[Intro]
[Deep synth bass and a lone melancholic guitar riff]

[Verse 1]
I searched for you, peace, in every corner and dark corridor,
Maybe you are in a hidden gulf, or in a secluded sea.
I tracked every footprint, day and night, step by step...
It was clear that I was thirsty, starving for a moment of silence.
Hoping you would fall from the sky, I opened my umbrella upside down.

[Chorus]
And I realized that man is just a piece of the whole,
The ruler of the universe, yet a simple dust brush.
By narrowing down expectations and the ego, frankly...
Tearing down the templates, I chose a brand new path,
By putting on the brakes, I escaped to my own essence.

[Verse 2]
In stories, in fairy tales, on a raft washed ashore,
In the blooming flowers, in the fruit of a dry branch.
In verses, syllables, and rhymes, in a thousand states of the heart...
I was rusty iron to myself, while a crown to the worthless ones,
Perhaps I scattered my attention far too much.

[Chorus]
And I realized that man is just a piece of the whole,
The ruler of the universe, yet a simple dust brush.
By narrowing down expectations and the ego, frankly...
Tearing down the templates, I chose a brand new path,
By putting on the brakes, I escaped to my own essence.

[Bridge]
No more searching outside, no more chasing the wind,
The treasure was hidden right where the journey begins.
From the rust to the crown, from the dust to the stars...

[Outro]
I chose a brand new path...
Escaped to my own essence.
[The music slows down into a calm wide ambient pad]
[End]
