night falls heavy like a curtain made of static
city breathes neon, everything bends, erratic
i’m on the edge of myself, don’t know where i’m at
boots on the pavement but the ground don’t clap back
vision splitting into pieces like glass in slow rain
heard my name in the wind but it wasn’t my name
lights turn liquid, crawling up the walls of my brain
every thought i try to hold just dissolves in the flame
met her in the haze like she walked out the smoke
smiling like she knew all the things i won’t spoke
she said “you look lost but you look kinda alive”
took my hand, said “follow me, don’t ask why”
now the world is a loop, same street, different sky
time folding over like it’s learning to die
i’m laughing at nothing, she’s laughing too hard
we don’t know what’s real but it’s hitting that part
bass in the chest like a heartbeat glitch
everything flickers like reality switched
faces in mirrors don’t match what I feel
but it feels too good so I’m not checking what’s real
we drift through the night in a slow motion film
every sound underwater, every color too real
she disappears then she’s right back again
like the world keeps re-writing where she has been
i can’t tell if I’m higher or just finally free
or if freedom just looks like losing the “me”
streetlights melt into gold on her skin
she whispers “don’t fight it, just let it begin”
and i do
and i fall through the floors of a dream inside dream
hear my thoughts echo back but they’re not what they mean
there’s a crowd in my head but they don’t have a face
just emotions in motion in a spinning space
i see my past in the corners, it’s watching me laugh
like it knows i won’t make it back down this path
but i don’t even care, i’m too deep in the sound
every heartbeat a wave pulling further down
she says “we’re just fragments pretending we’re whole”
touches my chest like she’s reading my soul
and the night keeps unfolding, no end, no start
just a loop of light breaking me apart
then silence hits heavy, like a door closing slow
she’s gone but she isn’t, I still kinda know
that nothing was real but it still left a mark
like a song you remember in total dark
i’m back on the sidewalk, shaking in the cold
city still moving like nothing was told
but i swear for a second I wasn’t alone
in a world made of noise that felt like my home
