Altitude Bloom
Track 30 of Velvet Altitude
[ Lyrics ]
I bloom at altitude, higher than the truth. I bloom at altitude, no more proof. Used to chase the glow of a runway light, packed my pain in a Louis Vuitton life. Dined alone with the ghosts you left, burned the script, now I write my text. Met myself in a Tokyo train, finally knew my own middle name. Not just fame, not just flame— I’m the spark and the saving grace. No more waiting on a call at three, no more saving seats for you and me. I don’t need the love you never gave— I built a temple where I behave. I bloom at altitude, higher than the truth, every scar a petal, every doubt the root. I bloom at altitude, no fear in the view, I’ve outgrown the shadows you once drew. Left the keys in a suite in Spain, all the lies drowned in champagne. Flew through storms with my seat reclined, peace arrived when I stopped to find. No more maps, no more plans, I’m the rhythm, I’m the dance. You were just a stop on the line— I’m the journey, I’m the climb. Silk route sins and sky lounge games, flew so high, now I own my name. Not your muse, not your myth— I’m the end and the infinite. From Nobu nights to private tears, from gold card charges to final years of pretending I was half of two— now I stand in the fullness of who… …is enough. I bloom at altitude, higher than the truth, every scar a petal, every wound the juice. I bloom at altitude, calm in the view, I’ve become the sunrise I once flew to. I bloom — I bloom — I bloom… Higher than the truth… Yeah… I bloom.
