Catalyst Lyrics by Arankai

A Portrait of Red

2025

[Verse 1]
Take a look inside
You'll find dark signs inscribed on my chest
Could you be the one
Decoding them one by one?
Unlock my meaning
Give me something to believe in, uh, uh

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm desecrating in subconscious
Time inside my head is somehow so exhausting

[Chorus]
I need a new kind of drug, I need a new kind of high
Show me how to be alive
I need a cure for the itch, not a disposable fix
Something better than this, a catalyst
Losing my religion over things I can't control
Disassociate I don't know myself anymore
I need a cure for the itch, not a disposable fix
Something better than this, a catalyst

[Verse 2]
Feeding all I have into the machine
It's taking everything to keep
My sanity, my fragility
Is showing as my pieces start to bleed

[Pre-Chorus]
Watching bodies through the electronic tempered glass
Temporary fiction because nothing ever lasts
Desecrating in subconscious
The time I spend inside my head is always somehow so exhausting

[Chorus]
I need a new kind of drug, I need a new kind of high
Show me how to be alive
I need a cure for the itch, not a disposable fix
Something better than this, a catalyst
Losing my religion over things I can't control
Disassociate I don't know myself anymore
I need a cure for the itch, not a disposable fix
Something better than this, a catalyst

[Outro]
I need a new kind of drug
Nothing ever feels enough, oh-oh
I never feel it, I never feel it
I need a new kind of high
More than just getting by, oh-oh
I need a cure for the itch, not a disposable fix
Something better than this
