Every wall remembers thunder Even after stone forgets I was built from borrowed hours Still collecting someone else's debt Every promise leaves an outline Pressed beneath the weathered grain I keep wearing older footsteps Like they're stitched into my veins If the earth keeps every secret Why does every echo bleed? If the answer needs a witness Why was I the one to leave? Carry me until the skyline Folds itself into the sea If there's anything worth saving Let it learn to bury me I am more than what survives me Less than what I couldn't name Every fire leaves a doorway Every doorway speaks the same There's a language underneath us Carved before the mouths of men Every heartbeat sounds familiar Like I've lived it all again When the pillars start to shiver Don't mistake it for the end Everything that's ever breathing Only bends to rise again No confession. No forgiveness. Only distance learning shape. No horizon. No returning. Only names we cannot keep. Carry me until the skyline Breaks against another dawn If the silence finally finds me Sing the place where I belong.
