Weightless certainty Carried silent Reached through layers Dissolved mid-air Hollow lines to bear The more I pose pose, the less remains The bright I once held true Slipping further what we knew What we knew Falling back We’re falling back Did I once, fit in Same old, same sins The more I hide, the less I ain't Bluffing through the fame The more I rise, the more I get Slowly sucked into someone’s game The more I speak, the less I claim Learning to smile through shattered glass Played the script, and called it my past My bits one step out of reach A trick I taught myself to preach Every lie I hold feels true If I bought in, then so did you And underneath this noble shame Is just a sound, caught in a frame Are we these codes, these clean designs Noise dressed up in hopeful lines When we speak of what’s real, it stings But no one's listening to those things When we speak from what’s real within Light will let us start again Every truth shifts a norm A softer cage, a nicer worn And every second I'm not the one I used to be I’m not the one you used to see I’m not the one you used to see <V.4.5.+> <Art, lyrics, prompting F©REII 14-07-2025>
