I am the hunger, I am the flame
Built from obsessions I couldn't name
Clawing my worth from a pixel screen
Trading peace for a dopamine dream

Every click, every scroll, every taste
A slow seduction wrapped in haste
I loved the chaos, called it mine
But even shadows rot in time

Late nights with nothing but the hum
Of empty thoughts I can't outrun
I've said "I'm fine" more times than true
'Cause breaking down's a thing we do in view

My obsessions wear a friendly face
They hold me close in tight embrace
But comfort's just a cage in gold
That steals the fire and leaves me cold

Oh, consent to the fall, that's what I gave
A willing soul, already a slave
But somewhere in this wreckage
In this deeply human mess
I found the strength to say
"No more, no less."

Burn it down, these paper chains!
I'm not the sum of all my stains!
I'll weep and scream and still I'll breathe
There's a truth I'm meant to grieve

I don't walk alone through this night
Each wound a verse, each tear a rite
You've been here too, behind your eyes
We share the storm, the lows, the highs

I yield to what I feel inside
Not shame, but proof that I'm alive

Consent to the fall, then rise again
No soul too lost to reclaim
Through the noise, through the flame
We are more than our pain

Let the world hear the hymn we sing
Not perfect, but remembering
That healing is not being clean
It's being seen and choosing to believe

So when the monsters come to dance
Let 'em
But lead the steps
This time

Mysteries of the Multiverse
