[Intro — slow, dark riff, building up] Silence… No, not silence — It’s the hum of emptiness. This is what’s left when everything has rotted away. [Verse 1 — gallop rhythm, hard-hitting] Time has come — it’s all gone now! People are dead — what the hell did they throw away?! Every step — like a strike on broken glass, Every breath — like the last one in this deadlock, this cage! Mask on my face — eyes turned to zero. I’ve become a ghost — no one knows my code. They don’t see me, don’t notice me, They walk right through me — I’m a shadow, I’m falling apart! [Pre-chorus — speed up, blast-beat feel] Don’t look for me — I’m erased! Don’t call for me — I’m dead! I’m a void inside this flesh! I’m emptiness set free! [Chorus — massive, sing-shout, heavy E-flat] THE MASK THAT HIDES MY FACE — IT WON’T TELL YOU WHO I AM! I STAY IN THE SHADOWS — I DON’T CHASE THE LIGHT! I STAY IN THE SHADOWS — AND THERE I’LL DIE! Headphones in — TURN THE VOLUME UP! To drown this world out — TO NOT HEAR IT! This world is rot! This world is zero! This world is a grave — and I’m still alive inside! [Verse 2 — drop tuning, slow, heavy groove] The city’s not a city — it’s a concrete cemetery. Every stone — a tombstone for someone’s scream. They all ran — none made it to the end. They all screamed — none got their words out. I put on the mask — and became the one who doesn’t exist. I erased my name — I don’t need a name anymore. Light? Light is for those who still believe they can see. I went blind long ago from what I’ve seen. [Breakdown — ultra-slow, crushing, one chord per beat] Everything. Is. Gone. People. Are. Dead. What. Did. They. Throw. Away. [Bridge — whisper, then explosion] (whisper) The mask has fused to my skin… Headphones have become part of my skull… I’m not human anymore… I’m a frequency… I’m interference… (explosion, double-kick) I’M INTERFERENCE IN THIS ROTTEN SYSTEM! I’M THE ERROR THAT CAN’T BE FIXED! I’M A SHADOW THAT ATE ITS OWN SOURCE! [Chorus — final, max intensity, backing vocals] THE MASK THAT HIDES MY FACE — IT WON’T TELL YOU WHO I AM! I STAY IN THE SHADOWS — I DON’T CHASE THE LIGHT! I STAY IN THE SHADOWS — AND THERE I’LL DIE! Headphones in — TURN THE VOLUME UP! To drown this world out — TO NOT HEAR IT! This world is rot! This world is zero! This world is a grave — AND I’M STILL ALIVE INSIDE! [Outro — riff fading, only whisper remains] Everything’s gone… I didn’t vanish. I’m just… Not with you anymore. And I won’t come back.
