I’ve Seen You Before (Internal Monologue Version) Verse 1 I’ve walked the dark between the worlds, through borrowed dreams, through чуж voices— faces blur, names fall loose, they’re never worth remembering. But you— you don’t fade the same. A human girl with paint on her hands, looking at a world she doesn’t understand. I told myself it was nothing. Just noise. Just coincidence. Dreams lie… don’t they? ⸻ Pre-Chorus (quiet realization) They usually do. ⸻ Chorus (soft hook, inward) I’ve seen you before. Not here. Not awake. Somewhere between the breath and the break, where the dark goes still and the mind makes space. And now you’re standing in firelight, solid enough to stay. That’s a problem. That’s unlikely. That’s… interesting. ⸻ Verse 2 You don’t feel like prey to me. You don’t feel like power either. You feel like a question asked too early— like the world slipped and showed its hand. Something pulls when you’re near— not magic, not fate— more like recognition I don’t have a name for yet. And that bothers me. ⸻ Pre-Chorus (measured, looping) The mountain shifts. The court pretends. The game resets like it always does. And still— you’re here. ⸻ Chorus I’ve seen you before, behind my eyes, behind the walls I never lower. A human shouldn’t linger in a High Lord’s mind like this. So what are you doing here? And why does the dark already feel familiar around you? ⸻ Bridge (Thought Slows, Sharpens) I don’t touch you. I don’t claim you. I don’t bend the night your way. I watch. I wait. Because if you exist outside the rules, then someone broke them first. And I need to know who thought they could. ⸻ Final Chorus (quiet certainty) I’ve seen you before. That much is true. What you are— what you’ll become— that isn’t clear yet. But paths don’t cross me twice by accident. And dreams don’t follow strangers home. ⸻ Outro (almost a thought left unfinished) I let you go. For now. The night remembers. And I— I don’t forget patterns.
