[Intro] The tap is running somewhere down the hall. Blue dots glowing through a fractured screen. [Verse 1] Another alarm blinking three seventeen A draft sits open, cursor blinking still The window light has shifted without me The hallway's dark, I didn't hear them leave An upload queue still cycling in the background A voice channel empty since around nine I thought the door was open when I entered I didn't check to see whose name was signed [Pre-Chorus] I carried what I made here I set it in the room The signal wasn't broken I just couldn't read the room [Chorus] Then I looked up And every silence started sounding deliberate Every timestamp read like evidence Every question felt like it was waiting Every answer landed somewhere wrong I thought the light was warm here Maybe I was reading it wrong all along [Verse 2] The same names glowing in the same pale channel The same warm laughter through a screen I missed A status light that's been online for hours A message I typed out and never sent I wasn't somewhere else - I was so far inside That outside had already moved along The room kept filling up with what I'd missed And I kept building something in the dark [Pre-Chorus] I wasn't trying to vanish I went somewhere too deep The deep end doesn't tell you When the house has fallen quiet [Chorus] Then I looked up And every silence started sounding deliberate Every timestamp read like evidence Every question felt like it was waiting Every answer landed somewhere wrong I thought the light was warm here Maybe I was reading it wrong all along [Bridge] The faucet's still running I meant to turn it off The trash is still waiting I meant to take it out Every pause I left behind me Sounded like confession I meant to show up early I meant to stay [Final Chorus] Now I look up Not at the timestamps or the evidence Not at the silence or what it meant Just at the shape of who I've been here And the parts I never noticed getting spent The light was real I just lived too far inside to feel it from the front [Outro] The tap is still running Somewhere down the hall
