[Verse 1] Every path branches differently Once you’ve seen enough I stopped calling it coincidence Somewhere around the thousandth collapse There are cities that still remember me In timelines I erased by hand People breathing borrowed mornings Without knowing who was damned [Pre-Chorus] And every correction leaves residue A fracture underneath the skin You can move the future slightly But nothing disappears cleanly [Chorus] I walk ahead of consequence Through corridors of time Watching moments reorganize themselves Around decisions that were never mine And every life I alter Follows me like red-shifted light Distant Still burning Long after it should’ve died [Verse 2] Sometimes I hear unfamiliar grief Attached to memories I don’t mourn Faces turning toward me softly Like I abandoned them somewhere before There are versions of you I protected There are versions I couldn’t reach That’s the punishment of observation Knowing what you’ll never see [Pre-Chorus] I used to think omniscience Would bring me clarity Instead it feels like carrying oceans No one else can see [Chorus] I walk ahead of consequence Inside machinery older than fate Changing tiny angles carefully Until entire worlds recalibrate But every thread I reposition Pulls another loose behind And somewhere Beyond the signal I hear it keeping track of time [Bridge] I crossed through mirrored halls... Where dying starlight falls... Each pulse bent space and time... Still I kept crossing lines... Like something deep beyond... Turned slowly when I called... And through the pale blue skies... Their future echoes wave goodbye... [Final Chorus] Now every room feels temporary And every morning veils Like the universe resents me For ringing the cathedral bells” And still I keep moving forward With right now behind my eyes If I ever stop walking… I’ll lose you on the other side [Outro] (quiet, nearly exhausted) I’ll lose you on the other side…
