[Intro – Ambient/clean vocal]
Whisper through the static veins
Shadows bloom where light decays
I feel the silence break my spine
As I become what’s left behind
⸻
[Verse 1 – Screamed + syncopated riffs]
You carved your name in marrow
Buried deep beneath my skin
I watched the world implode in slow mo
Begging for the end to begin
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Clean vocals]
Fractured light in shattered frames
You erase, but I remain
Burned in memory, lost in flame
Say my name, say my name
⸻
[Chorus – Melodic clean vocal]
I see the glass serpent crawl through the ash
Choking on lies I can’t outlast
Your echo haunts every breath I take
I’m still awake… I’m still awake
⸻
[Breakdown – Screamed + polyrhythm]
Take back your crown of thorns
Bite the sun — be reborn
This guilt was never mine to mourn
I spit your name in the eye of the storm
⸻
[Bridge – Clean to Scream]
Bleeding out in monochrome
I’m a ghost inside my home
YOU BUILT A TEMPLE OUT OF GRAVES
AND CALLED IT LOVE
⸻
[Final Chorus – Dual vocals]
I see the glass serpent crawl through the ash
(Sink into the void, don’t ask)
Choking on lies I can’t outlast
(I am the fracture, I am the mask)
Your echo haunts every breath I take
I’m still awake… I’m still awake
⸻
[Outro – Ambient instrumental fade-out]
(Lo-fi ambient guitar loop, heartbeat-like drums fade out slowly)
