Lyrics
Verse 1
Once upon a time… there was a—
Something with a name I forgot
A this without a where to stand
A map with no X on the spot
And then… there was a maybe
Floating in a half-drawn sky
Here was always too far away
Above too high, below too shy
Pre-Chorus
We circled a question mark
Like a snake eating its tail in the dark
Chorus
Once upon a time… can only be once
But time keeps looping like it’s playing with us
The story don’t end, it just bends in the light
Space folds in half every day and every night
There was a this… but never a where
We were everywhere and nowhere there
If time don’t end, then neither do I
Upon a time… we never say goodbye
⸻
Verse 2
About a snake… about a clock
About a door that never locks
Time travel written in sand
Future slipping through my hand
What was never around
Still echoes loud somehow
A past that hasn’t happened yet
Is happening right now
Pre-Chorus
We chase the start, we miss the seam
Between the is and what has been
Chorus
Once upon a time… can only be once
But time keeps looping like it’s playing with us
The story don’t end, it just bends in the light
Space folds in half every day and every night
There was a this… but never a where
We were everywhere and nowhere there
If time don’t end, then neither do I
Upon a time… we never say goodbye
⸻
Bridge (spoken / rap section – your lane)
What if once is a circle?
What if never is near?
What if here was just fear
With a mask on it
What if above and below
Were just angles of view
And the snake wasn’t evil
It was time biting through
Space-time stitched in a line
But the thread never breaks
You can’t outrun forever
When forever’s awake
⸻
Final Chorus (lifted, layered vocals)
Once upon a time… can only be once
But we keep beginning where we begun
The story don’t end, it just shifts its frame
Different faces, same old flame
There was a this… but never a where
Still I feel you everywhere
If time don’t end, then neither do we
Upon a time… is eternity
