A recorded reading of “Roots of Becoming”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
Something ancient stirs beneath my skin, a whisper buried in bone, where time has cracked like weathered clay and left me open to the sky. From my back, the branches rise— twisting upward, reaching blind, aching for a place I do not know. They do not ask permission; they bloom in silence, fed by embers of an unseen hunger. Once, I was only flesh, sealed and certain, but now I am something more, or something less— a vessel of unfinished growth, a husk in quiet rupture. The planets watch, unblinking, small gods of stillness, orbiting my sorrow. But I do not bow. I simply stand, letting the roots take their claim, letting the fire carve its path, becoming the thing I cannot name.
Instructional lyrics
[Intro: Soft, atmospheric—reverb-drenched guitar swells, distant chimes, breathy vocals.] (Something ancient stirs beneath my skin…) A whisper buried in bone, Where time has cracked like weathered clay, And left me open to the sky. [Verse 1: Gentle, hypnotic—melodic guitar arpeggios, steady drums building.] From my back, the branches rise, Twisting upward, reaching blind. Aching for a place I do not know— They do not ask permission. [Chorus: Expansive, soaring—layered harmonies, shimmering synths.] (Once, I was only flesh—sealed, certain…) But now I am something more, Or something less. A vessel of unfinished growth, A husk in quiet rupture. [Verse 2: Darker, deeper—bass swells, drums more urgent.] They bloom in silence, Fed by embers of an unseen hunger. The planets watch, unblinking, Small gods of stillness, orbiting my sorrow. [Bridge: Cinematic, intense—guitars swell, vocals raw and emotive.] But I do not bow. I simply stand. Letting the roots take their claim, Letting the fire carve its path. [Chorus: Climactic, euphoric—soaring vocals, shimmering soundscape.] (Once, I was only flesh—sealed, certain…) But now I am something more, Or something less. A vessel of unfinished growth, A husk in quiet rupture. [Outro: Fading, dreamlike—soft piano, echoes of vocals dissolving into space.] Becoming the thing I cannot name…
