[Intro – distant, echoing] Why’s it feel so empty… (so empty… so empty…) [Verse 1] Astral reflection Honed her heart like a blessing Starry eyes, new direction Found herself at the seven-eleven Fluorescent lights now guiding Every aisle, truths aligning Something in her chest kept shining Like a sunrise slowly rising But the silence felt heavy again Like a ghost in the frame Every step in the same place But nothing remained [Pre-Hook] She said she on that real lift Can you feel it Haven’t felt it since I was a kid Sippin’ hope from the id My crown got cleared, now it glows Wide open, it shows You can always come back home [Hook – layered dual meaning] Same river, brighter name Same soul, higher flame You keep coming back the same Till you remember why you came No need No need No need to hide within The light was always there You just had to let it in (echo layer) Why’s it feel so empty… [Verse 2 – emotional contrast] The shadow of you still in my doorway The places where we danced feel so far away I still feel you there I still feel you there Tried so hard to make this a home But it echoes when I’m here alone I know it’s all inside my head Still feels like something’s missing instead [Bridge / Build] Time shift Mind drifting to peace You remember your reasons increase Living in a bright new skin Different face, same light within Seeing outside what starts within You been here in love You’ll be here again [Drop – hypnotic mantra fusion] Why’s it feel so empty (Empty… empty…) Same soul, same flame Calling out your name I know it’s all in my head (All in my head…) No need to hide within Let the light back in [Verse 3 – realization] Gravity center Soft reality mender She cracked the code Returned, surrendered Every life she tried to remember Every spark beyond the ember Glowing warm in each December Rising bright forever [Breakdown – spoken, airy] Sacred living fractals… Nothing was ever gone… (whisper) You weren’t empty… You just forgot… [Final Hook – resolution] Same river, brighter name Same soul, higher flame You were never really changed Just remembering why you came No need No need No need to hide within I know it’s all in my head But the light is breaking in [Outro – fading loop] Why’s it feel so empty… (so empty… so empty…) Just the light… Just the light… Just the light…
