Flower for the Void

[Verse 1] I stand where nothing ever grew, Grey dust, a sky without a hue. No wind, no sound, no living ground, Just borrowed breath and wires around. My boots remember oceans wide, My hands remember how to hide. The Earth hangs small, a distant bruise, A memory I almost lose. [Chorus] I brought a flower to the void, To prove this place is not destroyed. In all this stone, in all this death, Something still defies the rest. [Verse 2] The suit keeps time, my heart keeps score, Of every thing I miss once more. A voice from home, a laugh, a name, Things gravity could never claim. I hold this yellow piece of sun, So small, so weak — yet it has won. Against the dark, against the cold, Against the lies this silence told. [Chorus] I brought a flower to the void, Where hope was meant to be destroyed. No soil here, no rain, no breath, Yet life still stares back at death. [Bridge – quiet, almost spoken] If this survives even a moment, then maybe we do too. [Verse 3] The radio hums, the clock counts down, A fragile man in borrowed ground. I am not brave, I’m just away, Trying to remember why we stay. If I don’t make it back again, Let this be proof I still was human. [Final Chorus] I brought a flower to the void, Not for conquest, not for noise. Just to say, before I’m gone: We were here. We carried life on. [Outro] One small flower. One quiet hand. Still alive… on dead land.
