I see you leaving before you arrive, The ending writes the prologue in my blood. [Verse 1] Paper unburns in my hands, Letters rejoin the torn spine. Names carve themselves out of wood, Echoes breathe me back alive. [Chorus 2] Forgotten vows close their eyes, Ashes gather where sparks conspire. I hear your footsteps before they begin, The silence signs the prelude in my blood. [Verse 2] Shadows crawl back into their bodies, The key drips backward into the lock. Doors swing closed before I can touch them, And silence becomes the song again. [Bridge] Clocks unravel, hands retreat, Dust returns to the lungs of stone. Every fracture stitches itself, But the scars still whisper. [Chorus 3] Unspoken words fold shut, Ashes bloom where flames expire. I see your shadow before your shape, The final line devours the first. [Verse 3] Windows mend their shattered glass, Moonlight seeps back into night. My breath flows back into my chest, And I return to the first mistake. [Outro] I step into the alley… and the world begins.
