[Verse 1 - Soft, whispered vocals over reverbed clean guitar] The screen is a window to a room I've never known, A million silent voices, yet I stand here all alone. They sell the perfect shadow, a smile that never fades, Another brick in the wall of digital parades. [Pre-Chorus 1 - Bass line enters, drums gently brush] The silence between headlines, a void I can't ignore, What is this weight I carry? What am I fighting for? [Chorus - Gentle chorus, Mellotron-like pads] And the wheels keep turning, on the track of no return, A lesson in the shadows, a fragile fire to burn. [Verse 2 - Tempo increases, quiet distorted guitar joins in] The gears of the machine don't wait for weary men to sleep, They promise golden futures, the secrets that they keep. We chase the synthetic sunlight, through corridors of doubt, A deafening ambition, that no one talks about. [Bridge - Intensifies, rhythm becomes more complex] The noise is getting louder, it cracks the fragile glass, Is this the truth we're hiding, or just the time that passed? [Instrumental Section - Focus on a melodic, mournful guitar solo,followed by keyboard and rhythm dialogue] [Spoken Word - Distorted, distant voice effect] "The gravity of holding on is heavier than letting go. The echo of the question 'Why?' is fading in the snow. Look at the spaces in between the things you thought were real. There is no winning, only finding how you truly feel." [Chorus - Returns to slow tempo, more expansive, synths swell] And the wheels keep turning, on the track of no return, A lesson in the shadows, a fragile fire to burn. But the fire is mine now, in the space between the fear, Acceptance is the silence when the damage becomes clear. [Outro - Long, quiet instrumental passage]
