[Intro: muted pulse begins immediately. Piano plays a simple repeating figure, dry and even.] Moments keep landing before I’m ready light hits too hard then goes unsteady Some frames come clean some cut me in half finger on shutter already past [Kaori violin enters briefly between lines — short, clipped notes, never sustained.] I don’t fix the angle don’t wait for a sign if it’s overexposed it was still mine [Texture narrows slightly; rhythm stays unchanged.] No rewind no safe review I’m in the picture while I’m passing through [Beat continues without lift. Piano and rhythm lock. Violin drops out or stays minimal.] The world feels like pictures still rolling through I’m not outside it I’m caught in it too Every shot counts even the wrong ones motion keeps going long after it’s done Verse 2 [Same groove, no reset.] Some frames aren’t meant to leave my hands blurred at the edges still understand Corners cut off faces half-seen proof I was moving not standing clean [Violin answers with slightly dissonant accents, never melodic.] I don’t pose for it don’t slow my stride if I’m in the frame that means I tried [Very subtle harmonic shift, almost unnoticed.] I used to step back look for control turns out the focus follows the roll [Identical energy to first chorus. No emotional rise.] The world feels like pictures stacked out of order light leaks in from the wrong corners I don’t erase what didn’t align if it was lived it stays in the line Bridge [Beat thins but does not stop. Piano holds longer notes.] Film takes time to show what it saw doesn’t panic doesn’t redraw [Kaori violin holds a single note, then drifts slightly sharp — patient, unresolved.] If meaning shows up later on that doesn’t mean I shot it wrong [Full texture returns, still restrained.] The world feels like pictures still being made I walk through the moment while it’s being saved No perfect focus no final view just keep the roll moving and tell the truth End [Beat continues for one extra bar, then cuts.] I don’t chase clarity don’t freeze the light I let it catch me as I pass by
