[Intro](Instrumental — slow atmospheric build-up with echoing clean guitars and ambient synth textures) [Verse] I've tried to laugh But I cried instead How strange [Chorus] Why does it come to this? What nameless feeling brought me here? To these steps of delirium [Verse] I must be dreaming now As I drift Above all creation [Chorus] Why does it feel like this? What fleeting thought brought me to this? Is this my own self-deception? [Slow emotional guitar solo](Extended emotional guitar solo — expressive bends, atmospheric delay, slow emotional climax) [Bridge] A whispering cacophony flowed Into the fractures of my mind I thought I saw something Sparkling, on the edge [Verse] I forced a laugh And heard it break apart Why do I feel like this? [Final Chorus] How did it come to this? Did I invent all of this? My sweetest delirium… [Guitar Solo / Instrumental Collapse](Extended emotional guitar solo — expressive bends, atmospheric delay, slow emotional climax, dissolving into ambient textures) [Ambient Outro](ambient outro, fading guitar echoes, dissolving soundscape, haunting atmosphere, drifting synths, emotional guitar sustain, dreamlike ending, collapsing ambience, echoing whispers) A stranger’s face on the mirror lakes Drifts across the silvered surface Someone else keeps on breathing In the back of my mind [End]
