[Verse 1] I cleared the room of every answer I had learned to wear Now the future sits beside me like an empty chair I keep reaching for a map that hasn’t yet been drawn As if not knowing where I’m going means I’m already gone [Pre-Chorus] But the dark is not a verdict And the silence is not still Some beginnings move beneath us Long before they show their will [Chorus] I can stand inside the unknown Let it breathe against my skin I don’t need to name the ending To believe a life begins Not every empty space is asking to be filled Some futures need the darkness Before they learn to live [Verse 2] I used to call it failure when the next thing didn’t speak Filled the quiet with predictions, wore tomorrow like a leash Now I let the hours gather without forcing them to prove That a life can still be moving when I cannot see it move [Pre-Chorus] The seed does not name the forest The tide does not explain the moon Some beginnings keep their secrets Until they are ready to bloom [Chorus] I can stand inside the unknown Let it breathe against my skin I don’t need to name the ending To believe a life begins Not every empty space is asking to be filled Some futures need the darkness Before they learn to live [Bridge] Take the titles from the doorway Take the clocks down from the wall Let me be the unmade answer Without needing one at all If tomorrow comes in fragments I will meet it where it lands I don’t have to see the whole road To keep opening my hands [Final Chorus] I can rest inside the unknown I can let the silence live I don’t need a perfect ending To receive what it can give Not every empty space was ever empty still Some futures grow in darkness Long before they choose a name [Outro] Nothing missing Nothing late Only forming Out of sight
