Lyrics
Long Instrumental Intro
Intro – whispered
Trace the circle…
Break the line…
Hear the pulse beneath the spine…
Verse 1
A silent tremor in the marrow wakes,
Patterns bending, slipping through the cracks.
Your shadow learns the shape your fear creates,
A mirrored truth you never wanted back.
Fractured visions
turning inwards,
folding edges
into one.
The chrysalis remembers every
wound you tried to outrun.
Pre-Chorus
And the gears begin aligning,
Though you swear they’re coming loose.
In the static of your breathing
Is the self you still refuse.
Chorus
So I spiral…
inward / outward —
all directions at the same time.
Through the fracture…
deeper, deeper —
’till the breaking makes a sign.
I dissolve into the pattern,
Where the pulse becomes design.
I am nothing,
I am everything
inside the crooked line.
Instrumental
Verse 2
The lattice bends beneath the weight you bear,
Old ghosts trace symbols in the dust.
You shape a doorway out of thinning air
But entering it means learning to trust.
Coiled intentions
shift like serpents,
shedding skins
you thought were you.
Let the echo in your ribcage
teach the moment what is true.
Pre-Chorus
And the gears begin aligning,
Though you swear they’re coming loose.
In the static of your breathing
Is the self you still refuse.
Chorus
So I spiral…
inward / outward —
all directions at the same time.
Through the fracture…
deeper, deeper —
’till the breaking makes a sign.
I dissolve into the pattern,
Where the pulse becomes design.
I am nothing,
I am everything
inside the crooked line.
Instrumental
Crazy Guitar Solo
Heavy Drum Solo
Bridge – spoken over odd-meter rhythm
Unwind the tether.
Unname the center.
Let the silence
measure you.
Where the heartbeat
stutters sideways,
There the self
comes into view.
Chorus
So I spiral…
inward / outward —
all directions at the same time.
Through the fracture…
deeper, deeper —
’till the breaking makes a sign.
I dissolve into the pattern,
Where the pulse becomes design.
I am nothing,
I am everything
inside the crooked line.
Final Chorus
Still I spiral…
inward / outward —
I’m the fracture and the frame.
Through the breaking…
deeper, deeper —
I return without a name.
Fly apart into the meaning,
Gather whole in shifting time.
I am nothing,
I am everything
inside the crooked line.
