Before
Originally released on December 19, 2025.
Before sunset
Before midnight’s crest
Before sunrise bleeds gold, confessed
Moments hang like lanterns, untold
Before the dawn
When the sky holds its breath
Shadows thin to threads
Between what is and what’s left
The world whispers low
In a tongue I don’t know
A place where all time moves slow
Before sunset
Before midnight’s crest
Before sunrise bleeds gold, confessed
Moments hang like lanterns, untold
Before the rush begins
Before the battle wins
We live in the quiet where it all thins
In the in-between light
Stars play hide and seek
Behind a milky veil so deep
Moonlight, the thief
Steals the dark leaf by leaf
I chase the silence down
I chase the fading sound
Footprints on the frost
Never counting the cost

It’s the space where dreams collide
The trembling edge of the tide
Before sunset
Before midnight’s crest
Before sunrise bleeds gold, confessed
A fragile truth we gently hold
Before the storm breaks clear
Before the flight from fear
We breathe the stillness, drawing near
In the almost-light
If time’s a river, cold and deep
I’ll swim upstream, a vow to keep
Find the cracks within the flow
Let the quiet dreamtime grow
No clocks to bind
No chains to find
No bitter echoes left behind
Just this fleeting, sweet refrain
Before sunset
Before midnight’s crest
Before sunrise bleeds gold, confessed
Moments hang like lanterns, untold
Before the storm breaks clear
Before the flight from fear
We breathe the stillness, drawing near
In the almost-light
Before… In the almost-light
Before… In the in-between light
Before… Woo
Before… Woo
