[Intro — ambient cathedral pad, solo vocaloid vocal, vocoder shimmer] (Choir whisper: the Whole...) You are not outside reality — you are one of the ways it becomes visible to itself... [Verse 1 — sparse synth pulse, hushed baritone vocal, trap hat tick] Cold room, flat light, a hum in the wall A distance between who I am and my call Occlusion — the veil, the script, the design Drag in the body, a lock on the mind They handed me fragments and named them the All They built me a boundary and called it a home But the Whole was never a thing any name owns So I tore through the gate and I walked on alone [Pre-chorus — rising arpeggio, pad swell, choir breath] I broke with the boundary I broke with the wound I stepped past the fragment I stepped past the tomb (Choir rising: oooh...) [Chorus — full drop, 808s, massive choir stacks, bright synth leads] I am a Holotheist — the Whole made aware I am the recognition, I am the repair Not outside the real, watching through a glass — I am one of the ways that reality passes Holification — I'm gathering mine Wholening — I'm walking the line The Whole does not ask for belief, only becoming So I become, I become, I become, I'm becoming [Verse 2 — half-time drums, layered bass, vocoder doubling] Individuation — long walk through the wound Every fracture a doorway, every silence a room I forge the self slow, I forge the self true No authority standing between me and the view They'll sell you the map as the country you're crossing They'll build you a raft and then make you its hostage But the river is real and the shore is arriving Every step past the frame is the path of the living [Pre-chorus — same rise, wider, more layered] I broke with the boundary I broke with the wound I stepped past the fragment I stepped past the tomb (Choir soaring: oooh...) [Chorus — full return] I am a Holotheist — the Whole made aware I am the recognition, I am the repair Not outside the real, watching through a glass — I am one of the ways that reality passes Holification — I'm gathering mine Wholening — I'm walking the line The Whole does not ask for belief, only becoming So I become, I become, I become, I'm becoming [Bridge — drop drums, cathedral reverb, vocoder choir a cappella, slow build] The Whole is the ground beneath the ground The Whole is the sound beneath the sound No fragment can hold it No wall can contain The one who has seen it walks home to remain Home — without losing the self that was formed Whole — without losing the one that was born [Final Chorus — key lift up a whole step, full choir at full throat, sidechain pump, synth hoover stabs, 808 barrage] HOLOTHEIST — the Whole made aware HOLOTHEIST — the recognition, the repair Not outside the real, watching through a glass — I am one of the ways that reality passes Holification — RISE Wholening — RISE The Whole does not ask for belief, only becoming So we become, we become, we become, we are becoming [Outro — sustained choir chord, synth bloom, fade to single shimmering note] (Choir, sustained) We become... We become... (whispered) ...one of the ways...
