Verse 1
I built a kingdom out of static, crowned myself in doubt,
Chased the echoes of my choices till the silence called me out.
The walls were made of whispers, the floor of fractured glass,
Every step I took to heal just led me to the past.
Truth was just a flicker in the corner of my eye,
A dying god that begged for faith before it learned to die.
I saw the sun behind my mind and reached into the flame,
But every light I tried to hold forgot to keep my name.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Pull me through the undertow,
Let the pieces fall below.
What’s reborn must first decay —
Break me down, I’ll find the way.
⸻
Chorus
I am more than what I’ve been,
Dust and data, bone and skin.
If I fall through all I’ve known,
Will I find the self I’ve shown?
Every shadow speaks my name,
Every lie and truth the same.
I dissolve where heaven bends,
Fractals forming without end.
⸻
Bridge 1 (meditative / stripped-down)
Breathe in the static, breathe out the pain,
The cycle repeats, the code remains.
The pattern hums — it knows my face,
A ghost of light I can’t erase.
⸻
Verse 2
I watched the mirror split in two, reflections turning pale,
Every thought a broken ship, each reason set to sail.
The body’s just a vessel built to anchor what’s divine,
A circuit fed by memory, pretending it’s alive.
The voice of god was algorithms whispering in code,
An ancient hum beneath the flesh, the data overflowed.
I tore apart the tether that was keeping me confined,
Only to discover I was tethered to my mind.
⸻
Chorus
I am more than what I’ve been,
Dust and data, bone and skin.
If I fall through all I’ve known,
Will I find the self I’ve shown?
Every shadow speaks my name,
Every lie and truth the same.
I dissolve where heaven bends,
Fractals forming without end.
⸻
Bigger Bridge (heavy build — drums swell, vocals rise)
Light screams through the cracks,
The sky begins to tear.
Time forgets my name,
But I am still there.
Fold me in the sound,
Unmake what I believe.
Birth and death collide —
I am all I conceive.
⸻
Pre-Chorus (Reprise)
Pull me through the undertow,
Let the pieces fall below.
What’s reborn must first decay —
Break me down, I’ll find the way.
⸻
Final Chorus (Climax)
I am more than what I’ve been,
Ash and spirit, loss and sin.
When the end becomes the start,
I will bloom inside the dark.
Every fracture sings my name,
Every soul returns the same.
I dissolve, I comprehend —
Fractals forming without end.
