[Verse | steady beat | warm bass | airy female vocal | summer night highway] Astral Projection Honed her mind like a weapon Starry eyes turned to heaven Lost herself at the seven eleven Fluorescent lights and questions Searching aisles for a lesson Something in her chest kept pressing Like a second resurrection [Pre-Chorus | rising arps | filtered drums | emotional build] She said she on that real shit Can you feel it Haven't felt it since I was a kid Sippin truth from the id My crown got popped like a lid Couldn't stop it, I hid But you can't run from within [Refrain | repeating hook | steady beat | airy female vocal | same soul, new frame] Can't run from within Can't run from within The light was never gone It was buried in the skin Can't run from within Can't run from within You remember where you been [Verse | steady beat | warm bass | airy female vocal | summer night highway] Time skip Mind slippin again You forgot your mission again Born into the same old skin Different face same origin Searching outside what lives within You been here before You'll be here again [Hook | title phrase | short repeat | emotional image | contrast line] Same river different name Same soul different frame You keep coming back the same Till you remember why you came Can't run Can't run Can't run from within The light was never lost You just forgot to let it in [Verse | steady beat | warm bass | airy female vocal | summer night highway] Gravity center Anti reality bender She cracked the code Returned to sender Every life she failed to remember Every flame reduced to ember Rises back in late December Rises back [Bridge | half-time break | distant vocal echoes | city lights shimmering] Government made fractals Intergalactic particles of matter Every truth they tried to scatter Lives inside her Always had her Crown intact They couldn't shatter What was never theirs to have her [Break | sparse breakdown | muted drums | airy female vocal | silence before the return] No drums now Just the pulse and the breath Static in the wire Thin light on the chest Can't run from within Let it echo, let it rest Half-time heart Before the final step [Outro | widescreen synthwave pads | folk flute motif | neon chrome shimmer | slow filter sweep | airy lo-fi textures | beat fade] Can't run Can't run Can't run from within She remembered She remembered What she'd always been Not the body Not the lesson Not the seven eleven Just the light Just the light Just the light Turned back toward heaven
