[Verse 1] The man at the bakery knows my name But I’ve never told him Same dog, same car, same cough Pass me every morning The mail comes late, the sun comes early And no one ever looks up ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – halb gesprochen] I wave at people They wave like clocks I blink The world resets ⸻ [Hook – leicht gesungen, fast wie ein Mantra] This town isn’t real / it just remembers Every step I take / like I’ve been here forever Same roads, no end / no sky that bends This town isn’t real / just keeps pretending ⸻ [Verse 2] Church bell rings at quarter past No one goes, no one asks Windows lit but nothing moves Dinner smells without a source I tried to leave But every turn led back Like the streets folded when I looked away ⸻ [Bridge – ruhig, flüsternd, über rauschende Flächen] I wrote my name in the dirt It was gone the next day But the footprints stayed And none were mine ⸻ [Final Hook – Layered Vocals, aber minimalistisch] This town isn’t real / it just repeats Breathin’ like a song / stuck on one beat This town isn’t real / it dreams through me
