Cloak of Illusions

[Verse 1]
Fingers trace the hidden line
Ink that burns, but leaves no sign
Every word a loaded knife
Carved in code across my life
[Pre-Chorus]
You say my name like a spell you forgot
I feel the flame and the frost in the spot
Between the truth and the tales we designed
Where you rewrote every fault in my mind
[Chorus]
Cloak of illusions
Cover this heart of mine
In runic sign, in runic sign
Turn every fracture
To patterns you can’t define
Cloak of illusions
Covert this heart of mine
[Verse 2]
You wear logic like a mask
I wear silence like a cast
Shards of trust on bedroom floors
Maps of us on broken doors
[Pre-Chorus]
You twist the past till the corners all blur
Tell me I dreamed every wound, every word
I see the script bleeding under your eyes
Lines you rehearsed just to weaponize
[Chorus]
Cloak of illusions
Cover this heart of mine
In runic sign, in runic sign
Turn every fracture
To patterns you can’t define
Cloak of illusions
Covert this heart of mine
[Bridge]
[Choirs swell, synths widen]
Male: I’m reading the symbols you hid in the seams
Female: (I’m not your mirror, I’m not your screen)
Male: Your shadow religion is built on my screams
Both: We’re burning the pages, we’re breaking the dream
[Chorus]
Cloak of illusions
Fall from this heart of mine
Erase the sign, erase the sign
Every deception
Unravels along the spine
Cloak of illusions
I take this heart back, mine

Verses stay restrained, half-whispered then grit builds into a thick, distorted pre-chorus. Chorus widens with stacked harmonies, distant choirs, and a growling bass drop on the downbeat. Occasional glitchy edits on the second verse; final chorus adds octave-doubled screams and a lingering reverb tail., metal, electronic
