Intro - atmospheric synths building
Distant processed vocals: "ah... ah..."
Verse 1
Cold walls around me
Eyes that never see
Something beneath my skin
Where do I begin?
Vocalization: "Ohhhhh"
Pre-chorus
Breaking down, piece by piece
Fading out, no release
I'm just a ghost of what I was before
Vocalization: "Ah-ah-ah-ahhh"
Chorus
These phantom chains still hold me tight
But I'm slipping through the night
These phantom chains can't bind me now
I'll find my way out somehow
Extended vocalization: "Ohhhhhhhhhh"
Verse 2
Words cut like knives
Carving out my insides
Twisted into someone new
Is this really true?
Vocalization: "Ohhhhh"
Pre-chorus
Breaking down, piece by piece
Fading out, no release
I'm just a ghost of what I was before
Vocalization: "Ah-ah-ah-ahhh"
Chorus
These phantom chains still hold me tight
But I'm slipping through the night
These phantom chains can't bind me now
I'll find my way out somehow
Extended vocalization: "Ohhhhhhhhhh"
Bridge
I feel the cracks forming
Light breaking through
Something is changing
I'm becoming new
(Becoming new)
(Becoming new)
Build-up - intensifying synths
Whispered vocals: "Let me go"
Final Chorus
These phantom chains can't hold me tight
As I'm rising through the night
These phantom chains have lost their power
I've found my way out, hour by hour
Extended vocalization: "Ahhhhhhhhhhh"
Outro
Fading vocals: "I'm free..."
