[Verse 1] I saw you blink — or was it rain? The window shook, I lost my name You spoke in clouds, I coughed in light You said “just sleep”, I stayed upright [Pre-Chorus] [sighs] You're... not here — but you're so loud I wear your silence like a shroud [Chorus] (feather in the static, feather in the static) Thoughts like feathers — in the static Rushing, pushing, panic, panic (feather in the static, feather in the static) You don't ask, but still, I answer You don't look, but I'm the dancer [Verse 2] My teeth are dreams I grind at night My tongue forgets what feels alright You twist the truth — a paper bird You burn it slow, without a word [Pre-Chorus] [background whispers / call & response] (You know, you know, you know...) It’s not my head, it’s not my fault The wires are red, the salt is salt [Chorus] (feather in the static, feather in the static) I float, I choke, I try to land You clap with one dismembered hand (feather in the static, feather in the static) All your noise becomes my skin I try to scream — you pull me in [Bridge – Choral build-up, echoey, almost mantra-like] (feather... feather... feather...) Don’t tell me what’s real Don’t sell me the deal Don’t call it a phase Don’t smile while I fade [Spoken fragment, half-whispered] I’m not insane, I’m... just full. [Chorus – final, explosive] (feather in the static, feather in the static) I’m not your echo, I’m the crack I’m not your string, I won’t come back (feather in the static, feather in the static) Thoughts like feathers — sharp and cold Don’t clip my wings — just let me fold [Outro – fade out on whispered repetitions] (feather... feather... feather in the static...) (feather... feather...)
