Margin Notes

Orange lines, yellow light Static hums in my head tonight Glasses low, sky-blue stare I overthink what you don’t care Fingers trace the edge of ink I write before I let myself think Data streams and analog doubt I circle words I won’t say out loud Pre-Chorus I catalog the way you breathe Footnotes under everything I look calm, but inside I’m wired Curious, careful, quietly on fire Chorus I live in margin notes and side effects Soft control and subtle threats Say my name, then don’t explain I’ll write the rest between the lines I’m anxious, I’m exact, I’m true I want to know what you’d let me do Turn the page—don’t look back I keep the secrets you forgot Verse 2 Silver thoughts, beige routines Dress shoes on experimental dreams Hammerhead mind, wide-set view I see angles nobody else sees you from Journal close, pulse gets tight Order fights the appetite I’m polite, I’m well-behaved Till curiosity starts misbehaving Pre-Chorus Every touch is archived clean Time-stamped wants, unspoken scenes I don’t rush—I document Pleasure’s better when it’s meant Chorus I live in margin notes and side effects Soft control and subtle threats Say my name, then don’t explain I’ll write the rest between the lines I’m anxious, I’m exact, I’m true I want to know what you’d let me do Turn the page—don’t look back I keep the secrets you forgot Bridge (Minimal / Darkwave) Quiet hands, loud intent I don’t break rules—I bend If you’re nervous, so am I Let’s pretend that’s the point tonight Final Chorus Margin notes, black ink skin Let me in, then let me win I don’t shout, I don’t attack I remember every fact Turn the page, hold your breath I record what happens next Outro Filed. Signed. Still thinking about you.
