Vacant & Ascending

Verse I Just another motel with flickering lights no where left to go Fluorescent light flickering sickly above the door like warning “Vacancy” reads, bleeding through the glass like it’s mourning Darkness bleeds around the building, making the world hidden, unknown Waiting in this empty room for you to step back into dreams My mind's eye already sees you as you cut through all the haze You walk in, lock the door, and steal my breath in a daze you slay internal doubts, make me crumble to your arms like past regimes Chorus Vacancy calls our names again But we don’t answer, we transcend Was it a gift or just a curse? We’re not gone… we’re just reversed Verse II The room is still and quiet, but we speak behind our eyes Our souls - seismic tremors - through dilated gates - emerge, merge, riot, blend Time feels stilled yet dissolving us as we transcend Our chrysalis cracks, we stretch our wings, aborn, old self dies as we rise Vacancy flickers out, like it’s trying to rewrite our names in reverse Felt like we were cornered. It wasn't our tomb, but a strident cradle We’re not leaving—we’re being erased from the fable Everything changed. One question remains. Was it a blessing or a curse Outro Nothing remains. Our new selves look for new ways. To cut a slice of light From the night
