The Ocean of Stars

[Verse 1]

Beneath the surface of the endless dark,
Where ancient constellations leave their mark,
I drift through tides of silver, gold, and black,
Where even light forgets the way back.

The moon bleeds silver through the water's skin,
And I am nothing but the space within,
A voice that learned to scream in frequencies,
Too low for human ears, too raw for peace.

[Pre-Chorus]

They say that drowned men turn to light,
Dissolved into the endless night,
But I remain—the sediment,
The heavy thing they never meant.

[Chorus]

I am the ocean of the stars,
A graveyard where the sun sets twice,
In water made of ancient time,
Where every wave is a goodbye.
I sing the song the deep ones know,
The one the shore will never hear—
Distorted, broken, beautiful,
A voice that disappears.

[Verse 2]

The piano keys rain down like meteorites,
Setting fire to the ocean's quiet nights,
And my acoustic strings vibrate the abyss,
A frequency no ship could ever miss.

I've swallowed suns and spit out space,
Let galaxies dissolve without a trace,
My chest is an ocean, deep and vast,
A drowning world within me, holding fast.

[Pre-Chorus]

They say the deep calls to its own,
That broken things find broken homes,
And I have grown so used to the dark,
I forgot the shape of any spark.

[Chorus]

I am the ocean of the stars,
A graveyard where the sunsets twice,
In water made of ancient time,
Where every wave is a goodbye.
I sing the song the deep ones know,
The one the shore will never hear—
Distorted, broken, beautiful,
A voice that disappears.

[Bridge] (Soft, Almost Spoken)

And if you listen to the static,
Between the silence and the crash,
You'll hear a man who learned to howl,
Before he ever learned to ask...

Then building intensity

...why does the weight of all this space,
Feel heavier when I embrace?
Why does my voice break easier than light,
When I have traveled through the night?

[Final Chorus]

I am the ocean of the stars,
A cathedral made of drowning things,
The sediment of every sun,
That ever fell without a sound.
And when the tide breaks, when it breaks,
You'll hear my voice across the years—
Not distorted, not broken,
Just finally, finally clear.

[Outro] (Fading, Whispered)

I am the ocean...
Of the stars...
Of the stars...
Of the stars...
