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
