Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Classroom hum Fluorescent buzz in my bones Every scrape of a chair Feels like a storm in my skull Words line up in my head But they freeze on the way to my tongue So I count the ceiling tiles Til the panic comes undone [Pre-Chorus] You think I’m somewhere far away I’m right here Every twitch Every whisper in the air I catch it I keep it Like shells in my fist I just don’t have a map From my thoughts to my lips [Chorus] I speak in saltwater language Where the ripples say my name When I dive I finally vanish All the noise All the blame If you want to know my heart You gotta meet me where I start I speak in saltwater language Can you hear me in the waves? [Verse 2] Your hand on my shoulder Too sudden It burns like a spark All the colors on the walls Turn too bright Then too dark But I see the crack in your smile When you’re trying to joke through the day I see the way your fingers shake When you’re putting your phone away [Pre-Chorus] I answer you with glances With the way I breathe Tap my thumb To the rhythm on my knee I’m not silent inside I’m just stuck at the gate With an ocean of sentences Backed up by fate [Chorus] I speak in saltwater language Where the ripples say my name When I dive I finally vanish All the noise All the blame If you want to know my heart You gotta meet me where I start I speak in saltwater language Can you hear me in the waves? [Bridge] [low vocal register] Under the surface It’s quiet and clear I open my eyes And the world disappears I turn on my back And I talk to the sky In bubbles and currents In breath and in tide [whispered vocals] I’m trying I’m trying To reach you on land So watch how I listen Just follow my hands [Chorus]

Male vocals up close and intimate on verses; chorus opens with wide synths, gang-style “oh”s, and stacked harmonies. Subtle processed vocal chops echo key phrases like waves. Bridge strips back to piano, distant toms, and reverb-soaked ambience, then swells into a final big-hook chorus., light
