Lyrics
**[Verse 1]**
They whispered you alive in shadows—
saints, and the salt-twist of the abyss.
You keep waiting for the sky to shatter like chandeliers,
but the wind just keeps slipping through the holes in your chest.
**[Verse 2]**
One day you’ll leave.
And when you leave
you’ll be nothing but a corridor—
a clean, white absence nobody remembers.
**[Chorus – rising like dawn over water]**
Tell me, do you even know
WHO it is you’re talking to?
(Who—who—who)
Tell me, do you even know
WHAT it is you’re hiding?
(What—what—what)
---
**[Verse 1 – tape rewound, moonlight in reverse]**
No one ever nailed the truth to the wall—
just defendants and the cold plaster of empty rooms.
You wait for heaven to unzip itself in a rush of wings,
but the floorboards answer back: *step here, this is real.*
**[Verse 2 – voice dipped in smoke & velvet]**
Until they all walk out.
And when they walk
they turn to dust—
old celluloid burning in the throat of the projector.
**[Chorus – full orchestra lunging toward the sun]**
Tell me, do you even know
WHO you’re undressing with your eyes?
Tell me, do you even know
WHICH voice is calling your name?
(It scalds the ribs!)
---
**[Bridge – whisper over double-bass heartbeats]**
Between the creed and the wasteland,
between the scream and the well-bottom hush,
an underground river keeps guessing your name—
it sings only for you, and it never repeats.
**[Final Chorus – choir stacked like thunderclouds]**
DO YOU KNOW
WHO LIVES INSIDE YOU?
(The void keeps knocking!)
DO YOU KNOW
WHO CUTS YOU OPEN?
(A call that never burns out!)
**[Last Breath – one candle, one breath left]**
…or are you just an echo caught in the throat
of the big night that never answers?
…until the sun makes a saint of you
or leaves you
light, weightless,
awkward ash on the breeze.
