Between nothing and almost

(Verse 1)

There’s an ancient silence asleep in the room,

An echo of footsteps I never made.

The hours keep falling through the same window,

And I can’t recall the last time I stayed.

(Pre-Chorus)

Everything is heavy, everything is distant,

I’m just a face in the wandering mist.

(Chorus)

And I walk between nothing and almost,

Searching for a sign that might come close

Enough to reach me before I fade.

But the world keeps turning without promise,

And every dream that tries to calm me

Dies before it’s even made.

(Verse 2)

I collect the shadows the daylight refuses,

Fragments of me I can’t seem to save.

There’s so much universe deep in the question,

Yet nowhere I find a place to stay.

(Pre-Chorus)

Everything is aching, everything is fleeting,

I’m just a silence no one is hearing.

(Chorus)

And I walk between nothing and almost,

Searching for a sign that might come close

Enough to reach me before I fade.

But the world keeps turning without promise,

And every dream that tries to calm me

Dies before it’s even made.

(Bridge)

Maybe meaning is only invention,

A phantom dancing in the half-light.

Maybe existing is only a pause

Before the dark that leads us right.

(Final Chorus)

Still I move between nothing and almost,

Even if silence never holds me close,

Even if emptiness wants to win.

If the world keeps turning without promise,

I still carry a restless longing

For something new to begin.
