Velvet static hums tonight, Neon shadows flicker bright. A lock turns slow inside my mind, The pulse of stars begins to chime. Close my eyes, I feel the spin, Dreams are coded deep within. Glass and fire, skin and sound, The lost are waking underground. Through the hidden door — break the core, Light spills out across the floor. Every breath’s a signal, every chord’s a key, Unlock the ghosts that wait in me. Echoes rise beneath my skin, Mother’s voice comes drifting in. Static rain on broken glass, All the years collapse at last. Let it pull me, let it rise, Feel the dawn behind my eyes. Seven colors start to bend, Lantern calling to ascend. Through the hidden door — break the core, Light spills out across the floor. Every breath’s a signal, every chord’s a key, Unlock the ghosts that wait in me. Light to dust, dust to wave, Burn the dream you meant to save. Seven voices, one design, Lantern pulse — realign. Through the hidden door I find my name, All that’s broken lights the flame. Mom and Dad awaken slow, The Lantern hums — we glow. (whispered) Charlie: “I love you more.” Andy & Rose: “We know.”
