[Verse 1] Blank sky No sky Just breathing in a colorless hush His footsteps fall On nothing Still they echo like a practiced lie Hands out Grasping For a wall that never learned to rise He mouths A question But the air has never heard of sound [Chorus] He walks the line Between ruin and rebirth Ash on his tongue And dust in his words He feels the fire But he can’t see the earth He walks the line Between ruin and rebirth [Verse 2] Shattered Shapes Of a life that never got to start Rust-red cities Folded Into grains on an invisible chart He sees his name Half-written In a script that flickers Then fades “Was I the storm Or the seed?” [low vocal register] He whispers to the vacant dark [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] If I speak Will something answer? If I fall Will something grow? [louder] If I break Can this be building? If I stay Will I ever know? [crescendo] Light like a bruise Blooming under skin Shapes out of shadow Breathing him in Rubble rearranged Into fragile grace Past in his footprints Future in his face [Chorus]
