**[Pre-Intro]**

*(Sound of a slowing, distorted music box. A single, whispered line.)*

"...it's all inside the house of glass..."

**[Intro: Ambient]**

(Reversed guitars, whispers, siren melody)

**[Verse 1]**

The pattern in the wallpaper breathes.

Whispers in binary through plaster teeth.

I count the pulses in the static haze…

One hundred seventeen different days.

The mirror shows a room behind my own.

A man who wears my skin but stands alone.

**[Pre-Chorus]**

The synaesthesia! Colour is a SOUND!

A screaming violet painting all the ground!

My teeth are radios! They broadcast P A I N!

**[Mini-Hook 1]**

*(Cleans, harmonized in a haunting major key)*

"A maze of mirrors... waiting..."

**[Chorus]**

WHEN THEY CRY, IT’S INSIDE THE MIND!

A MAZE OF MIRRORS, BLIND LEADING BLIND!

WHEN THEY CRY, THE SHAPES UNFOLD!

THE BODY’S TEMPLE, ROTTEN AND OLD!

**[Instrumental Break]**

**[Verse 2]**

The webbing in the corners holds the thought

Of every frightened creature ever caught.

I feel their legs skitter along my spine…

Their memories are merging into mine.

The "they" is me. The "cry" is my own breath…

**[Bridge]**

(Ambient collapse: water, drones, slowed screams)

*[[Vocoded Speech]]:* "The horror is the recognition of the architecture."

**[Guitar Solo]**

**[Mini-Hook 2 - Degraded]**

*(The same hook, but played on a distorted, glitching music box sample)*

"A maze... of... mirr...ors..."

**[Chorus 2 - Degraded]**

(Melody on detuned music box, then sludge destruction)

WHEN I CRY, THE WORLD DISSOLVES!

A PUZZLE BOX WHERE NOTHING FITS OR SOLVES!

**[Pre-Outro]**

*[[Music strips to a tense, rhythmic pulse. Layered, panning whispers and desperate screams build]]*.

"THE SHAPES UNFOLD!"

"THE WORLD DISSOLVES!"

*(A single, loud heartbeat sound cuts through.)*

**[Outro]**
