Layered Like a Question

[Verse 1] Wake up Crumbs in the bed Old dreams Coffee in a cracked cup Steam writes ghost-thin schemes Why am I here In this rented skin This year Teeth in the mirror Asking "Who’s steering?" [Chorus] Layered like a question Tier on tier of doubt Frosted with suggestions That never quite work out Every single answer Hides another "what if" ache I’m a fragile Shaking candle On a vocal-cake waveform quake (oh) On a vocal-cake waveform quake [Verse 2] Laugh track Playing in my lone skull Jokes land Then fall flat Silence in the punch bowl Is this all staged Or did I miss the cue If there’s a script Why’s it written in blue [Chorus] Layered like a question Tier on tier of doubt Frosted with confessions I’m scared to say out loud Every tiny answer Births a bigger Darker shake I’m a flicker in the oven On a vocal-cake waveform quake (hey) On a vocal-cake waveform quake [Bridge] If I peel back All the sweet Bright icing Would I find fact Or just more disguising If I cut right Through the middle of this shape Would there be light Or just crumbs on the plate [Chorus] Layered like a question Tier on tier of doubt Stacked voices in succession All trying to get out Every fleeting answer Is another wave to break I’m a choir made of tremors On a vocal-cake waveform quake (oh) On a vocal-cake waveform quake
