01 Awake at Once

[Verse]
A million mirrors would shatter at dawn
The weight of seeing what’s been all along
The earth would hum with a deafening sound
As roots of truth broke through the ground

[Prechorus]
The sky would blush
The stars would blink
The oceans rise
The mountains shrink

[Chorus]
If we all woke
Awake at once
Would we kneel or would we run
Would we laugh or would we cry
Would we rise or say goodbye

[Verse 2]
The cities would crumble
The forests would cheer
The silence of centuries
Suddenly clear
Faces unmasked
Hearts laid bare
The lies and the love hanging in the air

[Prechorus]
Time would pause
Then time would race
The fragile threads we'd dare to trace

[Chorus]
If we all woke
Awake at once
Would we fight or would we trust
Would we build or would we burn
Would we learn or just return

02 Teach the Stars to Soar

[Verse]
I held the night in trembling hands
Whispered to the dark
Do you understand
The weight of a sky so wide
So still
It bends to no one
Yet bends to will

[Prechorus]
A spark to a flame
A flame to a blaze
Each guiding light sets the heavens ablaze

[Chorus]
Teach the stars to soar
Teach the stars to shine
Show them how to burn
And their fire becomes mine
In giving them wings
I found my own
Teach the stars to soar
And you're never alone

[Verse 2]
I carved constellations from threads of gold
Taught the winds their stories untold
The more I gave
The more I knew
That every path leads back to you

[Bridge]
Every comet trails a hand that guides
Every sunburst hides a heart inside
Teach them to rise
To fall
To climb
And you'll find your own flight in time

[Chorus]
Teach the stars to soar
Teach the stars to shine
Show them how to burn
And their fire becomes mine
In giving them wings
I found my own
Teach the stars to soar
And you're never alone

03 Stardust Reverie

[Verse]
What if we knew we’re the dust of the skies
Carried by comets with fire in their eyes
Would we build towers that scrape at the blue
Or sit in the quiet
The infinite view

[Chorus]
We are stardust
We are flame
Born of chaos
Yet we name
Every shadow
Every star
Do we forget what we truly are

[Verse 2]
Would we still barter for silver and gold
If we knew our atoms are billions of years old
Would we love harder
Would we forgive
If we knew the cosmos is why we live

[Prechorus]
The galaxies spin
A dance so divine
We’re threads in their fabric
A shimmering line

[Chorus]
We are stardust
We are flame
Born of chaos
Yet we name
Every shadow
Every star
Do we forget what we truly are

[Bridge]
Nebulas whisper in colors so bright
Singing of lifetimes and endless night
Time’s but a ripple
A fleeting mirage
Our souls are the echoes of some grand collage
__

04 Stardust in Our Veins

[Verse]
The stars are whispers in the dark of space
A million stories lost without a trace
Do they know our names or see our face

The void hums low like a cello's string
We’re fragments of a much greater thing
A flicker of thought in an endless ring

[Prechorus]
If the cosmos dreams
Do we appear
A fleeting moment
A crystal tear

[Chorus]
Stardust in our veins
Running wild through time's remains
We reach for love like burning flames
We reach for love
Though it never stays

[Verse 2]
Galaxies bloom like flowers in the night
Yet we hold each other in fragile light
A family adrift
But holding tight

Do we matter in the ocean's swell
Do we rise
Do we fall
Will we ever tell
Or are we just echoes in a hollow shell
__

05 Whispers of the Infinite

[Verse]
What do you see from your endless throne
Do you feel my voice in the silent stone
I’m just a flicker a grain a spark
Yet I hum my tune in the deepest dark

[Chorus]
Whisper oh whisper the void replies
From atom to nebula under starless skies
What’s the weight of the infinite what’s the cost
When the smallest thing whispers the largest is lost

[Verse 2]
I see you ripple I see you sway
In the fold of time where the vastness plays
Do you ever crumble do you ever bend
Or is your journey a loop with no end

[Prechorus]
I am the smallest
But I still sing
I am the smallest
I am everything

[Chorus]
Whisper oh whisper the void replies
From atom to nebula under starless skies
What’s the weight of the infinite what’s the cost
When the smallest thing whispers the largest is lost

[Bridge]
You are my shadow I am your breath
Together we circle the life and the death
I pull you inward you push me wide
In the dance of forever we both collide

06 Eternal Now

[Verse]
The stars don't argue they just burn
A quiet lesson we never learn
Fingers point but never touch the flame
We’re mirrors hiding from the frame

[Prechorus]
If we saw the edge of time
Would we still draw crooked lines

[Chorus]
In the eternal now
Would we bow or break
Would we see ourselves
Or just shadows we make
The eternal now
No place to hide
Would we hold each other
Or let the moment slide

[Verse 2]
The moon just watches it doesn't speak
It pulls the tides yet stays so meek
We shout for answers into the void
But the echoes come back paranoid

[Prechorus]
If we heard the silence loud
Would we stand or join the crowd

[Chorus]
In the eternal now
Would we bow or break
Would we see ourselves
Or just shadows we make
The eternal now
No place to hide
Would we hold each other
Or let the moment slide

07 Cosmic Giggle

[Verse]
In the solemn swirl of a nebula’s sigh
We ponder the pomp of a laugh in the sky
False gravitas dripping from stars up above
Inventing a language that rhymes with "shove"

[Chorus]
Cosmic giggle oh
It wriggles
Through the void and all its riddles
Solemn
Comical
A haze of sense
Whispering nonsense that's so immense

[Verse 2]
A solemn clown with a frown made of light
Balancing galaxies on the tip of the night
He mumbles new words like "trizmeral" and "quoke"
Meaning erupts
Then it's gone like a joke

[Prechorus]
Intuition hums
Oh it strums
It strums
In the pulse of the universe’s quantum drums

[Chorus]
Cosmic giggle oh
It wriggles
Through the void and all its riddles
Solemn
Comical
A haze of sense
Whispering nonsense that's so immense

[Bridge]
The stars are pranksters
The moon’s a mime
Planets pirouette to the beat of no time
Every solemn moment hides a jest
Every jest a truth unconfessed

08 The Sandman’s Rebellion

[Verse]
The stars were his lanterns
The night his domain
He carried dreams like whispers
Soft as rain
But tonight he walks backwards
Against the tide
He’s flipping the hourglass
Time won’t hide

[Prechorus]
Alarm clocks wail
Their voices thin
The chorus of sleep
A battle they’ll never win

[Chorus]
The Sandman’s waking
No dust in his hand
The world will rise
Though none understand
Tick tock
Tick tock
The clocks scream deep
But he’s here to break the spell of sleep

[Verse 2]
The moon is his rival
It pleads with its glow
It begs him to falter
To let the dream flow
But his feet strike the cosmos
A rebel’s drum
He’s here to wake the sleepers
Their dawn has come

[Bridge]
Eyes like mirrors
Reflecting the stars
He pulls at the veil
He tears it apart
A symphony of yawns
A rebellion of light
He shatters the silence
The edge of night

[Chorus]
The Sandman’s waking
No dust in his hand
The world will rise
Though none understand
Tick tock
Tick tock
The clocks scream deep
But he’s here to break the spell of sleep

09 The Nameless Doorway

[Verse]
A crown of stars cannot unlock the gate
The scepter bends and crumbles under weight
No name
No rank
No robe of woven gold
Just a soul
A quiet soul
A story untold

[Prechorus]
The echoes hum
They hum and fade
Through endless skies
Where silence is made

[Chorus]
The nameless doorway calls
It calls to me
No title fits in eternity
Harmony whispers
Hierarchy falls
The sacred place knows no walls

[Verse 2]
The sun bows low
The moon sheds her pride
The cosmos spins with nothing to hide
No throne to climb
No ladder to ascend
Just an open hand to comprehend

[Bridge]
Stripped of rank
The truth reveals
A melody the heart conceals
No banners
No flags
No earthly throne
Only harmony
Where we're all alone

[Chorus]
The nameless doorway calls
It calls to me
No title fits in eternity
Harmony whispers
Hierarchy falls
The sacred place knows no walls
__

10 The Threshold of Now

[Verse]
A billion stars in the darkened dome
Whisper truths but leave me alone
Each breath I take a fleeting loan

[Prechorus]
The weight of time a fragile vow
Infinity bends to the here and now

[Chorus]
Oh
The threshold of now
Where the endless collides
With the fleeting somehow
Oh
The threshold of now
Where the infinite hides
In the blink of a brow

[Verse 2]
Galaxies swirl in a cosmic tide
The edge of forever where shadows reside
But here I stand where they coincide

[Bridge]
Endless vastness
Yet so near
A paradox that pulls me clear
Of fear
Of fear

[Chorus]
Oh
The threshold of now
Where the endless collides
With the fleeting somehow
Oh
The threshold of now
Where the infinite hides
In the blink of a brow
