Lease on the Void
[Intro]
Low-end hum in a rented skull
Lights flicker where the hope used to pulse
Stamped papers in a bloodstream stain
Signed in ash with a borrowed name
Every breath like a monthly fee
Paid in regret and broken teeth
The walls get closer, but I don’t move
Just learn the shape of the empty room
[Verse 1]
I signed the line when I was young and blind
Thought I was buying time, but I sold my mind
Now every choice is a clause I add
To a contract carved in the things I had
I fed the void like it was mine to feed
It grew its teeth in the spaces I bleed
And every “yes” that I said too late
Was another lock on a rusted gate
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t read the fine print in my veins
It just says loss, it just says pain
The ink is dry but it still runs deep
Like a debt I can never keep
[Chorus]
I’m on a lease on the void
Renewed with every thing I destroyed
Every bad decision, every cracked refrain
Extends the contract in my name
I’m not free, I’m just employed
By the silence I can’t avoid
And I pay in pieces I can’t restore
Till there’s nothing of me anymore
[Verse 2]
I barter memory for a moment’s ease
Sell tomorrow for today’s disease
The landlord smiles in my hollow chest
Says “you’ve been late, but we’ll handle the rest”
I tried to leave but the door won’t sign
It’s chained to the version I left behind
And every step just rewrites the terms
Where the self I was slowly burns
[Pre-Chorus]
The ledger screams in a language I knew
But I forgot what it’s pointing to
Now I’m just numbers in decay
Paying myself away
[Chorus]
I’m on a lease on the void
Renewed with every thing I destroyed
Every bad decision, every cracked refrain
Extends the contract in my name
I’m not free, I’m just employed
By the silence I can’t avoid
And I pay in pieces I can’t restore
Till there’s nothing of me anymore
[Bridge – breakdown]
Drop-tuned judgment, crawling slow
Every mistake I ever owned
Stacks like bricks in a sinking frame
Building a prison out of my name
Void speaks low: “You can’t resign
You signed forever in borrowed time”
And the pen I used is still in my hand
But it writes in dust I don’t understand
[Final Chorus]
I’m on a lease on the void
Renewed with every thing I destroyed
Every scar, every fractured tone
Keeps me chained but never alone
I’m not free, I’m overjoyed
To be swallowed, to be deployed
By the nothing I can’t ignore
Till I’m nothing and nothing more
[Outro]
The contract ends where I begin—
But there’s no me left to step back in.
