[Stereo-panned detuned harp arpeggio in minor key, slowly drifting] [Verse 1] Wish I could remember who I was before the weight before the days started dissolving into something I can’t escape Woke up again like my life got cut mid-sentence like I’m living in echoes of a past I don’t recognize Torn pages in my memory ink bleeding through my mind time doesn’t move like it used to it just folds itself behind Where did the time go-oh-oh-oh? [Record scratch] where did the time go? [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been drifting in my head like a dream that’s already dead every thought repeats my name like it knows I’m not the same [Record scratch] re-re-re-repeat [Chorus – hypnotic, seductive vocal layering] But one dayyy… I’ll see it one dayyy… I’ll hear the M-m-m-music maybe todayyy… I come undone in it or maybe I fall deeper into it [Record scratch → beat enters softly] [Verse 2 – more twisted, inner voice begins speaking back] I feel numb… but numb feels like comfort like something warm pretending it doesn’t hurt I talk to the silence and it answers sometimes soft like a secret I shouldn’t call mine It tells me stay here where it’s quiet and low where the edges of reality start letting go I know it’s not real but it knows my name and it speaks like it loves me when I’m losing the pain Why does everything feel wrong? [Record scratch] (or am I the one who’s wrong?) [Pre-Chorus] I can’t escape this maze it’s shaped like my own face every mirror feels alive like it’s learning how I lie [Record scratch] [Chorus] But one dayyy… I’ll see it one dayyy… I’ll hear the music maybe todayyy… I break through it or maybe I become it [Bridge – seductive psychological split voice] Come closer… (I already am…) Don’t trust them… (I don’t anymore…) You’re safe here… (define safe…) Stay with me… (you never left…) Too many voices (or just mine split in two…) Somebody save me (you already chose to lose…) [Silence drops hard] [Final Chorus – emotional + haunting harmony] One dayyy… I’ll see it one dayyy… I’ll hear the music maybe todayyy… I wake up from it or maybe today… it wakes up in me [Outro – whispered, fading] Someday I’ll be okay… but I think I already am… just not as me… [Harp detunes → fades into breath + tape hiss]
