Night Sand

### Song Lyrics #### Verse 1 Night sand under my soles A sky unstitched in light Fingers read the weathered marks That flare when shadows bite The wind tastes like a secret Each comet keeps a key I cross the last known boundary And leave the map of me --- #### Chorus **In the hollow I meet the tale** **All the places memory forgot** Glass dragons breathe slow embers Counting what we cost I walk the rim of what I knew Beyond the lines the elders drew **In the hollow I meet the tale** And the tale turns toward you --- #### Verse 2 A keel of sleeping stone Cuts through a silent sea Captainless and candleless Their crowns are made of grief They press a folded ledger And ask for one true name I trade the word I keep for warmth And watch the letters flame --- #### Bridge 1 If I stitch a new horizon, will the old one stay If I trade a single memory, what else slips away This magic is a mirror, it takes and gives the same I pull the thread; the world pulls back my name --- #### Verse 3 Lanterns hung on promises Sway like distant moons Fisherfolk of futures cast nets for afternoons A child hums a compass tune That points to nowhere known The tide returns a stranger Who calls my voice his own --- #### Chorus **In the hollow I meet the tale** **All the places memory forgot** Forests grown from whispered vows Ruins wrapped in thought I walk the rim of what I knew Beyond the lines the elders drew **In the hollow I meet the tale** And the tale turns toward you --- #### Bridge 2 Who will I be when the ink runs thin When the runes forget the shape I’m in Every bargain leaves a margin, every promise leaves a scar I hold the page; it holds the star --- #### Verse 4 Glass gardens keep their silence Where old gods breathe like steam Petals folded into riddles, roots that dream a dream I kneel to touch the statues, they answer with a face A reflection made of memory that slowly takes my place --- #### Bridge 3 If I give the story back, will the world remain the same Or will the seam I mend unravel into flame This magic is a two-edged tide, it lifts and pulls me through I write the line; the line writes you --- #### Chorus Final Variation **In the hollow I meet the tale** **All the places memory forgot** Kingdoms sleeping under glass Waiting to be sought I walk the rim of what I knew Past the charts the elders drew **In the hollow I meet the tale** And the tale writes me into you --- #### Outro Night sand under my soles A sky that keeps my name I leave a trail of stories So someone else can claim
