[Verse 1]
She says
"Reality is the breath you take now"
then sips her tea
eyes on the window, not on me
Street hum far away
but here it’s just her shoulder, my knees
Almost touching
never meeting
[Chorus]
Truth wears no mask
stands naked in the present
right here between your question and my reply
We sit in the gap
like candles that forgot to light
trusting the dark to show us why
(show us why)
[Verse 2]
Her voice
barely leans across the table
Names fall off
like coats from a crowded chair
I watch her thumb trace
circles on a folded napkin
as if the cosmos
fit inside that square
[Chorus]
Truth wears no mask
stands naked in the present
right here between your inhale and my sigh
We float in the pause
two planets that refuse to collide
letting the silence answer why
(answer why)
[Bridge]
Is this all we ever had
this quiet, this quiet
Coffee rings and second thoughts
riot in my chest
She smiles like a secret
I may never hold
yet somehow already know
(already know)
[Chorus]
Truth wears no mask
stands naked in the present
right here between your heartbeat and mine
We breathe in the dark
two sparks that decide not to shine
letting the silence draw the line
(draw the line)
