The Hour Between Breaths

[Verse 1] Fingers hover, unsure where to land Every motion slips out of my hands Air turns thin, I’m caught in between Half awake inside a fading scene Eyes stay open just enough to see Everything that’s escaping me Something pulls but never explains I unravel without a name [Pre-Chorus] I stay where the moment stalls Right before it breaks at all Balanced on a quiet edge Where I almost confess [Chorus] This is the hour between breaths Where nothing moves and nothing rests Where every word I never said Circles back inside my head I linger where the world goes still Between the want and the will Not alive, not quite gone Just a pause I’m leaning on [Verse 2] Your name flickers across my tongue Fades away before it’s sung I let it vanish, let it pass Like something I was never meant to grasp Every step just stays the same Every path dissolves to gray I could leave or I could remain But both feel equally the same [Pre-Chorus] I stay where the moment stalls Right before the final fall Balanced where the air gets thin Afraid to start again [Chorus] This is the hour between breaths Where nothing moves and nothing rests Where every word I never said Circles back inside my head I linger where the world goes still Between the want and the will Not alive, not quite gone Just a pause I’m leaning on [Bridge] If I move, it all becomes real If I speak, it cuts too deep So I stay inside this space Where I don’t have to choose If I reach, I might feel If I feel, I might break So I hover in between Every risk I never take [Final Chorus] This is the hour between breaths Held inside my quiet chest Where I almost let you in Then retreat beneath my skin I linger where the world goes still Between the want and the will Not alive, not quite gone Just a pause I’m leaning on [Outro] I remain, I don’t progress Caught inside this emptiness Never leaving, never left The hour between breaths…
