Into The Vortex - Kyle Montgomery

[Verse 1]
I remember pine trees swaying in the rain
Cold grey skies and the silence in my veins
Father showed me how to disappear
Mother wrote code no one else could hear

Static dreams behind my eyes at night
Patterns moving underneath the light
Every face repeating every line
Like echoes trapped inside design

[Pre-Chorus]
And I feel it turning
Deep beneath the skin
A fracture in the signal
Pulling me within

[Chorus]
Into the vortex
Into the flame
Everything dissolves
Nothing stays the same
I saw the system
I broke the frame
Now the world is whispering my name

Into the vortex
Into the light
Falling through the shadows of another life
No fear
No noise
No disguise
I awaken as the old world dies

[Verse 2]
Through the scope the distance disappeared
Only breath and instinct living here
Then the fire swallowed all I knew
And something in the void came through

Not a god and not a machine
Something waiting in between
Every moment rendered into form
Every soul inside the storm

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the signal’s clearer
Every frequency aligned
I can hear the hidden architecture
Running through my mind

[Chorus]
Into the vortex
Into the flame
Everything dissolves
Nothing stays the same
I saw the system
I broke the frame
Now the world is whispering my name

Into the vortex
Into the light
Falling through the shadows of another life
No fear
No noise
No disguise
I awaken as the old world dies

[Bridge]
Wake me from the sequence
Pull me from the dream
Nothing here is random
Nothing’s what it seems

I was dead for a moment
Now I finally see
The simulation opened
And it opened me

[Final Chorus]
Into the vortex
Beyond the veil
Every broken memory begins to realign
I crossed the silence
I survived the fall
Now I hear the universe inside us all

Into the vortex
Into the light
The code is collapsing in the dead of night
No chains
No walls
No disguise
Only consciousness survives
