The Floor Is Not The Void

[Intro]
[Spoken Word]
We tore the throne
and named the quiet liberty.
We slew the King
and crowned the one who watched.
Who gave the creature
the right to judge the ruins?

[Verse 1]
I ripped the altar out of bone
I called the dark a kind of proof
I learned to doubt the Hand above
But never asked who held the scales
I said:
If He will not appear,
then He was never there.
What if the court was already blind?

[Pre-Chorus]
I can smash the idol in my chest
and never find the seat it hid
My reason is a wounded beast
I will not turn my fracture
into a statute of the world

[Chorus]
THE FLOOR IS NOT THE VOID
JUST BECAUSE THE VEIL WON'T PART
DOES NOT MEAN NOTHING STANDS
THE FLOOR IS NOT THE VOID
I AM NOT THE LAST WITNESS
I AM NOT THE FINAL JUDGE
I WILL NOT FORGE A GOD
TO HAUL MY WEIGHT ACROSS THE DARK
BUT I WILL NOT DECLARE HIM GONE
BECAUSE I CANNOT CUT THE VEIL
THE FLOOR IS NOT THE VOID

[Verse 2]
The ego learned a quieter tongue
It knelt and kept the key
It whispered I am nothing now
and signed the nothing with its name
A thinner throne is still a throne
You can erase the face of God
and leave man standing
as the measure of the ruin

[Bridge]
[Spoken Word]
Maybe the throne is vacant.
Maybe I am terrified it isn't.
Both roads still climb
the same old seat.
Mine.

[Breakdown]
I AM NOT THE MEASURE OF THE REAL
I AM NOT THE AUTHOR OF THE THRONE
MY BLINDNESS IS NOT A VERDICT
I DON'T NEED TO INVENT THE KING
I DON'T NEED TO DENY THE KING
THE THRONE WAS NEVER MINE

[Final Chorus]
THE FLOOR IS NOT THE VOID
JUST BECAUSE THE VEIL WON'T PART
DOES NOT MEAN NOTHING STANDS
LET THE EGO FALL
LET THE FALSE KING DIE
THE FLOOR IS NOT THE VOID
THE THRONE WAS NEVER MINE

[Outro]
[Whisper]
I found the edge
of the one who was looking.
And I stopped mistaking
my own night
for a universe.

[End]
