(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.
