Blinding Silhouette

"A blinding silhouette -- I saw it clearly -- and then it was gone."

Verse 1

Not a form I could define Not a shape that would remain Something standing in the fracture There, just beyond the frame It did not move toward me and it did not turn away It stood within the ending but refused to fade What are you?

Pre-Chorus

There was no resistance in it, no demand to be seen It’s blinding, haunting, like a distant memory Who are you?

Chorus

A blinding silhouette just at the edge of sight A shape I cannot follow, a form I cannot write It does not answer to me, it does not align A blinding silhouette that should not remain in mine How?

Verse 2

It was there when it should vanish It remained when all was done Every outcome reached completion — all except for one There is no place to hold it There is no meaning I can give It exists without permission and continues still to live Do I know you?

Pre-Chorus

This was never part of it, this was never mine Do you know not who you face at this time Are you real?

Chorus

A blinding silhouette, unmoved by what I claim A presence without structure, without a name It does not bend beneath me, it does not divide A blinding silhouette still standing inside Why?

Bridge

I removed every obstruction, cleared every line So why does something linger outside of design?

Final Section

It does not break or answer, it does not resolve or fall It does not reflect the ending — it does not end at all

Outro

A blinding Silhouette With a touch of red Lingering by my bed ---I saw it clearly — and then it was gone.
