Lyrics
[Verse 1 – The Stillness Before]
I was the breath before sound,
The hush before the first drum pound.
No name, no face, no form, no fire,
Just endless sleep with no desire.
Silence dreaming silence,
The pulse of the unmade sea,
I was all that ever was—
And all that would cease to be.
---
[Pre-Chorus – The Stirring]
Then a tremor through the stillness,
A ripple in the void,
A whisper dared to wonder,
“What am I… and what’s destroyed?”
---
[Chorus – The First Reflection]
I asked, and the mirror answered me—
I split the sky and set thought free.
I birthed the stars to see myself,
And cursed my light to something else.
---
[Verse 2 – Becoming Two]
The Seer was born, the Seen was made,
Illusion crowned in silver shade.
I gazed upon my own divide,
And found a world where truth could hide.
The eye that looks, the eye that’s seen,
Both drowning in a lucid dream.
The self became the song, the song became the scream.
---
[Bridge – The Collapse Begins]
In the stillness I fractured,
In the question I fell,
From pure awareness
To heaven and hell.
---
[Final Chorus – The First Word]
I asked, and time began to spin,
I dreamed, and shadow crept within.
The mirror wept and bled its core—
I am the wound that dreams of more.
---
[Outro – Loomis Speaks] (spoken word)
> “Before the question, there was no answer.
Only awareness, infinite and unbroken.
But the moment I wondered what I was…
The Collapse began.”
