Echoes of my name

(Verse 1)

I drifted through corridors painted in gray,

Where strangers stitched labels across my face,

Each mirror a ghost with a borrowed tongue,

Whispering softly of what I’d become.

And the ceiling dissolved into rivers of light,

While the years fell backward into the night,

Till somewhere beneath all the noise and smoke,

A quieter truth finally spoke.

(Chorus)

And I heard my name

Through the howl of the storm,

Like a flame untouched

By the hands that deform.

No king, no crowd, no cathedral throne,

Could measure the weight

Of a soul fully known.

(Verse 2)

The city was breathing in electrical veins,

Dreaming in neon and mechanical rain,

I walked through the ruins I once called fear,

And found my reflection waiting there.

No longer divided by hunger or shame,

No longer a servant to somebody’s game,

The shadows I carried dissolved into blue,

And the silence opened through.

(Bridge)

Isn’t it strange

How the mind builds its walls?

Turning living hearts

Into portraits in halls.

But the stars never asked

If they deserved to burn,

They simply arrived

And expected no return.

(Final Chorus)

So I’ll carry my fire

Through the cold and unknown,

Like a signal returning

To the place it was born.

And the echo remains

Though the moment is gone—

I was never lost…

Only waiting beyond.
