Lyrics
You were there before the light
In the corners of my sight
Like a whisper I can’t prove
Still I feel it pulling through
Every step I tried to trace
Led me back to empty space
But your shadow stays in view
Like I almost knew you
[Verse 1 Response – Male (soft, close, ambiguous)]
I was there inside your mind
In the spaces you can’t find
Every breath you thought was yours
Carried me behind the doors
You don’t lose me when I fade
I’m the echo that remains
Every time you reach the truth
You get closer into me
[Hook – Female]
I keep chasing your mirage
Through the ruins of my heart
Every touch just falls apart
But it feels so real in the dark
[Hook Response – Male]
You keep chasing what you feel
Even if it’s never real
Every touch you try to hold
Is the story you were told
[Chorus – BOTH (layered, slow, hypnotic)]
Are you real… or just a dream?
Living somewhere in between
If I reach… will you stay?
Or dissolve and slip away?
I can feel you in the dark
Like a flame without a spark
If you’re gone… why are you
Everywhere I turn to?
[Verse 2 – Female] (your original)
You shimmer like a memory
Soft enough to make me believe
But every time I reach for you
You dissolve like morning dew
[Verse 2 Response – Male]
You don’t see me when I stay
Only when I slip away
I’m the shape you can’t define
Half in truth and half in time
[Bridge – alternating → merging]
[Female]
Are you real or just the ghost
[Male]
Of the one you wanted most
[Female]
Why do I still feel you close
[Male]
When I’m something you can’t hold
[Both – layered]
If I’m gone, then let me be
If I’m real, then don’t release
🌫️ [Glitch Outro – dual illusion fracture]
[Female]
you were there…
[Male]
…never there…
[Female]
still chasing…
[Male]
…your mirage…
[Both – slightly off timing]
are you real…
…or my heart…
[Final whisper merge]
…I’m still here…
…you’re not there…
…still… there…
