[Intro - Solo Shakuhachi, Long Meditative Breath Note, Then Drop-B Guitars Crash]

[Verse 1 - English Clean Male Vocal, Plaintive]
My head is twelve apartments
With strangers in each one
They argue through the walls
I cannot sleep I cannot sleep

[Verse 2 - Japanese Clean Female, Taking Over]
頭がバラバラになった時
考えるな 体に聞け
足の裏 床についてる
肺が空気を入れている
それが今の全部

[Pre-Chorus - Guitars Tighten, Shakuhachi Still Audible]
体は嘘をつかない
体は遅れない
(今ここ! 今ここ!)
The body is the timestamp

[Chorus - Dual Vocal Over Maximum Weight]
体は錨! Body as anchor!
(Drop down! Drop down!)
When the mind drifts out to sea
The body keeps the ship in place
(Ground zero! Ground zero!)
呼吸の数を数えろ
十まで行けたら 戻ってくる
戻ってくる 必ず

[Post-Chorus - Gang Shout + Taiko]
HAI! HAI! HAI!
(Don dondon!)

[Instrumental — traditional honkyoku phrasing]

[Verse 3 - English Male, Learning]
The old texts said it
Not metaphor not poetry
Stand put your feet on the earth
Breathe until the breath is slow
You are not your thoughts
You are the thing beneath

[Verse 4 - Japanese Female, Deepening]
禅もヨガもスーフィーも
みんな同じこと言ってる
「頭は道具 使いすぎるな」
「体に帰れ 何度でも」
それが唯一の薬

[Pre-Chorus - Building]
Institutions buried this
Replaced it with obedience
(They hid it! They hid it!)
But the body never forgot

[Chorus - More Intense, Shakuhachi Wailing Above Metal]
体は錨! Body as anchor!
(Drop down! Drop down!)
武道家が立つ時
風が吹いても動かない
(Rooted! Rooted!)
それは力じゃなくて つながり
地面と空と 自分と
一本の線

[Breakdown - Half-Time Djent, Shakuhachi Fights Through, Spoken Whisper]
Sit.
Feel your spine.
Feel the floor.
That's all.
That's the whole practice.
Sit.

[Bridge - Shakuhachi + Clean Guitar + Gentle Vocal Layer]
The monks knew
The samurai knew
The sufi dervishes knew
Before the head started its war
The body was already home

[Final Chorus - Key Up, Everything Together, Metal + Shakuhachi Unified]
体は錨! Body as anchor!
(Never leaves! Never leaves!)
When the world ends in my skull
The body stays whole stays whole
(Still here! Still here!)
錆びた脳みそよ
一度 体に戻ってこい
そこで会おう
そこで会おう

[Outro - Shakuhachi Alone, Breath Extending, Until It Naturally Ends]
