Verse 1 I expected it To lose relevance Once it stopped responding That was naïve There’s too much weight In something finished Too much insistence For a thing without intent I don’t acknowledge shape I don’t accept volume I won’t assign meaning To matter that failed ⸻ Pre-Chorus This was never supposed To continue ⸻ Chorus — spoken, monotone, male It shouldn’t still be here. It shouldn’t require space. Whatever this is, it has exceeded its purpose. ⸻ Verse 2 I avoided thinking About density About what remains When intention ends This isn’t presence This is residue This isn’t intimacy This is a mistake That refuses correction I wanted an ending Not an object ⸻ Pre-Chorus Completion was assumed That was the error ⸻ Chorus — spoken, monotone, male It shouldn’t still be here. It shouldn’t require space. Whatever this is, it has exceeded its purpose. ⸻ Bridge (quiet, dissociated, deeply unsettling) I can’t tell Where it stops And where responsibility Begins I don’t feel guilt I feel inconvenience ⸻ Chorus — spoken, monotone, male (short) It shouldn’t still be here. It shouldn’t. ⸻ Outro I thought removal Would feel like relief Instead There is only Matter Waiting To be dealt with.
