I stood at the lip of a circle, glowing like a thought God forgot to bury— and the void looked back with no eyes, just the hush of a question I had no language to answer. You ever meet your own silence and realise it’s been talking this whole damn time? I was knee-deep in nothingness, but it held me like memory— soft, then sudden. Like maybe forgetting is a kind of forgiveness. Like maybe names were never meant to outlive the mouths that made them. I called out: Who am I if no one remembers? The circle pulsed. The echo returned: Who are you when you forget? The floor was a mirror. My feet: two truths trembling over the fiction of form. And I thought— maybe I’m not the shadow or the light, but the thin, trembling seam between them. The crack that lets the maybe in. And what is a body but borrowed geometry? A circle walks in, leaves a square behind— some box I built for certainty, too heavy to carry, too scared to open. I keep thinking clarity is a lighthouse. But maybe it’s fog that chooses to let you through. Maybe answers aren’t the end of the question— just punctuation trying to pass as purpose. And in that breathless blue, between shape and shimmer, I remembered: I am the question mark walking, the pause with legs, the paradox praying for rain.
Instructional lyrics
[Intro: Low synth pulse every two beats, airy pad swells, faint bell tones.] I stood at the lip of a circle, glowing like a thought God forgot to bury— and the void looked back with no eyes, just the hush of a question I had no language to answer. [Verse 1: Slow bass line slides, piano hits occasional sustained notes.] You ever meet your own silence and realise it’s been talking this whole damn time? I was knee-deep in nothingness, but it held me like memory— soft, then sudden. Like maybe forgetting is a kind of forgiveness. [Chorus: Pads widen, percussion enters with a deep, soft thud.] I called out: Who am I if no one remembers? The circle pulsed. The echo returned: Who are you when you forget? [Verse 2: Synth arpeggio trickles in faintly.] The floor was a mirror. My feet: two truths trembling over the fiction of form. And I thought— maybe I’m not the shadow or the light, but the thin, trembling seam between them. [Bridge: Percussion drops, airy drones swell higher.] I keep thinking clarity is a lighthouse. But maybe it’s fog that chooses to let you through. Maybe answers aren’t the end of the question— just punctuation trying to pass as purpose. [Outro: Pads fade to a thin high drone, last piano chord lingering.] And in that breathless blue, between shape and shimmer, I remembered: I am the question mark walking, the pause with legs, the paradox praying for rain.
