[Verse 1] Night after night in a room smelling of must Stacked with old books and tales of dust Chariots of fire, saints in the sky Heroes on pyres that refused to die I read about prophets swallowed by light World trees climbed in the dead of night Every old story whispered the same “You can shed the world like a mortal name” [Pre-Chorus] I sold my sleep I let friends fade Turning my life Into a ritual flame [Chorus] I was learning how to leave the earth How to rise beyond the weight and hurt But then your hands found mine Right at the edge of the divine Now the stars are calling out my name While my heart sees only your face If eternity has room for two Would you ascend with me From this place? [Verse 2] Feet getting lighter against the floor Voices speaking through untranslated lore Static dancing underneath my skin Something vast saying “Let me in” Like Elijah in the whirlwind sky Like Heracles burning but alive Like the shamans who climbed through the veil Like Icarus I am afraid to fail Then I met you in the library glow Cross-legged there where the old myths grow You laughed at the madness in my eye Suddenly heaven didn’t feel—so high [Pre-Chorus] The hum grew loud The lights burned white Every step toward you Pulled against the light [Chorus] I was learning how to leave the earth How to rise beyond the weight and hurt But then your hands found mine Right at the edge of the divine Now the stars are calling out my name But my heart sees only your face If eternity has room for two Would you ascend with me From this place? [Bridge] The tower fell The wax wings burned Every myth says There’s no return The saints all lose What they once were No soul returns Entirely human So take my hand Before I drift into the dreaming sea I can't leave this place behind Not if I can't have you—with me [Final Chorus] I was halfway into something vast Half a ghost, half a man from the past And your smile cut through Everything I thought I knew Now the sky is opening over me Once it started it would not cease I don’t know what I’m meant to be But if love survives—infinity Will you still remember me? [Outro] A new star trembling in cosmic glee But your voice still calling out my name I still wait for you within eternity Somewhere beyond the mortal frame
