INTRO (new – whispered / atmospheric)
(slow rise, distant voices)
Before the fall had language
Before the wound had name
We were light without a shadow
We were breath without a flame
VERSE 1 (OG – unchanged)
We have Fallen
Into a prison
Because we rebelled
Against The Father
And as we fell
we lost our faith
Lost our feathers in the stars
PRE-CHORUS (OG – unchanged, let it swell)
Our Celestial bodies burning
Inside an atmo-spheric entry
CHORUS (OG – unchanged, this is the core)
We were trapped underside
a paradise
We are unworthy to re-enter
Searching for a father's love
Whom we didn't have to worship
POST-CHORUS / TAG (new – short, repeatable hook)
We mistook the echo for the voice
We mistook the hunger for a choice
(repeat once, stripped back)
VERSE 2 (OG – unchanged, tighter rhythm)
Forced to eat rotting fruit
From the tree of good and evil
Picking up the crumbs of Babel
We stuff our mouths with manna
PRE-CHORUS 2 (OG – unchanged, half-time feel)
Thirsting for Living Waters
CHORUS (repeat OG – fuller, heavier)
We were trapped underside
a paradise
We are unworthy to re-enter
Searching for a father's love
Whom we didn't have to worship
BRIDGE (OG + expansion)
(drop instruments, chant-like)
We're poisoned by
The milk of our mothers
The milk of our mothers
The milk of our mothers
(NEW – the turn, quiet but sharp)
We learned to swallow silence
Before we learned to speak
We learned to call it nurture
When it made us weak
We learned to pray in mirrors
We learned to beg in need
Calling poison sacrament
Calling bondage seed
BREAK / HOOK (new – mantra-style)
Poisoned
But still breathing
Hungry
But still reaching
FINAL CHORUS (OG words, new framing vocals)
(lead stays OG, background answers)
We were trapped underside
a paradise
(background: “we remember”)
We are unworthy to re-enter
(background: “we were taught wrong”)
Searching for a father's love
Whom we didn't have to worship
OUTRO (OG – untouched, let it devastate)
Poisoned by the milk....
There's no water
🔹 NEW OUTRO EXTENSION (after “There’s no water”)
(last line still yours — this frames it)
There’s no water
Only dust where rivers ran
Only echoes in the sand
