Porcelain Smile

[Verse 1]
Left my name
On a page I can't read anymore
Faces blur
Like rain on a fogged-up door
I forget why
I woke up, then I walk out anyway
Tie my shoes
Like I'm tying what is left of me in place
Every street sign
Sounds like someone I forgot
Every birthday
Feels like candles for a stranger I am not
Carry groceries
Like I'm carrying a borrowed skin
Guess I'm here to hold a world
That I don't recognize I'm in (yeah)
[Chorus]
Porcelain smile on a paper face
Cracking but I keep it in place
I don't know who I am, but I'm still here
Guarding all the things I can't see clear
Fading, fading, holding on in style
End of the world with a borrowed smile
If I disappear in the static tonight
At least I kept your little corner in the light (in the light)
[Verse 2]
I misplace whole months
Find them folded in the laundry pile
Socks, receipts
Tiny graveyard of a crooked mile
I was loud once
Now I talk in subtitles in my head
Every laugh I give away
Feels like chalk on a wall of lead
You say, "You ok?"
I say, "Of course," like it's a chore
Bite my tongue
Till the copper draws a perfect curve
I stay posted
Like a guard dog that forgot the door
Saving people from a fire
I don't feel is mine anymore (nah)
[Chorus]
Porcelain smile on a paper face
Cracking but I keep it in place
I don't know who I am, but I'm still here
Guarding all the things I can't see clear
Fading, fading, holding on in style
End of the world with a borrowed smile
If I disappear in the static tonight
At least I kept your little corner in the light (in the light)
[Bridge]
If I vanish, let me vanish
Like an old film burned at the edge
Write my name in wet cement
Let the weather do the rest
If my reasons all dissolve
Till I'm blank as winter sky
Know I stayed until the end
Just to hold your goodbye
[Chorus]
Porcelain smile on a paper face
Cracking but I keep it in place
I don't know who I am, but I'm still here
Guarding all the things I can't see clear
Fading, fading, holding on in style
End of the world with a borrowed smile
If I disappear in the static tonight
At least I kept your little corner in the light (yeah)

rap, Hazy ambient-rap over distant, detuned pads and soft noise swells, slow head-nod drums with deep sub, male vocals half-whispered in the verses then more projected in the hook; glitches and reversed textures bloom at section transitions, hook lifts with layered humming, filtered ad-libs, and a slightly brighter synth doubling the melody while the mix stays ghostly and intimate, noise, world, ambient, hip hop, emotional
