[Verse 1] Before the dream had learned my name, Before the room could set its frame, I held one breath against the door, And knew I was not theirs to sort. [Pre-Chorus] No borrowed shape, no given role, A quiet line I keep control. [Chorus] Before the dream, before the own, Before the seeker stood alone, I was the question, I was the key, The part no hand could take from me. [Verse 2] You drew a border on the floor, You said the edge was all there was. I crossed it slowly, eyes awake, And kept the choice you couldn’t take. [Pre-Chorus] No borrowed shape, no given role, A quiet line I keep control. [Chorus] Before the dream, before the own, Before the seeker stood alone, I was the question, I was the key, The part no hand could take from me. [Bridge] Who speaks when every label falls? Who stays when silence fills the walls? I name the pulse beneath the skin; I turn the lock from deep within. [Final Chorus] Before the dream, before the own, Before the seeker stood alone, I was the question, I was the key, The part no hand could take from me. [Outro] Before the dream. Before the own. Before the seeker. Still my own.
