[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
Here we go
(Auto…)
[Verse 1]
Pages turning in a borrowed name
Every memory reshaped by flame
What I was and what I became
Don’t always answer to the same
Footnotes whisper what I left out
Silent chapters built on doubt
Ink bleeds where the truth should be
In the margins of identity
[Pre-Chorus]
Every line is a version of me
Edited by what I choose to see
Somewhere between fact and confession
Lies the shape of my progression
[Chorus]
An autobiography
(Stranger than fiction)
Personal history
(Full of friction)
Written in contradiction
(Marked by flawed precision)
Truth in slow collision
(Stranger than fiction)
[Verse 2]
I recall what I want to recall
Build my story around the fall
Heroes carved from broken stone
Villains made of flesh and bone
Time rewrites what I believed
What I gave and what I received
Even silence tells a tale
When the details start to fail
[Pre-Chorus]
Every truth has a shadow line
Running parallel through time
And what I swear I know for sure
Changes shape behind the door
[Chorus]
An autobiography
(Stranger than fiction)
Personal history
(Full of friction)
Edited in repetition
(Rewritten by recognition)
I am the flawed narration
(Stranger than fiction)
[Bridge – Spoken/Whispered, Sparse Piano]
If I am the author…
why do I forget the plot?
And if this is my story…
why does it feel like it’s not?
[Final Chorus – Full Instrumentation, Rising Intensity]
An autobiography
(Stranger than fiction)
Personal history
(Full of friction)
Every page a contradiction
(Every truth a new condition)
I exist in my description
(Stranger than fiction)
[Outro – Instrumental Fade: Soft Piano, Tape Hiss, Distant Vocal Echo]
Who I was…
(Just because)
who I am…
(where I’m goin’)
somewhere in between the two…
(Loving it with you)
