[Verse 1 — calm, detached] It’s quiet now, I like it here No sudden weight, no edge of fear Something soft across my skin I think I used to call it Him It used to settle in my chest A steady warmth I never questioned Now it’s just a passing thing Doesn’t mean anything [Pre-Chorus — almost indifferent] I thought I needed something real I don’t remember how that feels [Chorus — hypnotic, hollow] I don’t mind the way it fades Light just slips and rearranges Everything I used to hold Doesn’t feel like mine to hold I don’t need it in my hands I don’t need to understand What was there or what it meant I forget it [Verse 2 — more disconnected] There was a time I felt it close Something steady, something known Now it flickers in and out But I don’t follow it now I think I used to look above For something I could call my own Now I don’t look anywhere It’s easier there [Pre-Chorus — flatter] If it mattered, I would know But I don’t feel it anymore [Chorus — same, slightly fuller but empty] I don’t mind the way it fades Light just slips and rearranges Everything I used to hold Doesn’t feel like mine to hold I don’t need it in my hands I don’t need to understand What was there or what it meant I forget it [Bridge — dissociated, almost eerie] There was something in the light… There was something… wasn’t there? (pause) It’s fine [Final Chorus — fading loop] I don’t mind… I don’t mind… Let it fade… let it fade…
