WIRE & ASH continues. 03 — When I Don’t Make It. Not every absence is failure. Not every silence means defeat. Some nights, just breathing is resistance.

RagnaRose 👉https://suno.com/s/lpZYzy3J0tzQb2YQ ------- Lyric: ------- Last train. Grey light. City breathing through the night. Headphones on. Window black. My reflection looking back. Every face is somewhere else, Scrolling through a borrowed pulse. I sit still, but inside Something flickers, something pulls. I learned to speak in measured tones, To leave before I say too much. It’s easier to disappear Than risk a human touch. If I go quiet for a while It’s not because I’m gone. I just don’t know How long I can perform. When I don’t make it To the end of the night, Don’t send me home Like I failed the light. If I fall silent In the noise, Don’t count the seconds, Don’t reduce my voice. Just hold me When I don’t make it. I watch my shadow in the glass, Like proof that I still take up space. Some nights it feels conditional Existing on a moving train. If I don’t shine for a moment, If I don’t feed the room Does the silence close around me Like I was never in it? I miss when being quiet Didn’t mean I disappeared. I miss when I was breathing Without being monitored by fear. When I don’t make it To the end of the night, Don’t tell me “next time” Like it’s a fight. If I lose signal In the crowd, Don’t turn the volume Up too loud. Just stay near When I don’t make it. I am not the echo Of what I release. I am not the numbers That follow me. I am still here Even when The room forgets To look. When I don’t make it Through the noise, Don’t measure me In points or poise. If I close my eyes Before the end, Don’t move on Just pretend That being quiet Is enough. Last train. Grey light. Still breathing Through the night. © Xirbaf 2026
