(Verse 1) (Clean, ambient guitar with heavy delay; low, rhythmic spoken/whispered delivery) Clock on the wall ticking backwards now Footsteps on the ceiling, I don't know how A grey morning, thick as concrete Watching my shadow walk down the street I try to scream but it won't leave me Choking on words I never speak. (Pre-Chorus) (Downtuned bass swells, building kick drum rhythm) Pinch my skin, drag me back down I’m losing my grip, I’m leaving the ground Anchor me fast before this cable snaps Falling through the floor, falling through the gaps! (Chorus) (Full band explosion: heavy 7-string distorted guitars, explosive, soaring vocals) WELCOME TO UNREALITY! The edges are blurring, the colors run thin! I can’t tell where the world ends and I begin! DRIFTING OFF THE MAP, FLOATING OUT OF FRAME! Listening to the static, i forgot my name! IS IT REAL? IS IT FAKE? AM I LOST IN THE WIRE? DROWNING IN THE FLOOD WHILE REACHING FOR THE FIRE! (Verse 2) (Downtuned heavy bass groove, sparse staccato guitar chugs) Mirror shows a ghost that I used to be Faded picture staring right back at me I reach for the glass, but my hand goes through Everything is quiet, everything is cold and blue Spinning warped in a loop Looking for the door... THERE'S NO WAY BACK! (Chorus) (Full band, maximum energy) WELCOME TO UNREALITY! The edges are blurring, the colors run thin! I can’t tell where the world ends and I begin! DRIFTING OFF THE MAP, FLOATING OUT OF FRAME! Listening to the static, i forgot my name! IS IT REAL? IS IT FAKE? AM I LOST IN THE WIRE? DROWNING IN THE FLOOD WHILE I'M REACHING FOR THE FIRE! (Bridge) (Heavy, chugging breakdown rhythm; building from harsh whispering to an explosive scream) (Whisper) Pull me back... (Spoken) Pull me back down... (Scream)PULL ME BACK DOWN! (Half-tempo heavy groove) Break the glass! Cut the feed! Tell me what's real! Tell me what I need! The dark is eating up the light of the day— HOLD ME TO THE EARTH BEFORE I DRIFT AWAY! (Outro) (Slowing heavy riff, guitar feedback drifting over deep bass hits) Lost in unreality... Fade to grey... (Final screamed line with heavy reverb effect)* BEFORE I DRIFT AWAY! (Sudden silence on the final beat)
