Rot Back to the Seed

[Style: Dark Industrial Rock, Gritty Synths, Distorted Bass, Alternative Hip-Hop, Raw Vocals]

[Verse 1]
Unanswered questions hanging in the hall
Counting every shadow painted on the wall
Spent years chasing phantom reckonings
Trying to drown out what the quiet brings
Did you ever turn around and look behind?
Or did you bury every detail in your mind?
[Pre-Chorus]
Looking for a place to throw the blame
Hiding from the source, pretending it’s a game
Cover up the root so the branches look clean
Living off the ghost of a person never seen
[Chorus]
How do you trace the rot back to the seed
When you're feeding off the things you never need?
You can cut the line, you can change the name
Make sure you don't know where the poison came
'Cause it's hard to face the mirror at the turn
When you're holding up the match and watching it burn
Yeah, it's hard to make a home inside the dark
When you know you were the one who lit the spark
[Verse 2]
I used to ask if there was somewhere left to go
A hidden dynamic that I didn't want to know
Keeping distance from the center of the fault
Sealing up the entry in an empty vault
If you never track the origin of the noise
You can pretend you didn't break your own toys
[Chorus]
How do you trace the rot back to the seed
When you're feeding off the things you never need?
You can cut the line, you can change the name
Make sure you don't know where the poison came
'Cause it's hard to face the mirror at the turn
When you're holding up the match and watching it burn
Yeah, it's hard to make a home inside the dark
When you know you were the one who lit the spark
[Bridge]
Did you follow up? Did you get the word?
Or was it just a rumor that you thought you heard?
You run from the source so you don't have to choose
Between the things you keep and the soul you lose
When the reckoning arrives at your front door
You can't pretend you're innocent anymore
[Guitar Solo / Synth Breakdown]
[Chorus]
How do you trace the rot back to the seed
When you're feeding off the things you never need?
You can cut the line, you can change the name
Make sure you don't know where the poison came
'Cause it's hard to face the mirror at the turn
When you're holding up the match and watching it burn
Yeah, it's hard to make a home inside the dark
When you know you were the one who lit the spark
[Outro]
Make sure you don't know...
Make sure you look away...
When you know the debt stays unpaid.
(Fade to silence)
