Solaris Venitas

[Verse I: Hollow Reflections] You ask yourself— Am I enough? Will they see me? Will I shine? Your hands trace the edges of a life you hope to mold but I have never asked such things I have only ever wondered how to be the crack in the mirror the wrong note in their perfect song the storm that moves against the tide (And so I rise, step by step, through the wreckage) [Pre-Chorus: The Divergence] While you count stars, I count doors While you wait for answers, I carve them from the silence You stand still, hoping for a crown I keep walking, knowing I'll take it [Chorus: Ascent] I knew the moment my hunger became a blade I knew the moment my name became a whisper in their throats— I was meant to reach the heights where the air is thin where even the sun kneels to burn alone (Oh, how it glows) (Oh, how it devours) [Verse II: The Summit’s Irony] You, them, all of you—so many faces, so many echoes I pass through them like a ghost with a purpose And when I arrive, when I stand at the peak, I will look down I will see you I will watch you cry again (Not because you lost—) (But because I won) [Chorus: Ascent] I knew the moment my hunger became a blade I knew the moment my name became a whisper in their throats— I was meant to reach the heights where the air is thin where even the sun kneels to burn alone (Oh, how it glows) (Oh, how it devours) [Bridge: The Sun’s Lament] The view from here is vast, endless— but the wind does not whisper the sky does not answer the fire only burns for itself [Outro: Radiant and Ruined] Like the sun blazing, untouchable— but utterly, utterly alone
