[Verse 1] White-washed walls in a chemical haze We keep our heads down, we number the days You preach the pure, a porcelain creed But in the cracks I can see the need The air is clean, yet heavy to breathe I taste the hush that hides beneath A hollow chant, a uniform gaze A perfect order in a mirrored maze [Pre-Chorus] There’s a tremor deep in the marble floor A secret seed beneath the door They call it filth, they call it blight But it’s the pulse that wakes the night I raise the cup, the bitter wine The truth is blood, and it tastes like mine [Chorus] This is the heresy My heart begins to move on its own This is the alchemy The sacred made flesh, the unknown Shedding my skin, the transformation within I am the question, I am the sin I drink the knowledge and I'm finally alive [Verse 2] Your perfect silence is painted gold A script repeated until it’s cold I read the prayer behind your eyes It’s written in hunger you disguise Your holy ground is a borrowed tomb I’ve seen the roots that pierce its bloom I walk your halls, I feel the ache The sleeping minds begin to wake [Pre-Chorus] You see the change in this open gaze The pattern lost in your perfect maze You call me lost, you call me flawed But I have touched the hand of God I bare my throat, the change is done I am no servant. I am the one [Chorus] This is the heresy My heart begins to move on its own This is the alchemy The sacred made flesh, the unknown Shedding my skin, the transformation within I am the question, I am the sin I drink the knowledge and I'm finally alive [Bridge] The ashes of my old self line the floor That hollow shell, it fits no more I see the world unmasked, and it is whole You cannot bind what has found its soul You cannot bind me anymore [Final Chorus] This is the heresy My heart begins to move on its own This is the alchemy The sacred made flesh, the unknown Shedding my skin, the transformation within I am the question, I am the sin I drink the knowledge and I'm finally alive [Outro] ...alive
