[Verse 1] [Atmospheric clean electric guitar, steady djent bass groove] What you see on the surface is not the truth What looks insatiable, is actually held hostage Like a tiger, taking down its prey Clamping down on the neck [Pre-Chorus] [Tension building, snare roll] The cycle starts Progress in the eye of the beholder [Chorus] [Explosive melodic metalcore chorus, soaring wide wall-of-sound guitars] Isolation makes you fall to the bottom What you see as a world Is just a door to all things forgotten It's just a time forgotten swirl [Verse 2] [Djent syncopated rhythm returns, spoken-sung cadence shifting into aggressive growls] Success on one path, two will follow, The prize is just an illusion, Fracturing perception, often of the divine Choice from the front, chained in the back. Forgotten quickly, thoughts fade [Bridge / Fry Vocals Section] [Switch to aggressive low-end fry screams, frantic tempo] [Fry Screams] The illusion of control! [Fry Screams] The illusion of choice! [Fry Screams] The illusion of peace! [Fry Screams] The illusion of— [Spoken/Adlib] (nothing...)! [Guitar Breakdown / Heavy Drop] [Instrumental Breakdown: Down-tuned chugging riff, heavy double-bass stomp, dissonant guitar bends, crushing groove] [Outro] [Building back up from a whisper to a heavy dual-vocal climax] What is it you want? What is it you expect? We are gaining momentum While leaving regret [Final heavy crash and abrupt cut]
