Tear the digital down

Verse 1

Skin of static, hum of doubt

Wires in my marrow flicker in and out

Teeth grind prayers into powdered bone

Signal lost in the undertone

Pulse in seven, breathe in threes

Kneel to the circuitry under my knees

Mirror shows a hollow hive

Something ancient trying to come alive

Pre-Chorus

Peel me open

Find the gears

Rust and nectar

Salt and fearChorus

Crack this shell

Let the locust sing

Carve a crown from everything

I swallowed whole but couldn’t bring

To the light

Tear the veil

Let the fracture show

Beauty born in undertow

I am not what I outgrow

Verse 2

Tongue like a blade in a velvet mouth

Speaking north while I’m bleeding south

Halo hanging from a thread

Choking on the things unsaid

Gravity in my ribcage bends

Feeding on the means to ends

I fed the beast that fed on me

Now it’s begging to be free

Pre-Chorus

Break the pattern

Bite the hand

Spiral upward

Unmanned

Chorus

Crack this shell

Let the locust sing

Carve a crown from everything

I buried deep in sufferingTear the veil

Let the fracture show

Cathedrals built from overthrow

I am not what I outgrow

Bridge (quiet, spoken or whispered)

Count the scars like rosary beads

Bless the doubt that plants the seeds

If I dissolve into the flame

Will I return without a name?

Build Section

Seven steps and shed the skin

Nine regrets I’m burning in

Spiral in

Spiral out

Cut the rot

Become devout

Final Chorus (explosive)

Crack this shell

Let the locust sing

Forge divinity from the sting

Every wound a sacred thing

Tear the veil

Let the fracture show

I am the storm I used to know

I am the fire below

I am the darkness that grows I am the light I am the shadow
