STUDIO

[Intro|Immediate Clear Solo Vocal]
A thought, a flame, a room of night.
What lives beyond this little light?

[Verse 1|Steady Piano|Clear Middle Register]
I cannot doubt that doubt is here,
A candle burning out of view.
But does the moon outlive my gaze?
What makes the world beyond me true?

[Verse 2]
An empty chair behind a door:
Does dust still settle when I leave?
Or does the room await my eyes
To give it walls I can believe?

[Verse 3]
I dreamed a town beneath the sea;
Its people swore that they were real.
What makes this waking world more true
Than all the things a dream can feel?

[Chorus|Clear Sustained Tone|Piano Stays Soft]
Are you a window or a mirror?
Do you go on when I leave?
If I have dreamed your life around you,
Did I invent the way you grieve?
If every sorrow starts in me,
Why can't I dream your suffering free?

[Verse 4]
You speak about your childhood home,
A garden I have never known.
Behind your eyes, is there a light
That burns as fiercely as my own?

[Verse 5]
Did I invent the empty cradle,
The winter hunger, all the pain?
And if I claim I made your joy,
Must I accept the blame again?

[Verse 6]
I tell the rain to stop; it falls.
What kind of maker cannot mend?
To know the world through my own mind
Does not mean I have made my friend.

[Chorus|Forward Vocal|Compact Phrasing]
Are you a window or a mirror?
Do you go on when I leave?
If I have dreamed your life around you,
Did I invent the way you grieve?
If every sorrow starts in me,
Why can't I dream your suffering free?

[Verse 7|Quieter Piano|Voice Remains Clear]
I search for who could dream it all;
I find no throne, just changing light.
My doubt can leave a doorway open;
It cannot prove there's none outside.

[Verse 8|Gentle Lift]
You sit beside me, holding tea.
I hear the tremble when you speak.
I need not think I made the cold
To lay a blanket on your knees.

[Final Chorus|Warm Clear Lead]
Are you a window or a mirror?
I cannot see behind your eyes.
But I can stay and hear your sorrow
Without declaring it is mine.
Beyond the edge of certainty,
There may be you, apart from me.

[Outro|Soft Clear Vocal|Final Piano Chord]
I close my eyes. You move your chair.
I cannot see you. Are you there?
