𝗧 | 01 🇬🇧 • The Island Under Glass

Download complete... Interface online... Welcome... Specimen... I wake with sand beneath my skin Like a sickness settling in The ocean beats against the stone Always singing the same old tone And the light inside my arm Pulses with a foreign heart I don't even know my name. But this place... Feels like it already knows mine. I wake beneath a blazing sky The burning sun cuts through my eyes My throat is dry, my legs are white with salt A world so strange it doesn't feel my fault Peaceful giants wander by the shore While distant roars demand a little more Every breath of wind brings something new Awakening instincts I never knew But then a thunder shakes the sky And every drop of blood runs cold Even flowers here can kill... The daylight whispers But twilight lies When darkness falls Everything changes... Run... Breathe... Delay your final breath... Build... Survive... Stand even when there's nothing left... Tame... Breed... You won't make it on your own... On this island under glass... The world will claim your bones... Hours pass Something changes deep inside My hands remember things Before my mind can realize A stone becomes a blade A tree becomes a home Like someone else's memories Are somehow now my own I slowly build a fragile shelter Four weak walls against the night Warmth returns into my shaking body For the first time... I finally breathe alright. Sometimes when I close my eyes Beside the firelight I see fragments... Cities... Machines... Then nothing... Only waves... Only wind... Run... Breathe... Delay your final breath... Build... Survive... Stand even when there's nothing left... Tame... Breed... You won't make it on your own... On this island under glass... The world will claim your bones... A lonely cabin by the stream Rain crashing through the night I thought I understood this place Until the forest lost its voice No insects... No birds... Life itself... Was running away... Two massive claws before my door Towering through the storm Rusted sickles born from hell Waiting to be unleashed Wood is breaking Walls collapse Those claws tear through without a pause My chest explodes The torch goes dark I run into the jungle Driven by fear Branches cut across my face Water rising to my knees Every breath keeps perfect time With my racing heartbeat Behind me Razor fingers tear the darkness open Like a storm Feeding on my terror Living specimen... Error... Err.r.r... Axi...? Explore... Hunt... Survival is the only law... Raise... Fight... Become much stronger than before... Evolve... Rise... Like a world built by design... On this island under glass... The world will force your evolution...
