[Intro – sparse, distant, whispered] …they never left… [Verse 1 – low, contained, almost flat] Years of unspent voltage stacked behind the eyes Every swallowed thought kept its own pulse Silence shorted out Old versions push up through the same throat One still locked on the night it tore One still carrying the line he never let out One treating the damage like a game One already finished, watching the rest arrive late No space left to hold them What he buried is moving anyway He kept the outside still The current burned its own way out [Chorus – heavier, tighter, more physical] He’s splitting He’s splitting Held-down screams gone live Stored weight firing all at once Ripping the chest with no filter He’s splitting He’s splitting No quiet left to drop into Seal gone, voltage loose Can’t put it back… can’t put it back [Verse 2 – breaking, more unstable] The numbness wasn’t armor It was delayed impact A low-signal room he hid in Until the body started failing in real time Now the observer is slipping One piece still working the eyes Another hanging outside the skin Both watching the hands miss every switch No single self left to run it Just versions stacked in the same nerves All pulling at once In the same second [Chorus – heavier, tighter, more physical] He’s splitting He’s splitting Held-down screams gone live Stored weight firing all at once Ripping the chest with no filter He’s splitting He’s splitting No quiet left to drop into Seal gone, voltage loose Can’t put it back… can’t put it back [Bridge – stripped, spoken, more space] The signal broke One frequency turned into open channels Too many of them here All talking through the same mouth He isn’t remembering He’s in the room with them Older versions standing in the same moment No order left Just noise happening at once Containment is over Everything he kept pressed down Is moving through the body And after it breaks There’s a lag He’s still standing there But he’s late to himself [Final Chorus – biggest, layered, more distorted] He’s splitting He’s splitting Held-down screams gone live Stored weight firing all at once Ripping the chest with no filter He’s splitting He’s splitting No quiet left to drop into Seal gone, voltage loose Can’t put it back… Can’t put it back… Can’t put it back [Outro – abrupt, whispered then cut] …occupant offset… …playback continues without him…
