[Verse 1] I can still remember Thinking I was self-made Like my opinions appeared The way rain appears As if nothing touched them On the way down As if a life could happen Without fingerprints [Verse 2] But every room leaves something A phrase A posture A fear Somebody points Toward a horizon And years later You’re still walking [Pre-Chorus] The strange part isn’t influence The strange part is forgetting [Chorus] I carry voices I don’t recognize Old instructions Still running inside A crowd of ghosts Behind my eyes And somehow I call it mine [Verse 3] A book opens a window A heartbreak moves a wall A screen repeats a sentence Until it sounds like memory Nothing arrives alone Nothing travels clean The world keeps leaving traces In everything it sees [Pre-Chorus] The strange part isn’t influence The strange part is forgetting [Chorus] I carry voices I don’t recognize Old instructions Still running inside A crowd of ghosts Behind my eyes And somehow I call it mine [Bridge] I don’t want escape I don’t want purity I don’t want a mountain Far above the noise I want to notice The pressure of a thumb The shape of a suggestion Before it becomes a choice [Outro] The tide still moves me The wind still bends the trees The difference now Is seeing The difference now Is seeing
