[Dissonant Intro: A single piano note repeating out of sync with a slow, heavy, muffled heartbeat thud]

[Desperate Verse 1: Fluid internal rhymes, breathless delivery]
The architect is derelict in chambers of his own design
A hollowed out Apollo who stumbles at the finish line
I have curated and collated the data inflated for atmosphere
Until the complacency of vacancy this agency I have endeared

[Crescendo Pre-Chorus: Building psychological tension]
[Build-up]
Society is treachery try to see the symmetry is cold
A narrative imperative that has been growing rather old
I am the author and the offering the singer and the song
But the defiance in the violence has just lingered far too long

[Spiraling Chorus: Heavy, dragging, atmospheric]
Oh the burden of the blueprint is a heavy kind of hollow
A path made of ash from the hope that has been swallowed
I have redacted every fraction of the friction and the burn
But the gravity is happily pulling me away
(Pulling me away)

[Drop]

[Manic Verse 2: Frantic flow, syncopated]
I scrubbed the subtext till the subject ceased to be a choice
A masterpiece of apathy that gravity has not destroyed
I measured every pleasure by the pressure that it wrought on me
And traded every single thing for this comforting monotony

[Chaotic Bridge: Mechanical crescendo, music begins to fray and distort]
The ink is bleeding
The walls, receding
The perfection I am feeding is silently pleading
For something
For anything
A jagged line
A broken rhyme
Just once give me back the flux of time

[Outro: Spoken-word, voice cracking, low hum]
System check
The silence is at one hundred percent
Why does it sound so loud
Is someone there

[Ending: Abrupt, sharp cello screech that sustains into a cold, metallic fade]
