Lyrics

I cut away the loudest voice
The one that screamed my name
For a moment there was silence
Like relief without a face
But in the quiet something shifted
In the space where certainty had been
Every answer leaves a wound
Every cure demands a cost
I swear I saw it dying
But I never saw it stop
Every time I sever you
You multiply
I bleed solutions into the ground
I built a language out of reasons
Just to justify the need
Said "this time it's different"
Like a prayer I didn't mean
I mapped the pattern like a scholar
I pinned the cycle to the wall
But knowing how the wheel is shaped
Did nothing when it turned at all
Every victory seems staged
Every loss is rearranged
I swear I heard you choking
But you never spoke my name
I named each head like an enemy
So I wouldn't say my own
I called it weakness, sickness, fate
Anything but home
But in the blood and muscle memory
In the rhythm of return
I see the shape I keep becoming
Every time I never learn
There's no monster in the dark
There's no hero left to send
Just a circle chasing reasons
With no origin or end
Every time I sever you
You multiply
I cut you down in daylight
You grow at night
I don't need strength, I don't need war
I need truth
You are the cycle
I mistake
For you
If I stop counting severed heads
If I lay the sword aside
Will what remains finally starve
Or will I see
That you were never meant to die?
