This is my entry for the #soundseasons event and I tried something different again. I have a version with glitches and echoes but I couldn't finish it in time so this is a different ones. I hope you'll like it as well.

It's also another story like my previous ones.

║ Prolog ║

╚═•◦•◦•═════════•◦•◦•═╝

Lyra’s curiosity broke the seal between seconds, and she fell into a silent drift. Umbra, following her light, slipped through the same tear. Now they share a strange land where time warps and every step feels both instant and endless.

║ Lyrics ║

╚═•◦•◦•═════════•◦•◦•═╝

『 Verse 』

Walls shift and swim around

This non place, it stretches thin

Then collapses

Time’s a sound

A broken record skipping, a frantic spin.

Umbra’s near

A fixed point maybe

Or just dragged in

To this bizarre chronal sin?

The air itself feels heavy and then disappears.

Seconds crawl

Then years just flash

Gone

『 Chorus』

Caught in the temporal snare!

Fast forward, rewind, no control

Stuck between the tick and the teər

Cracking the frame of my soul!

A moment lasts forever

Dragging on

『 Post-Chorus』

Then shatters like cheap glass thrown.

Are we escaping?

NEVER.

Just particles randomly sown

『 Verse 』

One step takes an age to land

So slow

My breath hangs suspended, like a painting

Then the next step? A blur across the sand

Or whatever this floor is, imitating

Solid ground?

Umbra reaches out, hand moving too fast.

Then stopping, still.

A future? A past?

This prison makes no sound.

Just the feeling of the universe unwinding, ill.

Is that morning? Or endless dusk?

My own thoughts fraying at the husk.

『 Chorus』

Caught in the temporal snare!

Fast forward, rewind, no control

Stuck between the tick and the teər

Cracking the frame of my soul!

A moment lasts forever

Dragging on...

『 Post-Chorus』

Then shatters like cheap glass thrown.

Are we escaping?

NEVER.

Just particles randomly sown.

『 Bridge』

Is... is this... real?

Tell me.

Or a dream state?

The edges blur, I can’t feel.

Anything solid... it’s too late.

Umbra?

Can you hear me through the fuzz?

Nothing between us

Because...

Because...

(why?)

『 Outro』

Fast slow broken

Is it fast?

Or just broken time?

At least we are together
