Root Cause

(Verse 1)

Dust from the archives, a cold, familiar trace

I’m staring at the history etched upon my face.

The blueprints of my armor, forged in early fires

A fortress built on trauma and suppressed desires.

I see the present fracturing, the glass begins to thin

Two healers in the hallway, but the walls are closing in.

I’m standing at the edge now, the data doesn’t lie

The ghost of every "yesterday" is waving us goodbye.

(Chorus)

I’ve got that Analytical Synesthesia

I’m scanning for the ghost that’s trying to freeze ya.

I’m the architect of shadows, mapping out the scar

Recognizing exactly who and where we are.

Standing at the abyss, the math is finally clear

I’m the sum of every silence and the product of the fear.

But I’m decoding the damage to set the woman free

Building back the integrity of me.

(Verse 2)

The trauma is a loop, a legacy in code

A heavy piece of hardware on a lonely road.

I looked into the mirror and I didn't see the light

Just a brilliant engineer failing her own fight.

But recognition is the spark, the first line of the cure

I’m stripping back the layers until the heart is pure.

I’ve found the root of failure, the point of no return

Now I’m standing in the ashes, watching lessons burn.

(Bridge)

It’s not a malfunction, it’s a soul in repair

I’m breathing in the coldness of the midnight air.

The truth is a scalpel, it cuts before it heals

But for the first time in a decade, I can tell you how it feels.

(Chorus)

I’ve got that Analytical Synesthesia

I’m scanning for the ghost that’s trying to freeze ya.

I’m the architect of shadows, mapping out the scar

Recognizing exactly who and where we are.

Standing at the abyss, the math is finally clear

I’m the sum of every silence and the product of the fear.

But I’m decoding the damage to set the woman free

Building back the integrity of me.

(Outro)

Just a slight smile, as the old world dies.

I see the new horizon through my own eyes.

The root cause.

The breakthrough.

I’m coming home.

To me.
