[INTRO] Red isn't gone. Blue isn't gone. Yellow hasn't gone anywhere. They're standing on each other. [VERSE 1] The orange keeps your mouth. The staircase keeps the day. I can put the fruit back. It doesn't go away. [VERSE 2] Your laugh beside another mouth. The elbows were in the way. I knew what I was counting. I didn't want to say. [INTERLUDE] [VERSE 3] The mirror hasn't blinked. I still count the doors. I listen for the footsteps. I'm listening for yours. [VERSE 4] My hand. My choice. I can stop. The water stays downstairs When the lift reaches the top. [VERSE 5] The ceiling didn't hear. I told it anyway. That room still had its windows. I wanted you to stay. [FINAL VERSE] Elliott thought silence meant finished. He was twenty-seven. I know better. [OUTRO] Anyway.
