag me down. The Zone breathes wide—cold, awake— And I’m a dot on a map that wants to break. [CHORUS VASTNESS—VASTNESS—hold me tight, I’m alone in the ruins, chewing the night. Nature takes it back, inch by inch—no sound, no trace, VASTNESS—VASTNESS—I’ve got no place. [VERSE 2 Ivy in halls. Birch in dust. “EXIT” sign flickers—like a lie I trust. Neon buzz. My throat stays dry. Beauty here is sharp—like it wants me to die. [PRE-CHORUS 2 A glint in a puddle—trap or a prize? I reach… I freeze… too many watching eyes. Here, every miracle comes wired with pain, And loneliness locks like a bolt in my brain. [CHORUS VASTNESS—VASTNESS—hold me tight, I’m alone in the ruins, chewing the night. Nature takes it back, inch by inch—no sound, no trace, VASTNESS—VASTNESS—I’ve got no place. [BRIDGE If I scream—no one. If I pray—no one. Just wind in my teeth, And rust in my lungs. I’m small in the skyline, a ghost with a name, And the Zone keeps breathing like it’s feeding on flame. [FINAL VASTNESS—VASTNESS—hold me tight, I’m alone in the ruins, chewing the night. Nature takes it back, inch by inch—no sound, no trace, VASTNESS—VASTNESS—I’ve got no place. [extra tag: repeat last line x2 with pauses] I’ve got no place. (—pause—) I’ve got no place.
