[Intro – Ambient soundscape: reversed whispers, glassy guitar echoes, faint breathing rhythm] This isn’t sleep… it’s something older. This isn’t a dream… it’s a door. ⸻ [Verse 1 – Soft, hypnotic vocals over an eerie bass groove] Drifted past the mind’s thin thread Where logic fails and symbols bled Fell through mirrors made of breath To kiss the mouth of waking death A voice inside, but not my own Spoke in tones of flesh and stone “Step through,” it said, “become the tide— You’ve worn your cage on the inside.” ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – Rhythm picks up, dissonance rises] What if the dream is what we are? What if the waking’s just a scar? ⸻ [Chorus – Layered vocals, emotional crescendo] VEILWALKER, CROSS THE LINE! DISSOLVE THE SHAPE, ERASE THE TIME! LOSE THE WORDS THAT BUILT THE WALL— BECOME THE VOICE THAT SPEAKS TO ALL! [Verse 2 – ritualistic rhythm beneath] I saw my face collapse in sand Each grain a thought I couldn’t stand Built myself a throne of doubt And called it truth from the inside out Then a shape with no form stared back Wrapped in silence, cloaked in black It smiled with eyes that bled my past And whispered, “You were never that.” ⸻ [Bridge – Rhythmic break, swirling guitars and distorted whispers] You’re not the dreamer… you’re the dream. Not the river… but the stream. You are the noise behind the scream. You are the ghost that splits the beam. ⸻ [Breakdown – Chaotic, multi-layered time signatures, screamed vocals] SHED THE VEIL! SHATTER THE SKIN! REVEAL WHAT SLEEPS ALIVE WITHIN! ALL YOU ARE IS DUST IN THOUGHT— UNTIL THE DREAMER WAKES… YOU’RE NOT! [Breakdown – Chaotic, multi-layered time signatures, screamed vocals] SHED THE VEIL! SHATTER THE SKIN! REVEAL WHAT SLEEPS ALIVE WITHIN! ALL YOU ARE IS DUST IN THOUGHT— UNTIL THE DREAMER WAKES… YOU’RE NOT! ⸻ [Final Chorus – Soaring and heavy, emotional climax] VEILWALKER, NOW YOU SEE! YOU WERE NEVER TRULY “ME” EVERY FORM A PASSING FRAME— EVERY LIFE JUST ONE MORE NAME. ⸻ [Outro – Gentle fade, sound like waves pulling away, distant heartbeat fades into silence] I didn’t wake up… I just remembered I was dreaming. [Outro – Gentle fade, sound like waves pulling away, distant heartbeat fades into silence]
