[Verse 1] The world goes quiet, one by one the lights go out No voices left to call my name or ask about I sit alone inside the hollow of these walls And turn my eyes from everything external, all Isolation settles deep into the bone A silence thicker than I’ve ever known I close the door on every face and every sound And start the long walk inward, underground [Verse 2] Down through the corridors of thought I slowly fall Past old regrets and half-remembered calls The mind becomes a landscape wide and strange Where every memory rearranges I feel the universe press close on every side Not outer space, but something vast inside Stars made of questions, darkness made of me A cosmos opening where none could see [Chorus] Clarity rises, sight climbing high Through the corridors of my own sky The universe surrounds me, vast and still I look down from above and feel My place inside the whole that is me The stars are thoughts, the void is free Clarity [Verse 3] Then something shifts—my sight begins to rise Lifting beyond the body’s small disguise Higher than fear, higher than the weight I wore Until the room, the self, the floor are far below I look down from a place I never knew On everything I thought was solid, true The life I lived now small and far away A single point inside a greater day [Verse 4] From this high silence, everything is clear I see the shape of all that brought me here The universe was never somewhere else to find It was the quiet architecture of my mind I am the space the stars are burning in The watcher and the watched, the end and the begin My place was always here, complete and free The universe that is, and always was, just me [Chorus] Clarity rises, sight climbing high Through the corridors of my own sky The universe surrounds me, vast and still I look down from above and feel My place inside the whole that is me The stars are thoughts, the void is free Clarity [Outro] Soft return… the quiet stays Clarity remains
