[Verse 1]
Cold stone under bare feet
Dripping echoes count my steps
Walls bloom into breathing light
Every color is a kept secret
See my hands from other years
Holding strangers
Letting go
Every choice a shining shard
Hanging quiet in the glow
[Chorus]
In this cave of glowing crystals
I walk through all my faces
Every lifetime
Every vision
Carved in tiny
Burning places
All the hurt and all the healing
Folded into fragile skin
These reflections are the doorway
And Eden waits within
[Verse 2]
Child I was
Eyes wide
Chasing fires I couldn’t name
There I am
Turning away
Too afraid to stay in the flame
Here I stand
Older now
Reaching out instead of run
Crystals catch the smallest change
How I stay
How I’ve begun
[Chorus]
In this cave of glowing crystals
I walk through all my faces
Every lifetime
Every vision
Carved in tiny
Burning places
All the hurt and all the healing
Folded into fragile skin
These reflections are the doorway
And Eden waits within
[Bridge]
I touch the glass of who I was
(it flickers, then forgives)
Lessons written into light
Don’t need the weight to live
I bow to every broken self
To every almost
Every when
And as the last shard lets me go
A softer world steps in
[Chorus]
In this cave of glowing crystals
I lay down all my traces
Every lifetime
Every lesson
Opens into wider spaces
All the hurt and all the healing
Bloom like gardens on my skin
I step through the final mirror
And Eden lets me in
