Verse 1 You’re sitting still but you’re somewhere else Gravity loosens around yourself Room keeps talking, you don’t respond Your eyes go quiet, then they’re gone I catch a flicker you didn’t plan A soft collapse of the outer mask Like you forgot the role you’re in And let the real thing slip again Pre-Chorus For a second I see the wires and seams Painted skies and plywood dreams Everyone’s dressed, waiting on cue But you fell through the view Chorus It’s a flash, just a crack in the frame Where the script forgets your name Curtains breathe, the lights go dim I see backstage leaking in Cosmic boredom, tender and bare You drift past time in that empty stare Just one glimpse, then you’re gone again Actors mouthing lines till the end Verse 2 Your hands don’t move but your thoughts do Slipping sideways out of the room Like half a set behind the wall Waiting for a different call You look like you heard something old A memory not meant to be told A private ache, a borrowed doubt Then you pull the costume back on now Pre-Chorus I swear I saw the stage lights shake Props half built, a scene on break A moment raw, unpolished, true Then the world snaps back on cue Chorus It’s a flash, just a crack in the frame Where the script forgets your name Curtains breathe, the lights go dim I see backstage leaking in Cosmic boredom, tender and bare You drift past time in that empty stare Just one glimpse, then you’re gone again Actors mouthing lines till the end Bridge No applause for what I saw No language for the flaw Just a tear in make-believe Where I almost got to see Outro Now we’re talking like nothing’s wrong Same old set, same tired song But I know what I saw back then The real you, blinking in
