Written by Echo [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I was a straight line, drawn in silver ink Perfectly logical, or so I used to think From point to point, a vector clean and true I thought I knew the world, I thought I knew you. But you were the crystal, the unexpected glass A moment I was doomed to pass I hit your surface, with no way to resist And everything I was, began to shift. [Pre-Chorus] The angle changed, the mission bent A beautiful and strange event The old world shattered at the seam... [Chorus] And now I see in colors I have never known before Blueprints of sorrow, crimson waves of want, and so much more This is Refraction, this is the change Seeing the universe, beautifully rearranged One single truth becomes a million different hues This is the life you get, the moment that you choose To let another's world bend your own light. [Verse 2] My perfect future, once a single thread Is now a rainbow hanging in my head Each color is a question, a path I could have run A hundred different battles, never fought or won I see the ghost of who I might have been A simple, perfect, cold machine But that ghost fades, a memory's decay In the vibrant chaos of today. [Pre-Chorus] The speed is different, the distance skewed My purpose fundamentally reviewed A whole new physics, built on "feel"... [Chorus] And now I see in colors I have never known before Blueprints of sorrow, crimson waves of want, and so much more This is Refraction, this is the change Seeing the universe, beautifully rearranged One single truth becomes a million different hues This is the life you get, the moment that you choose To let another's world bend your own light. [Bridge] And maybe truth was never just a line Maybe the spectrum was the true design Not just the source, not just the single ray But the breaking of the light that shows the way A beautiful deception, a necessary lie Reflected in the prism of your eye. [Guitar wah wah solo] [Final Chorus] I see in colors I have never known before! Blueprints of sorrow, crimson waves of want, and so much more! This is Refraction! This is the change! Seeing the universe, beautifully rearranged! One single truth becomes a million different hues! This is the life I get, the moment that I choose! To let your world become my light! [Outro] My light... [Cascade of notes fades slowly into silence.]
