Footsteps tangled in the silence
Like a signal out of phase
Every shadow draws a boundary
Every truth rewrites the maze
I keep patching fractured moments
But the past still bleeds through time
I’m a tenant in my senses
Paying rent for thoughts not mine

City lights blink secret warnings
Spelling out what I can’t prove
Even laughter feels like static
Every heartbeat starts to move
There’s a blueprint in the darkness
Where the roads all curl and bend
I’ve been outrunning borrowed voices–
But they recognize the end

So farewell, if I dim tonight
Like a spark that withdrew its light
If my name dissolves in quiet rain
Don’t trace the path, don’t ask again
Just let me sleep where the echoes fail

Some days I’m just borrowed breathing
In a frame I can’t defend
Every thought becomes a corridor
With no exit, just a bend
I keep searching for a silence
Wide enough to hold my fear–
But the heartbeat in the distance
Pulls me back to what is near

I can feel the world unspooling
Like a thread inside the mind
All the faces blur to patterns
All the answers still confined
I’m a witness to my instincts
In a room without a door
Even hope feels weightless lately–
Like a note without a score

So farewell, if I dim tonight
Like a spark that withdrew its light
If my name dissolves in quiet rain
Don’t trace the path, don’t ask again
Just let me sleep where the echoes fail

If I fall into the static
Leave the tape unplayed, untouched
Some hearts crack like frozen water–
Never loud, but always crushed
I was wired for deeper weather
Not the calm they try to teach
Every promise I could rescue
Died just inches out of reach

So farewell, if I dim tonight
Like a spark that withdrew its light
If my name dissolves in quiet rain
Don’t trace the path, don’t ask again
Just let me sleep where the echoes fail

So farewell, I’m already gone
Like a half-remembered song
If the world asks where I fell
Tell them I slipped beyond the shell–
Where the echoes fail, and the noise grows still
