Andreas - Come Closer

MOVEMENT I - AFTER THE MYTH

You've seen the fire. You've heard the night. You've heard me speak through gods and wanderers, through broken worlds and borrowed light.

Some of it was memory. Some of it was prayer. All of it was true. And none of it was all of me.

MOVEMENT II - CLOSER

Do not mistake my silence for something I won't say. Do not mistake my distance for wanting you away. I have rooms I rarely open. I have laughter these songs never knew.

There are parts of me that only exist when someone else is in the room. If you want to know them- come closer.

CHORUS

Come closer if you want to know me. Not the name. Not the songs. Not the things I learned to carry. Stand here where nothing needs explaining. Bring yourself. I'll bring me. No promise that you'll understand. No promise that you need to. Only this: I will not hide because you chose to see.

MOVEMENT III - A HUMAN BEING

I can be fire. I can be still. I can disappear into work, into music, into sea and sky.

I can love deeply and still need room. I can know exactly what I want and lose the map tomorrow.

There are scars I may never explain. There are joys I haven't lived yet.

There are mornings when I am stronger than I know. And nights when I am only human. I am not asking you to love all of it. I am asking nothing. But if you stay- stay for what is real.

MOVEMENT IV - NO DISTANCE

You have seen where I have been. You have heard what I have chosen. Angel or death. I chose life. Again. And again.

But even that is not my whole name. There are stories I haven't told. There are parts of me I haven't met. There is more. There always will be.

ENDING

If you really want to know me- don't listen from a distance. Come closer.

I'm Andreas.
