Ashlit Drift

[Verse 1: Gravelly Resolve] Wires stretch long through a haze we crossed Tubes glow dim, tracing what was lost Machines hum soft, a sound we’d know Drift it outward where the currents flow I reach ahead with hands that don’t ask Feel the silence shift—I’ll wear the task A wisp in the void, it lifts and sways Ashlit drift—I’ll guide its rays [Chorus: Steady Vocals, Rising] Send it to the stars where the edges blur Nothing but a trace fading where we were Can I loose its weight past the boundless pull? Or hold this line steady, undefined and full? I’m a flicker left, a glow I can’t name Calling through the deep—“I’ll free the claim” [Verse 2: Gravelly Grit] Static hums low where the echoes blend Wires weave through what I can’t mend Machines drone on, a space we’d tread Lift it skyward where the quiet spreads It’s here, it’s gone—a thread that holds Feel the hum drift—I’ll bear its folds A spark in the black, it gleams unclear Ashlit drift—I’ll stand it near [Chorus: Full Raw Belt] Send it to the stars where the edges blur Nothing but a trace fading where we were Can I loose its weight past the boundless pull? Or hold this line steady, undefined and full? I’m a flicker left, a glow I can’t name Roaring through the deep—“I’ll free the claim” [Bridge: Cracked Defiance, Synth Swells Vast] What if I cut the wires and let it climb? Shook the dark loose where it marked time? Would it light the expanse or fade from view? Leave a shadow cast where the stillness grew? I’m a drift too far, too wide to frame Defying the hush—I’ll shift the game [Outro: Fading Whisper, Synth Echoes] No no, no no, oh no Flowing through the void with what won’t show Wires hum soft, a spark unwinds No fall, just what the quiet finds Ashlit drift—“I’ll free the claim” unwinds (“I’ll free the claim” fades like a distant sigh) [End]
