Blind to the Break

(Drop B tuning, chaotic percussion intro, distant distorted breathing)

They said they knew…

They said they saw…

Where were you when I started to fall?

⸻

I wore the mask like a second skin

Salute the flag while I rot within

Eyes straight forward, don’t let it slip

Meanwhile I’m loading the final clip

Nobody reads what I never wrote

Choking on silence, I cut my throat

Not for death—but to feel again

Now I’m alive with a ghost in my skin

⸻

You didn’t see it

You didn’t hear it

You didn’t feel me fade away

⸻

BLIND TO THE BREAK — YOU NEVER SAW ME!

DROWN IN THE WEIGHT — NOW IT HAUNTS ME!

SCARS ON MY NECK LIKE A WARNING SIGN

I SURVIVED BUT I’M LEFT BEHIND

CAN’T FIX THE WAR THAT I DON’T UNDERSTAND

FIGHTING A TRIGGER I CAN’T EVEN NAME

IF YOU KNEW—WHY DID YOU LET ME FALL?!

IF YOU KNEW—WHY’D YOU SAY NOTHING AT ALL?!

⸻

She said she saw it—after the fact

Spoke like a prophet, twisted and cracked

Bragging in shadows, feeding the lie

Where was that vision when I chose to die?

My brothers in arms, my blood, my wife—

All standing close but missing the knife

Buried so deep in the back of my head

Even I couldn’t tell I was already dead

⸻

What was the trigger?

WHAT WAS THE SIGN?!

If I can’t see it—

HOW DO I FIGHT?!

Say it again—

“I should’ve known…”

Then why the hell

Did I face it alone?!

⸻

I wake up breathing but I don’t feel saved

Just a man with a mark from the choice I made

Not a hero, not healed, just stuck in between

What I was—and what nobody’s ever seen

⸻

BLIND TO THE BREAK — YOU NEVER SAW ME!

DROWN IN THE WEIGHT — NOW IT HAUNTS ME!

LIVING WITH GUILT THAT I CAN’T ERASE

SURVIVED THE END BUT I LOST MY PLACE

CAN’T STOP A WAR THAT I CAN’T DEFINE

TRAPPED IN A LOOP INSIDE MY MIND

IF I FALL AGAIN—WHO WILL KNOW?!

OR WILL I DIE…

LIKE BEFORE?

⸻

You said you saw it…

…but you didn’t save me.
