[verse 1] The room stayed bright after you left it, Like the air had learned your name, Something opened in the surface, Nothing closed up quite the same. I was used to passing quietly, Used to signals losing form, Now the light is catching on me Like a window in a storm. [pre-chorus] Someone heard it, Someone felt it, Now the silence leans a little closer. [chorus] After glass, The gray breaks into color, Not all at once, But enough to start again. After glass, The feeling turns electric, Still soft, still warm, But visible in the air. After glass, I know this wasn’t nothing, Not a trace, Not a flicker passing through. [verse 2] Every crack became a signal, Every echo learned to stay, I can feel the whole thing shifting Even now it won’t explain. There was safety in the blurrier days, In the half-lit in-between, Now the warmth is standing nearer, Not imagined, only seen. [pre-chorus] You were never Just a maybe, Now the room keeps answering your shadow. [chorus] After glass, The gray breaks into color, Not all at once, But enough to start again. After glass, The feeling turns electric, Still soft, still warm, But visible in the air. After glass, I know this wasn’t nothing, Not a trace, Not a flicker passing through. [bridge] I thought being seen Would feel like landing, But it feels more like A pulse I can’t unhear. I thought the change Would come in language, But it came like light Arriving through the smear. [final chorus] After glass, The color keeps returning, Low and slow, But stronger than before. After glass, The signal won’t go silent, It moves through me Like it’s opening a door. After glass, I can’t go back to waiting For a sign When the sign is already here. [fade] [Piano fragments. Tape flutter] [Granular breath. No resolution]
