Verse 1
You slipped in sideways through the signal,
Left your fingerprints in sound,
Every thought began to stutter
When your voice was all around.
I watched myself from far behind me,
Like a body out of phase,
Every word I tried to hold onto
Drifted off and rearranged.
Pre-Chorus
Something glitched beneath your noise,
A pulse I couldn’t kill—
Chorus
You don’t live inside me now,
Just a trace I can’t decode,
All your patterns breaking down
In the static you controlled.
I don’t hear you in the sound—
Just an empty undertone.
Verse 2
You looped me into repetition,
Cut the edges off of truth,
Turned reflection into fragments
That kept slipping out of view.
I was speaking in your language,
But it never felt like mine,
Like a ghost inside a system
Running out of time.
Pre-Chorus
Now the circuit’s wearing thin,
And the silence cuts you out—
Chorus
You don’t live inside me now,
Just a trace I can’t decode,
All your patterns breaking down
In the static you controlled.
I don’t hear you in the sound—
Just an empty undertone.
Bridge (very minimal, almost spoken)
No shape, no name,
No signal to blame,
Just space where you stayed
Collapsing away.
I don’t follow the noise,
I don’t answer your voice,
There’s a break in the line—
And it’s finally mine.
Final Chorus (fragile → dissolving)
You don’t live inside me now,
You’re a glitch I let go,
Every trace of you is fading
Through a system I outgrew.
I don’t hear you in the sound—
Only silence I own,
Only silence I own.
