Prompt / 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
