vibes

[Verse 1]
We’re living in a world
Drawn thin like a single line,
A quiet little map
Where nothing ever turns or rises.
But somewhere in the wind,
A rumor brushed across our quiet—
A place with more than left and right,
A place with something like a height.

[Verse 2]
And someone in the dark
Sketched circles in the empty air,
Whispering, “maybe there’s an up,
A place we’ve never been aware.”
And just that fragile thought
Fell deep into our paper town,
And even all the shadows
Lost the way they used to fall.

[Chorus]
In this flat, flat world
We trace the edges with our fingers,
Wondering if there’s
A room beneath the silence where
Another direction lingers.
And I keep reaching out
For something I can’t feel or see—
A hidden axis calling me
Out of this quiet, trembling line.

[Verse 3]
New words drifted in—
Depth and height and something whole,
Like letters from a star
Addressed to our two-dimensional souls.
They rippled in the night,
A strange soft echo we could hear,
A wave that broke our boundaries
And pulled us somewhere near.

[Chorus]
In this flat, flat world
We walk along the same old page,
Wondering if we might
Be curved in ways we can’t explain—
Just folded by an unseen hand,
Or bent by something we deny.
Still I keep looking for
A doorway hidden in the sky.

[Bridge]
What if behind me
There’s a shape I’ve never known?
What if above me
There’s a hand that gently pulls my shadow home?
And maybe someday
When this paper starts to tear,
We’ll step into the empty
And find a thickness in the air.

[Final Chorus]
At the edge of our flat world
We’ll lay our trembling questions down,
Turn toward the axis
That was calling from the whispering ground.
And when the light breaks in
To fill the space we never had,
We’ll understand at last—
There was a deeper universe
Inside our fragile, paper selves.
