[Intro]
Dark water hums, a breath between heartbeats
Deep below the world’s loud cry
[Verse 1]
Tethered to a whisper, I drift where the sun forgot to go
Salt on my lips, salt in a memory I can’t outgrow
The ocean wears a crown of silence, heavy with a patient stare
I measure my own smallness against the vast, unspoken dare
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows ripple, and I hear the distance counting years
Breath becomes a prayer, and fear becomes my closest peers
[Chorus]
I float in the dark where stars should fall away
A leviathan blooms in bioluminescent gray
If I blink, will I vanish into the night?
Or raise my eyes to light and find the courage to ignite
[Verse 2]
The giant lantern wakes, eyes like moons of cold design
Gifting whispers of gravity, of meaning I can’t redefine
Its tendrils of glow brush the hull of my bravest lies
I hear the ocean asking, who among us survives
[Pre-Chorus]
The pressure climbs, a drumbeat in the marrow of my skin
I’m nothing but a line on a ledger of within
[Chorus]
I float in the dark where stars should fall away
A leviathan blooms in bioluminescent gray
If I blink, will I vanish into the night?
Or raise my eyes to light and find the courage to ignite
[Bridge]
What if courage is a small, deliberate choice
To keep breathing when the sea forgets your name
What if fear is just a tide that slowly wanes
And I remain, not broken, but awake
[Chorus]
I float in the dark where stars should fall away
A leviathan blooms in bioluminescent gray
If I blink, will I vanish into the night?
Or raise my eyes to light and find the courage to ignite
[Outro]
The abyss hums softer as I drift into dawn’s cold kiss
Not triumph, but truth: I am here, I exist, I resist
