Prompt / Lyrics
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
