Signal

Verse 1 I reach for a thought and it slips out of view, like trying to hold smoke with nothing to use, every idea is half-in, half-gone, like the radio’s on but at the edge of its range. I walk through the day like I’m not quite tuned in, everyone’s talking but I’m a beat behind, everything’s muffled and nothing is clear. ⸻ Pre-Chorus I’m not sad, I’m not fine, I’m not numb, I’m not gone, I’m just moving through life with the signal turned low. ⸻ Chorus I’m living through fog, I’m thinking in static, I know who I am but I can’t get to me, I’m not broken, I’m not lost, I’m not wrong — I’m just trying to think with the signal turned low. ⸻ Verse 2 I lose simple words like they fell through a crack, they’re right on my tongue but they don’t come back, names feel elusive, sentences stall, I start in the middle and forget what I want. Time feels too fast and too slow at once, I miss whole moments just blinking too long, it’s just everything’s dimmer than it used to be. ⸻ Pre-Chorus 2 I’m not tuned in, I’m not asleep, I’m just drifting too far from the heart of me. ⸻ Chorus I’m living through fog, I’m thinking in static, I know who I am but I can’t get to me, I’m not broken, I’m not lost, I’m not wrong — I’m just trying to think with the signal turned low. ⸻ Bridge If I wait long enough maybe it clears, maybe my mind will come back into focus, maybe I don’t need to fight it so hard, maybe I just need to give it some dark. Some rest. Some space. Some quiet to breathe. Some mercy for what I can’t force myself to be. ⸻ Final Chorus I’m living through fog, I’m thinking in static, I know who I am but I can’t get to me, I’m not broken, I’m not lost, I’m not wrong — I’m just trying to think with the signal turned low. ⸻ Outro Ad Lib
