**[Verse 1 – Rap, shimmering guitars]**
Static in my skull again, razor thoughts at 3 a.m.
World’s too loud, too sharp, too thin
Every nerve’s a live wire, frayed within
I reach inside the velvet case
Twist the grinder, sacred space
Green confetti falls like grace
One deep breath to leave the race
**[Pre-chorus]**
Flame kisses paper, orange glow
Heartbeat slows, blood runs low
**[Chorus – huge layered vocals + gang shouts]**
When I pack a bowl
The chaos folds
Soul gets quiet, the war gets old
Smoke curls up like cathedral gold
Every demon’s story gets told
When I pack a bowl
Yeah when I pack a bowl
The whole damn world loses control
**[Verse 2 – Rap with some grit]**
Bills and ghosts and broken trust
Memories that turn to rust
But right here in this cloud of musk
I remember who I was
Cedar smoke and pine terps rise
Ancient calm behind my eyes
No crusades, no alibis
Just me and fireflies
**[Pre-chorus 2]**
Cherry pops, the ember sings
For three slow minutes I’ve got wings
**[Chorus]**
When I pack a bowl
The chaos folds
Soul gets quiet, the war gets old
Smoke curls up like cathedral gold
Every demon’s story gets told
When I pack a bowl
Yeah when I pack a bowl
The whole damn world loses control
**[Breakdown – crushing djent chugs + screamed vocals]**
Breathe — in — hold — release
Let the serpent coil in peace
Breathe — in — hold — release
All the knives inside decrease
(quiet) …decrease
**[Final chorus – massive, triumphant, half clean / half screamed]**
When I pack a bowl
Heaven overloads
Angels trade their harps for bowls
When I pack a bowl
Yeah when I pack a bowl
The screaming finally loses its hold
**[Outro – soft clean vocals over fading riff]**
One more exhale…
and the soul
is whole
*(fade into distant wind chimes and soft reverb guitar)*
