[Verse 1] The pendulum drags with a tired swing. Relief turns to guilt before it lands. Your silence stacks higher than reason. We circle the fracture we won’t claim. [Pre Chorus] The floor keeps shifting under every word. A ritual of holding back, holding on. [Chorus] When did you turn into a stranger? In this house collapsing under your patterns. Stagnant days keep grinding us empty, And I’m creeping through every poisoned moment. Tell me—how long till familiar corrodes? [Verse 2] Denial tastes sweet until it cuts deep. Your mood snaps fast like a brittle wire. My numbness spreads slow like winter frost. The question hangs cold between our breaths. [Pre Chorus] The floor keeps shifting under every word. A ritual of holding back, holding on. [Bridge] Should I stay when the quiet feels violent. Should I stay when the warmth turns hollow. Should I stay when the truth keeps drifting. Or is staying just another slow exit. [Final Chorus] When did you turn into a stranger? In this house collapsing under your patterns. Stagnant days keep grinding us empty, And I’m creeping through every poisoned moment. Tell me—how long till familiar corrodes. When does love stop sounding like home?
