Ooh… Somewhere in the dark, A sound begins to shine. Ooh… Searching for a soul Across the curve of time. We are not these bodies, Not the dust beneath the skin; We are lanterns from the galaxies, Trying to get home again. I have worn a thousand faces, I have answered to strange names; I have crossed through dying starlight With a heartbeat full of flame. And somewhere past the silence, Where the oldest shadows breathe, I heard your soul call softly, Like it still remembered me. [Pre-Chorus — floor tom enters like a distant heartbeat] And the void began to tremble Like a drum beneath the sea; Every star became a doorway, Every wound became a key. {emotional lift} Truth bends time When your soul remembers mine, Through the hollow of forever, Through the dark between the lights. I was only sound in the abyss, Turning circles, searching blind, Till your love became the gravity That brought my world to life. The truth is love— And love bends time. [Post-Chorus — layered echo chamber] Ooh… your gravity found me. Ooh… your gravity found me. Ooh… from beyond the light, You pulled me back to life. [Verse 2 —] Love is not a feeling; It is older than the sun. It is written in the fabric Where all broken things are one. It moves beneath the oceans, It sleeps inside the stone; It waits between two strangers Till the soul says, “I am home.” I was wandering the abyss Like a prayer with no reply; Then your voice became a river Running backward through the sky. [Pre-Chorus 2 — synth builds] And the dark began to open Like a flower made of flame; Every lifetime I had buried Rose when you spoke my name. [Chorus 2 — warmer, wider, more urgent] Truth bends time When your soul remembers mine; Every distance falls away, Every lifetime realigns. I was only sound in the abyss, Turning circles, searching blind, Till your love became the gravity That brought my world to life. The truth is love— And love bends time. [Bridge — everything drops to synth cello and one exposed voice] Maybe heaven is a memory; Maybe death is just a door; Maybe every lonely lifetime Was leading me to yours. Maybe bodies are the vessels; Maybe names are passing rain; Maybe love is the dimension Where the lost are found again. And if one soul can recognize Another through the night, Then the universe is listening, And creation answers light. [build - layered voices enter one at a time; heartbeat toms intensify] Call me from the far side. Call me through the veil. Call me where the stars die, Where the silent echoes sail. Call me from the first world. Call me from the last. Call me till the future Reaches backward for the past. [Higher harmony ] If you knew me before language, If you loved me before light, Then the truth was always waiting Just beyond the reach of time. [one full breath of silence] [Final Chorus — Truth bends time When your soul remembers mine, Through the lives we might have lived, Through the dark between the lights. I was only sound in the abyss, Turning circles, searching blind, Till your love became the gravity That brought my world to life. Truth bends time When the lost are recognized, When the soul remembers home In another pair of eyes. We are not these bodies; We are stars in borrowed skin, And your love became the doorway That brought me home again. [Lead and choir — final controlled cathartic release] The truth is love— And love bends time. Truth bends time… Your gravity found mine. [Outro —} You did not find me in this life; You remembered me from before. Ooh… Somewhere in the dark, A sound returns to light. Ooh… The truth is love… And love bends time. [Final echo, almost beyond hearing] Truth bends time. [Fade into quiet reverberating silence]
