[Intro – dark, whispered / filtered] There’s something moving in the dark Wearing my face Breathing my breath [Verse 1 – restrained, tense] I feel it crawling under my skin Like a second heartbeat kicking in Every mirror shows a crack Every step I’m not coming back I hear it talking in my head Says “you’re not strong enough yet” Says “let me in, just let me try” Says “you can live, or you can survive” [Pre-Chorus – building pressure] I tried to hold the line I tried to keep my name But something else is wearing me And I’m starting to like the change [Chorus – HUGE, DARK, ANTHEMIC] I’m becoming something I can’t control Something buried in my bones Every fear is burning out Every mercy’s breaking down This is the moment I divide What I am from what’s inside If I lose myself tonight I’ll be stronger on the other side Call it damnation Call it liberation I call it HOLLOWFICATION [Verse 2 – heavier, more aggressive] My shadow moves before I do It smiles when I’m telling the truth It wants the wheel, it wants the reins It wants the glory, it wants the pain I feel my pulse turn into noise I hear a voice that’s not my voice It says “you’re weak, but I’m the cure” It says “together, we’re something more” [Pre-Chorus – bigger] I’m done pretending I’m whole I’m done pretending I’m clean If this is what it takes to win Then let it crawl inside of me [Chorus – bigger, heavier] I’m becoming something I can’t control Something buried in my bones Every fear is burning out Every mercy’s breaking down This is the moment I divide What I am from what’s inside If I lose myself tonight I’ll be stronger on the other side Call it damnation Call it liberation I call it HOLLOWFICATION [Bridge – breakdown, half-time, dark] [Everything drops heavy and slow] Say my name I won’t answer It’s not mine anymore Say my name It sounds different Than it did before (Whispered / shouted layers) Let it in Let it in Let it in [GUITAR SOLO – Dark, chaotic, violent, cinematic] (This is the “transformation” solo — wild but controlled chaos) [FINAL CHORUS – MAXIMUM POWER] I’m becoming something I can’t control Something carved into my bones Every weakness fades to black There’s no turning back from that This is the moment I divide What I was from what I hide If I lose myself tonight I’ll be stronger on the other side Call it damnation Call it liberation I call it HOLLOWFICATION [Outro – cold, final] If this is what I become… Then don’t try to save me.
