Intro — Female Vocal
There’s a church near the highway
Where the stained glass never catches light
Just pale colors dissolving into dust
Every time the sun moves
I used to think people healed all at once
Like storms breaking clean from the sky
Now I think it happens slowly
In tiny invisible directions
⸻
Verse 1 — Female Vocal
Your name still lives inside certain songs
Not the obvious ones
The quiet tracks buried halfway through albums
Nobody else remembers
And grief is strange
It doesn’t always arrive crying
Sometimes it enters wearing your old clothes
Making coffee in the morning silence
I’ve spent years mistaking numbness for peace
Mistaking distance for wisdom
But your hands always dragged honesty out of me
Like roots pulled wet from the earth
⸻
Pre-Chorus — Female Vocal
You said:
“People don’t disappear all at once
They fade in layers.”
God, I hated how true that sounded
⸻
Chorus — Female Vocal
So if I vanish someday
Don’t turn me into a lesson
Don’t polish me into poetry
Or soften the sharp parts for strangers
Remember me unfinished
Half holy, half feral
Still learning how to carry
This impossible heart
⸻
Verse 2 — Male Rap Feature
Yeah
My father wore silence like a uniform
Pressed clean, never wrinkled
Whole house built around things we didn’t say
I learned early
Men get rewarded for disappearing correctly
For swallowing storms whole
Then calling it strength
Now everybody I know drinks a little too much
Sleeps with the TV on
Talks about freedom like it’s somewhere else
Like it isn’t terrified and breathing inside them already
And me?
I still got anger stitched into my bloodstream
Still got old versions of myself
Hiding like knives in the kitchen drawers
But when she looks at me
Not like a problem to solve
Not like a wound to romanticize
Just human
Man
It makes surviving feel almost possible
⸻
Bridge — Female + Male
Female:
Maybe love is just witnessing
Male:
Maybe healing’s just staying
Female:
Maybe nobody really saves anybody
Male:
Maybe we just stop each other from drowning alone
⸻
Final Chorus — Female Vocal
So if the whole world burns colder
If the lights go out one by one
I’ll still search for your voice in the wreckage
Soft as smoke in my lungs
And if I break apart completely
If every illusion comes undone
At least for one beautiful moment
I was known by someone
⸻
Outro — Female Vocal
The moon hangs low above the treeline
Like something unfinished
And somewhere beyond the sleeping houses
A train keeps moving west
Like it believes
There’s still time to become something else
Weber
