Veins of the Void
[harsh male vocals with mid-to-low growl tone, layered with distant whispered phrases and occasional airy spoken lines. Verses delivered with aggressive rasp, pre-chorus and chorus feature layered growl/whisper blends. Slight reverb and delay added for atmosphere. Emotionally intense delivery, rooted in early melodic death metal style. No clean singing.]

Lyrics
Verse 1
There was a name once cracked beneath the skin,
Left in the silence I forged with clenched hands.
Each breath, a shuttered echo
Where fractured intent used to bloom.
Whispers coil around brittle thought,
Truth too dull to carve through shame.
Memory cheats
Or maybe I do.
Chorus
Now
Which will rupture first, the spine or the lie?
Veins of the void, bleeding backwards.
Now
Which voice is mine, the one that screams or obeys?
Veins of the void, writhing inside.
Verse 2
In ash-script I wrote a vow,
But flames forget the meaning.
Every twitch betrays restraint
Hollow reflex, hollow frame.
Hands not mine reach inward still,
Twisting calm into relapse.
I begged the mirror for exile.
It smiled.
Chorus
Now
Which will rupture first, the spine or the lie?
Veins of the void, bleeding backwards.
Now
Which voice is mine, the one that screams or obeys?
Veins of the void, writhing inside.
Bridge
Disgrace blooms quietly
In places scars pretend to end.
I mistook the shadow for safety.
It kept me fed.
Final Chorus
Now
Which will tear me down, the fire or the frame?
Veins of the void, hollow and wide.
Now
Who stands in the wake, the fracture or the flame?
Veins of the void
...still mine.
