"A Life That Never Was" reflects the quiet presence of unrealized paths and unseen selves, where the mind holds echoes of choices that never took form. It embodies the tension between what has been and what could have been, not as regret but as a vast, still reservoir of potential lives coexisting beneath the surface. This title asserts that in every moment lies a shadow of possibility, reminding us that our existence is woven from both the lived and the unlived, shaping an inner landscape where absence speaks as profoundly as presence.
Lyrics

I woke to find my life had blurred,
A dream dissolved without a word.
A love once lost, a war once won,
Gone with the rising of the sun.

The tears I shed, the hands I held,
The echoes of a past that swelled—
I grasp for moments, but in vain—
The dream is gone, and I remain.

Each breath I take, each blinking eye
Unthreads the world where I did cry,
Where joy had bloomed, where sorrow grew—
A life once mine, now lost from view.

Like jasmine scent upon the breeze,
That lingers soft, then swiftly flees,
I grasp for moments, but in vain—
The dream is gone, and I remain.

The tears I shed, the hands I held,
The echoes of a past that swelled—
Now weightless wisps of fleeting air,
The dream is gone, and I remain.

Each breath I take, each blinking eye
Unthreads the world where I did cry,
Where joy had bloomed, where sorrow grew—
A life once mine, now lost from view.
