[Verse] Have you ever wondered where the fading starlight goes Past the edge of what your waking vision knows Not as science, not a bedtime tale But a quiet weight that makes your focus pale [Verse] Like everything we see is just a skin Stretched thin above the deeper din Of something colder, vast and old A truth too wide for us to hold [Pre-Chorus] Maybe stars are not a place to find But ancient scars in spacetime’s mind Burn marks left where forces met Too large to love, too vast to fret [Chorus] When the light goes out, does it disappear Or fold inside where we cannot hear All its fire, its war, its glow Compressed to forms we’ll never know If meaning bends the way they do Expands in calm, collapses in view [Verse] The mind wants edges, start and end A line that breaks, a curve to bend But truth prefers a fading seam A looping tide, a drifting dream [Verse] And consciousness, that fragile spark May just be noise within the dark A flicker born when matter wakes Aware of all that time un-makes [Pre-Chorus] Once you see it, space feels tight Crowded with unwritten light With failed attempts and silent cries Of worlds that asked the wrong replies [Chorus] Does the universe grow tired too Repeating forms it once outgrew Birthing galaxies on repeat Like phrases said in slow retreat And in that cycle brief and small You stand aware, afraid of it all [Bridge] Clinging to purpose, legacy As if they anchor entropy But maybe they are stories told To warm the vacuum’s endless cold What if the weight of every breath Is equal in the eyes of death That love and rage and apathy All stain the same infinity [Breakdown] When you reach out for something more You trace your shadow on the floor Hoping the reaching proves the spark Before it fades back to the dark [Final Chorus] If nothing fades and nothing stays Just shifts in slow indifferent ways Then maybe meaning is the art Of drawing light around your heart A brief defiance in the night A spark that dares the silent light
