[Verse 1] I keep your footsteps in a drawer of bone Filed between the things that never made it home Every word you lost, I labeled “almost true” Every version of you… I kept a few There’s a room that hums with unfinished names Ink still wet on your discarded frames You think you lived just once, clean and through But I have… several copies of you [Pre-Chorus] Don’t look behind the glass You won’t like what survived [Chorus] I am the hand that never forgets The breath between your life and regrets Every echo, every fracture you hide I keep them catalogued… alive You fade, you burn, you rewrite your past I bind it tighter every time you collapse You call it gone, you call it truth But nothing is lost once I’ve touched you [Verse 2] I’ve pressed your silence into velvet trays Pinned your secrets in geometric arrays There’s a symmetry to the way you break A pattern in every choice you make I watched you choose the same mistake twice Adjusted the label, called it “advice” You think time moves… but it folds for me A perfect, recursive gallery [Pre-Chorus] Don’t ask what I’ve kept That you begged me to erase [Chorus] I am the hand that never forgets The breath between your life and regrets Every echo, every fracture you hide I keep them catalogued… alive You fade, you burn, you rewrite your past I bind it tighter every time you collapse You call it gone, you call it truth But nothing is lost once I’ve touched you [Bridge – layered whispers, slightly out of sync] (“version 3 failed” / “subject divergence noted” / “retain anomaly”) I don’t judge I don’t choose I preserve what you refuse Every scream you buried deep Every promise you couldn’t keep You were never just one line— You were always… an archive [Final Chorus – heavier, more unstable] I am the hand that never forgets The shape of your most perfect regrets Every ending you tried to outrun I have them all… every one You break, you split, you call it fate I simply annotate You call it death, you call it proof— I just… file another you [Outro – quiet, almost gentle] Rest now… You’ve been recorded
