### [Verse 1]

I woke where the shoreline folded
Into angles I don't know
With silver dust inside my hands
And footprints in the undertow

The moon was hanging sideways
Or maybe I was bent
The trees were speaking quietly
In languages they never meant

### [Pre-Chorus]

Something moved behind the veil

Something watched me disappear

### [Chorus]

There was a shape above the water
Pulling shadows from the tide

I stood still while the horizon
Turned itself inside

And when the morning found me
I was standing where I'd been

But the space between my memories
Had something living in it

### [Verse 2]

The clocks all lost an evening
The mirrors lost my face

Every room feels slightly larger
Than the room I used to place

I dream of endless hallways
Made from breathing ivory

And doors that open inward
Into versions missing me

### [Pre-Chorus]

Something followed me back home

Something wearing borrowed skin

### [Chorus]

There was a shape above the water
Pulling shadows from the tide

I stood still while the horizon
Turned itself inside

And when the morning found me
I was standing where I'd been

But the space between my memories
Had something living in it

### 🎸 [Guitar Solo]

[Textural lead.
Volume swells.
Long delays.
Notes drift in and out of key.
The solo should feel like a signal struggling to stay clear.]

### [Bridge]

I found a map beneath my eyelids

Drawn in lines that never end

Every road folds back upon itself

Again

The ceiling opens when I sleep

The room becomes a sea

And something standing in the distance

Knows my name

Better than me

### [Breakdown]

(pulse-driven djent groove)

I lost

A night

I lost

A name

I lost

The place

Between

The same

And now the windows bend
When nobody is there

And now the silence hums
Like machinery in prayer

### [Final Chorus]

There was a shape above the water
Pulling shadows from the tide

I stood still while the horizon
Turned itself inside

And when the morning found me
I was standing where I'd been

But the space between my memories
Had something living in it

And every time I close my eyes

It opens them again
