transitional · unsettled · becoming
The self stands in the gap — not the person who left, not yet the one arriving — suspended in the strange vertigo of becoming someone you can't quite name yet.
The Person Between Versions
Verse 1
We left our old names on the table
Like clothes that no longer fit the shape we've grown
The rooms we lived in feel like fables
And the roads we walked feel borrowed, not our own
Something is ending without ceremony
Something is starting without a proper name
We stand between two different stories
Not sure which version of ourselves to claim
Chorus
We are the gap between the leaving and the land
The breath before the sentence, the reach before the hand
We are becoming something we cannot yet read
Half the person planted, half the one that's freed
The gap between who we were and who we're becoming
Is the only honest place we've ever been
Bridge
It is not loss exactly
It is not arrival either
It is the long walk between two selves
With no map and no believer
But we keep going anyway
Because the gap is also ground
We are not broken in the in-between
We are simply being found
Verse 2
We grieve the old familiar mirrors
The reflex answers, the rehearsed reply
But something in us keeps moving nearer
To a truer shape we haven't lived inside
Chorus
We are the gap between the leaving and the land
The breath before the sentence, the reach before the hand
We are becoming something we cannot yet read
Half the person planted, half the one that's freed
The gap between who we were and who we're becoming
Is the only honest place we've ever been
Outro
We are the gap
We are the distance crossed
We are the becoming
Not the found, not the lost
