Déjà vu

(Deja vu, deja vu) (Same timeline, same view) Deja vu, deja vu Phone light, slow haze, same old view Deja vu, deja vu Waking up just to press resume Deja vu, deja vu Same thumb dance in the same faint blue Deja vu, deja vu Different day stamp, same old you No alarm clock, I just fall and rise Sometimes sunrise, sometimes noon skies Sometimes still up when the birds drift through Red eyes glowing in the midnight hue First thing reach for the ghost in my hand Little glass window to a nowhere land Scroll for a hit in the tiny glow Tiny heart count, tiny “maybe” show Pack in the other room, desk by the wall Smoke turn thoughts into low gray squall Ash in the tray like yesterday’s rain Soft little storm on a looping brain Deja vu, deja vu Phone light, slow haze, same old view Deja vu, deja vu Waking up just to press resume Deja vu, deja vu Fridge door halo in the same dim hue Deja vu, deja vu Same half-shelf hope, same food to chew Laptop shrine on a worn out desk Whole wild mind in a budget spec Cut small clips, chase a phantom stream Post more pieces of a scattered dream Maybe one day with a million eyes Name on a screen in a bright sunrise Maybe one track, one short strange song Pay these bills ‘cause it hit so strong They say “niche down, pick one lane” But I’m wired like a storm in the brain Too many sparks, too much sky Can’t crop the soul just to get by Hair grow wild like a runaway thought Year since touch that the body forgot No last date, no real face near Just floating handles in a scrolling sphere Deja vu, deja vu Phone light, slow haze, same old view Deja vu, deja vu These silver dreams feed the vacuum Deja vu, deja vu Same old doubt in a brand-new view Deja vu, deja vu Never sure if it’s enough for you When the smoke thins out and the cash runs dry Old dark question in the back of the eye If this reel stops on a random night Does it really end or just change the light? Maybe next start is a borrowed name New small city with the same old frame New broken life in a narrow place Same blue glow on a different face New first cry, new school, new pain Same long search in a different rain Same late thoughts in a stranger’s head Same soft drag toward a nameless dread Deja vu, deja vu If the next life plays this one too Deja vu, deja vu Why tap out just to re-run through? Deja vu, deja vu Might stay here in this faded view Deja vu, deja vu Tune this loop till it almost feels true (Deja vu, deja through) (Same old maze with a slightly new hue) (If it all loops and there’s nothing new) (Light it up, watch it all drift through)
