[Intro]
Soft rain taps on a window pane, a compass sinks below the skin
Whispers thread a map of questions that I dare not think aloud within
[Verse 1]
I walk the hallways of my own abyss, where shadows learn my name
A door stands behind the silence, but I’m learning not to call its flame
The clock forgets its minutes, and the air remembers every fear
I chase a quiet echo’s corner, where the truth won’t disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
If meaning hides in the quiet depths, I’ll dive where the light won’t bend
If I’m lost in the undertow of self, I’ll drift until I’m found again
[Chorus]
Underneath the surface, I want to understand
What hides in the stillness, what trembles in my hands
If I keep listening long enough, maybe I’ll hear my own name
Calling from the midnight deep, calling me to stay the same
[Verse 2]
My breath writes rivers on the walls, maps of what I cannot say
The stars within me flicker out of reach, then pulse to guide my way
A lantern sways in unseen rooms, where questions breathe and wait
I measure mercy in small truths, like footprints in the rain outside the gate
[Pre-Chorus]
If meaning hides in the quiet depths, I’ll dive where the light won’t bend
If I’m lost in the undertow of self, I’ll drift until I’m found again
[Chorus]
Underneath the surface, I want to understand
What hides in the stillness, what trembles in my hands
If I keep listening long enough, maybe I’ll hear my own name
Calling from the midnight deep, calling me to stay the same
[Bridge]
Let the quiet swallow fear, let the questions rise and glow
There’s a shore beyond the shoreline, where the inner rivers flow
[Chorus]
Underneath the surface, I want to understand
What hides in the stillness, what trembles in my hands
If I keep listening long enough, maybe I’ll hear my own name
Calling from the midnight deep, calling me to stay the same
[Outro]
The rain keeps time with a softer key, a lantern fading into dawn
Perhaps meaning waits where I stop looking, where the inner night moves on
