Forgotten Questions

[Verse 1]
I wrote a list in the margins
Of a book I gave away
Little stars around each worry
Now the ink has turned to gray
I feel a pull in the silence
Like a word stuck in my throat
Searching drawers inside my memory
For a line I never wrote
[Chorus]
I’m seeking answers
To questions I long forgot
Like a name on the tip of my tongue
Fading as I reach the thought
If I could turn back
To the place where they first began
Would I know them
Would I hold them
In my open hands
[Verse 2]
I chased sleep through the hallway
Past the hum of distant years
Old receipts and folded letters
Softened corners
Blurred-out fears
Every why has lost its edges
Every how slips through my grasp
But the echo still remembers
What my waking mind can’t ask
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Maybe they were small and tender
Just a hope for one more day
Maybe they were wild and endless
Turning every rule to clay
I don’t know the shapes I’m missing
Only feel where they should be
Like a constellation hidden
By a cloud I cannot see
[Chorus]

Airy ambient-cinematic bed with soft piano motifs, distant pads, and subtle pulses. Female vocals float high and breathy, intimate in the verse, widening with layered harmonies in the chorus. Reverb-drenched swells and a gentle riser into the bridge; sparse percussion and a warm subbed bass bloom for emotional lift without breaking the dreamy stillness., ambient
