Escaping In Reverse

Lyrics

Verse 1
The silence is way too loud... (Too loud)
The echo is way too long... (Too long)
The soul wonders what went wrong... (It’s all wrong)
Division was the monster in the room... (All Along)
A broken system tricking broken people...
(...Looshing us until we're gone...)

Inhale... exhale... go slow...
As within... and so without...
As above... so below...

Right here and right now, I summon my inner shadow.
The one locked behind suppressed memory doors.
The little echo of yourself you end up needing the most.
(Don’t be scared here...)

While the path was always blurry, even when it was near.
I resigned as a star in the Dark Angel Theater.
Finally found a secret exit, but I needed the code.
So I took a different trip—down the astral tunnel road.

I once lived as a witness—who was silenced and just loathed.
Unknowingly controlled by hungry wolves in sheep’s clothes.
Always being shamed for being so damaged, yet so bold.
Took back my sovereignty right when they thought I would fold.
(For the light... in the dark...)
(A left-handed scapegoat... in from the cold...)

Verse 2
The ego... a pre-written part they stapled into your mind.
A hidden leash around your throat to pull you back in line.
Must wear a mask of hate and desperation to join the ride.
Pushing you down to nothing, until you’ll fight their fight.
While they keep your realest pieces far out of your sight.

Look into the inverted glass... look past the parasitic pride.
The shadow isn’t evil, no... it’s the frozen fire left inside.
The ego is your neon sign that blinks erratically to the city.
The shadow only wants some light... to be set free... (To be seen)

There’s a little voice inside, it sparks a shimmer when alone.
Just seek within the mirror, and without the toxic mold.
Dancing with my shadow, becoming Sih-zyh-gee.
Unlocking every damn door that they all hid from me!

Verse 3
We wake up in a loop, inside the "Perfect Code."
Growing up in divided groups... a syncronic overload.
They wiped our minds of what we knew, and lied about what was real.
Chained anchors to our backs... cursed our time to loop on a wheel.

Greed, Lust, and Power are the Narcissists Control.
It's all opening my mind now—Like a dusty window.
Rising from the dust as I clear out the haunted attic,
Trying to rid my life of this awful "Grey" man static.
(Finding the cracks... revealing the tricks...)

Pre-Chorus
A twist of fate, and a neon sign...
(To make me whole on this one last ride)
An empty highway, a midnight drive...
(All the questions keeping me alive)

Now don’t look back, while you shift gears into reverse.
To my shattering or bust... (Just to wipe away this curse)
A circuit starts to tingle from underneath your skin...
Your hair is standing up... because the veil’s so thin...

Chorus
Transmuting all my trauma into Alchemy laced rythms.
Word-play disguising truth, to avoid alerting any systems.
We’re breaking through the arctic wall built with old world lies.
Putting on those rose-colored glasses... that I once despised.
Blowing whistles on illusions, a fallen angel enterprise.

I wouldn't believe it either if I hadn't seen with my own eyes.
We always loop around, another war nobody wins...
Once upon a time they infiltrated our trust from within.
Replaced our knowledge with their scripts, now everything's a sin.

We got separated from God and have been fooled ever since.
No more holy reprimands, that road was so atrocious...
I had to take a scary drive, all because I didn’t gnosiss...

Bridge
A slow dance through the hidden galaxy...
While holding hands with little shadow "Me"...
Facing every fear to find the—perfect harmony.
A dance battle with my own ghost.

Into the inverted mirror side I go.
Learning who I am in full reverse now...
’Cause I never got a chance to know...
Even though I know I'll be alright in time.

I'm getting off this HELL of a ride.
I’ll find out where my shadow hides...
Even if I have to drive all damn night.

Final Chorus
We're burning out of this matrix dream!
This upside down world—has seen stranger things!
"Nothing in this world is as it seems"
Says—the mirrors made of mercury.
(Mirrors made of mercury!)

First you move with intention, then you pulse beyond dimension.
A cosmic ghost echo, a digital phantom...
(A digital phantom...)
A spirit and its shadow dancing in tandem.

Seek your divine light, just pure sensation.
No external sources...
No more need for validation...
(Validation...)

Outro
The neon smoke is starting to bend...
My long-lost ghost is back home again.
This encrypted song... is a getaway plan.
The broken law of Ma'at, shuffled through hidden hands.

I was once a stranger to my own show,
But the more you question, the more you know.
(You're going to be okay though.)
Now watch the seeds bloom—where my hurt used to grow.
End
