Maybe Silence Pulled Us

[Intro | spoken word | calm, reassuring | no drums] Hey, dear anxious one... There is something waiting for you in the silence. The avoidant didn’t take it. They want you to have it... [beat begins to build] It’s your magic. [Verse 1 | weird wop beat drop] Every time you closed the door, swear you closed it on me. You say, “Go find yourself,” it sounded like, “Live without me.” I’d panic, map it all out, assume it was a tragedy— have me freak the fuck out, mind filled with all the false doubt. You needed space, drawn to my spark. You saw it there when we were apart. My magic lived in the silence, in your memory. Always came back just to see, hoping I’d find it eventually. [Pre-Chorus | beat thins out] You want the real me, all the magic that you see... didn’t wanna take it from me... [Chorus] I think I figured out the hidden lesson maybe distance cleared the view when I finally stopped all the guessing maybe silence pulled us through & saw broken and beautiful as a blessing maybe I came back to you [Verse 2 | darker, more rhythmic] I’m not saying you were always right. There’s times I still needed you to fight. But you ran away, and all I did was chase you. Maybe you weren’t running from me... but from yourself too. From who we both became inside the dynamic— you saw me losing my name, you saw me lose my magic. Looking out for me, I thought you only looked out for you. I thought you ran because you didn’t care... Maybe you ran because you still did too. And I held on so tight, I disappeared. And you became someone I felt unsafe near. But if you still see the magic underneath what we became, and I can find myself again without erasing your name... [Bridge | beat almost disappears] Maybe you weren’t running from the real me... You were running from the girl our pain was making me. And maybe every time you pushed away... you hoped I’d finally run toward me. [Final Chorus] I think I figured out the hidden lesson maybe distance cleared the view when I finally stopped all the guessing maybe silence pulled us through & saw broken and beautiful as a blessing maybe I came back to you [Outro | complete beat blackout | spoken softly] Maybe... this is where we start
