[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] One summer eve I cupped a glow in my palm No clue what it was, just a quiet charm Stolen from a garden stripped of hue and scent Yet when I breathed it in, it felt heaven-sent [Verse 2] I curled my fingers tight, squeezed that spark real slow Whispered a wish I thought only I would know But when I pried my hands apart, the truth cut sharp What I held wasn't mine—was someone else's heart [Chorus] When you stop running, tilt your chin to the sky Watch the dead stars blink their old light back alive Then you'll finally see, the clock was never ticking Time was just a ghost we kept mindlessly chasing [Verse 3] Life's a trick of magic that never had a start A flame that burns bright in a void without a heart No beginning, no edge, no final fading breath Just a glow that lingers, outrunning death [Bridge] That stolen light wasn't mine to take or keep It was a secret the universe wanted to leak We're all just borrowing sparks from dreams unspoken Chasing echoes of what we thought we'd broken [Chorus] When you stop running, tilt your chin to the sky Watch the dead stars blink their old light back alive Then you'll finally see, the clock was never ticking Time was just a ghost we kept mindlessly chasing [Outro] (Instrumental Solo)
