[Intro — Whisper / Clock Pulse] Tick… Tick… The hands keep moving… But I’m still standing where the seasons left me. A thousand sunsets behind my eyes… A thousand versions of me that never said goodbye. [Verse 1] I wore the winter like a second skin, Carried the storms I was buried in. Held every word I was too afraid to say, Watched little pieces of myself fade away. The mirror knows the names I forgot, The battles I won, the battles I lost. Every scar was a map I was meant to read, Every ending planted a different seed. [Pre-Chorus] I chased tomorrow through yesterday, Trying to hold what time takes away. But the clock was never counting down… It was teaching me how to become now. [Chorus — Sax Theme Enters] The season clock inside my soul, Keeps turning when the world lets go. Through the fire, through the rain, Through the beauty and the pain. I was the shadow, I was the light, I was the war I fought every night. But every broken piece I found… Was a heartbeat waiting underground. [Verse 2] Spring came wearing a stranger’s face, A quiet voice saying, “You’re still here, embrace.” The roots I thought were dead and gone, Were reaching for the rising dawn. I blamed the sky for every storm, Never knew the thunder kept me warm. The lightning wasn’t there to destroy… It was waking the child I buried in the noise. [Bridge — Saxophone Solo / Spoken Word] Maybe time isn't a river… Maybe it’s a mirror. Maybe every version of ourselves is still breathing somewhere. The child… The dreamer… The survivor… All waiting for the moment we finally come home. [Final Chorus — Full Ascension] The season clock has learned to breathe, It found the forest inside the tree. No more running from what I’ve become, No more hiding from the rising sun. I am the winter, I am the rain, I am the flower born from the pain. Every second, every scar, every sound… Was the universe turning me around. [Outro — Saxophone and Heartbeat] The hands stop moving… The silence sings… I was never losing time… I was becoming.
