As It Slips Through

🌙 [Female Vocal – Verse 1] I held a flower in the morning light Softest bloom, so pure, so bright By dusk, its petals kissed the ground And not a single sound I wept not for its fading grace But for how I tried to make it stay Now I see: it came to show How beauty learns to let things go ⸻ 🔥 [Male Spoken – Verse 1] Change don’t knock, it walks right in. Doesn’t ask, doesn’t grin. Rips the calendar from the wall, Leaves footprints through your memory hall. Everything you love is dying. That’s not cruel—it’s clarifying. The tighter you grip, the quicker it slips, Like sand through desperate fingertips. ⸻ 🌬️ [Female Vocal – Chorus] So breathe it in, don’t hold too long The note, the kiss, the final song What leaves returns in different hue You cannot keep it—only move through As it slips through… You too will change. ⸻ 🌊 [Male Spoken – Verse 2] Mountains crumble, rivers twist, Even names fall off the list. What you call “me” is a dance of dust And dreams and skin that learns to trust. Time don’t care if you ain’t ready. It moves steady. Silent. Heavy. But in its hands, there’s something wise— To love the fall, not just the rise. ⸻ 🔁 [Female Vocal – Verse 2] The moon it waxes, then it wanes We rise as children, leave as names Each laugh we lose, each tear we find Is written in the shape of time The tide won’t freeze, the fire won’t stay But maybe that’s the perfect way To teach a heart that tries to hold That even ashes still shine gold ⸻ ☯️ [Duet – Bridge (She sings, He speaks)] [She sings, softly:] Time is not a thief—it’s a flame That lights the path, then fades the name [He speaks, gently:] You can’t rewind a heartbeat’s tone But you can love it before it’s gone ⸻ 🌟 [Female Vocal – Final Chorus] So breathe it in, then let it fly The light was never yours to tie Each moment’s truth is always new The gift was never meant for you to “do”— Only witness… as it slips through. And you… you change too. ⸻ 🔚 [Male Spoken – Final Word] Everything ends. And because it ends… it matters.
