[Verse 1 – low energy, restrained] Lights stay on across the grid Like someone’s still awake Rooms feel closer than they should Then pull a little late Screens hold steady, no delay No fault I can accuse Every channel built to answer Chooses not to move [Pre-Chorus – slight lift, still controlled] I feel the reach behind my eyes Like pressure in a thought Everywhere is standing by For something not yet caught [Chorus – restrained, no big lift] Something’s gone quiet End to end Like the distance still gone But the answer won’t send Something’s gone quiet Held, not denied Like thinking too clearly Would cross the wrong side [Verse 2 – same energy as verse 1] Maps don’t mean what they used to Nothing’s far anymore Every place I’ve never been Feels like a next-door door I shape a thought, then stop halfway Let it lose its form Some ideas feel heavier The longer they’re kept warm [Pre-Chorus – repeat, slightly firmer] Every signal knows my weight Before I let it go I keep my hands inside my head And call that self-control [Chorus – repeat, slightly firmer but not louder] Something’s gone quiet Across every span Like the reach is still there But it won’t take my hand Something’s gone quiet By choice, not by chance Like answering too early Would count as an act [Bridge – slower, heavier, still restrained] We built this for closeness For never being alone Didn’t ask what it would cost To touch what isn’t our own Now every thought is a threshold Every silence a stand If I finish the sentence I decide who I am [Final Chorus – pull energy back] Something’s gone quiet Still warm, still near Like the world’s holding breath So I don’t steer Something’s gone quiet Not peace, not fear Just the weight of knowing Why nothing’s clear [Outro – very low energy, sparse] Lights stay on, still listening No error, no sign If the world needs patience I can learn the time
