[intro - ambient, sparse, building slowly] [verse 1] when the mind runs out of questions that's the moment you were seeking not when answers fill the chest but when silence suddenly is speaking [pre-chorus] all the searching, all the hoping one more answer, one more key but the one who keeps on asking is the lock and is the sea [chorus] who am i who am i not a thought not a name who am i who am i just a fire without a flame [drop/breakdown] stop look back who asks [verse 2] fear arrives and mind starts racing looking for a fix, a cure never guessing that the patient is the sickness and the door [pre-chorus] all the knowledge, all the stories gathered like a burning crown but the one who wears it proudly is the one who burns it down [chorus] who am i who am i not a thought not a name who am i who am i just a fire without a flame [interlude - sparse, breathing space] [verse 3] body changes, roles keep shifting memories like falling rain something watches every moment something stills and something remains [build] can you catch the one who's catching can you see the one who sees awareness cannot be an object it just is and it just frees [chorus - fuller] who am i who am i not a thought not a name who am i who am i just a fire without a flame [solo section - expressive, emotional, wordless] [verse 4 - quieter] no fireworks, no grand explosion no possession, nothing gained just the searcher slowly fading into silence, into plain [bridge] to whom has this question risen to me, to me, the small reply and who am i, who is this me now let it rest and let it die [final chorus - stripped back] who am i who am i not a thought not a name who am i who am i just a fire without a flame [outro - fading, ambient] what remains is not a new self what remains has always been timeless peace without a border open sky without an end [fade to silence]
