Saved by the String

Coffin taps, counting steps, the floorboards moan

String snaps, life collapse, marrow turns to stone

Bell rings, ghost swings, it's a pendulum throne

Scratches from a hand that ain't mine, I'm alone

Hollow eyes, they widen, spiral caught in the mist

Breathless panic sinking, clenched in a skeletal fist

Saved by the string, dangling, fraying

Saved by the string, but the devil's swaying

Tightrope to the grave, no delaying

Saved by the string—no praying

Radioactive fog drips through the marrow cracks

Synth acid, fractured, crawling down my back

Skeleton hand percussion, dragging on tracks

Wide-eyed VHS bleed, memory attacks

Grave tremors quake beneath me, bassline grim

Holographic vocals chant, fractured hymn

Time corrupted, slipping—can't find the rim

Saved by the string, but the chances slim

Saved by the string, dangling, fraying

Saved by the string, but the devil's swaying

Tightrope to the grave, no delaying

Saved by the string—no praying
