No signal

no signal…” (repeats, fading in/out)

Empty space breathing around me

Something’s here but it don’t speak back

I reach out and it folds away

Like it never learned my name

I wake up in a half-lit room

No clocks, no shape, no sense of soon

Thoughts drift like they’re not my own

Like I’m here but fully gone

I hear my name but it’s distorted

Like it’s pulled through broken water

Every feeling gets translated

Into noise I can’t remember

Walls breathe slow, they lean in closer

Like they know I don’t feel sober

Even silence feels like motion

Pulling me into the ocean

I don’t respond, I just dissolve

Every problem I evolve

Into something I can’t solve

So I let it take it all

I try to hold on, but it slips

Through my mind and through my grip

Now I’m floating, piece by piece

Losing weight inside of me

No signal, I’m lost inside

Echoes where I used to hide

Shadows crawl but I can’t decide

Which side of me I keep alive

No signal, the world fades thin

Static hum beneath my skin

If I break I don’t begin

I just sink where it’s always been

(instrumental break—glassy synth chords, chopped vocal fragments:

“no… no signal… I fade… I fade…”)

I talk, but it comes out wrong

Like my voice don’t stay for long

It bends before it reaches air

Like it knows nobody’s there

Memories glitch and overlap

Different versions start to snap

I can’t tell what’s real or staged

Everything feels pre-arranged

I look inward, see reflections

Splitting into intersections

Every version of me talking

But none of them are responding

I tried to anchor, tried to stay

But the ground just pulled away

Now I drift in layers of grey

Where I forget I fade each day

No signal, I’m lost inside

Echoes where I used to hide

Shadows crawl but I can’t decide

Which side of me I keep alive

No signal, I disappear

But I don’t feel gone from here

I just fade into the fear

That I was never really near

If I am real, then why does it bend?

Why does every thought descend?

Into spaces I can’t defend

Where I start and don’t end

I hear silence speaking loud

Like it’s wearing my face now

And I can’t tell if I’m proud

Or just part of the crowd

(no signal… no signal… no signal…)

(chopped, stretched, reversed vocals)

pads swell like collapsing memory

No signal, I’m lost inside

Echoes where I used to hide

Shadows crawl but I can’t decide

Which side of me I keep alive

No signal, I disappear

But I don’t feel gone from here

I just fade into the fear

That I was never really near

Everything slows

Even thought dissolves
