[Intro](Instrumental — slow atmospheric build-up with echoing clean guitars and ambient synth textures)

[Verse]
I've tried to laugh
But I cried instead
How strange

[Chorus]
Why does it come to this?
What nameless feeling brought me here?
To these steps of delirium

[Verse]
I must be dreaming now
As I drift
Above all creation

[Chorus]
Why does it feel like this?
What fleeting thought brought me to this?
Is this my own self-deception?

[Slow emotional guitar solo](Extended emotional guitar solo — expressive bends, atmospheric delay, slow emotional climax)

[Bridge]
A whispering cacophony flowed
Into the fractures of my mind
I thought I saw something
Sparkling, on the edge

[Verse]
I forced a laugh
And heard it break apart
Why do I feel like this?

[Final Chorus]
How did it come to this?
Did I invent all of this?
My sweetest delirium…

[Guitar Solo / Instrumental Collapse](Extended emotional guitar solo — expressive bends, atmospheric delay, slow emotional climax, dissolving into ambient textures)

[Ambient Outro](ambient outro, fading guitar echoes, dissolving soundscape, haunting atmosphere, drifting synths, emotional guitar sustain, dreamlike ending, collapsing ambience, echoing whispers)

A stranger’s face on the mirror lakes
Drifts across the silvered surface
Someone else keeps on breathing
In the back of my mind
[End]
