[Verse 1] I keep a candle burning next to the speakers Wax dripping down like time I don’t keep There’s a melody hiding under my fingers But it won’t come out clean I say your name like it’s part of the process Like if I whisper it, something might click But every chord just circles the same wound And I’m stuck in it [Pre-Chorus] If I bleed it out will you make it holy? If I break it down will it finally breathe? [Chorus] I’m writing songs about writing songs about you Layer by layer until I disappear in the truth Every line just another excuse to get closer But I never do So I stack my voice like a ritual choir Pitch it perfect just to bury the liar If I make it beautiful maybe it’s real Maybe I feel you [Verse 2] There’s a ghost in the grid when I open the session Soft in the noise like it wants to be known I chase it for hours inside of compression But it’s never my own I twist every word till it sounds like a confession Even the silence is begging for shape But the more that I try to make something worth keeping The more it escapes [Pre-Chorus] If I strip it down to the bare essentials Will you recognize what I couldn’t say? [Chorus] I’m writing songs about writing songs about you Every refrain just a wound I refuse to remove I build you a body out of distortion But you don’t move So I drown in the reverb, call it devotion Quantize the pain till it fits in the moment If I make it sound right maybe it heals Maybe it’s real [Bridge] Don’t let me finish this Don’t let me call it done If it’s perfect then it’s lifeless If it’s lifeless then you’re gone [Breakdown] So break the tempo Bend every line Let it fall out of time I don’t want clean I don’t want closure [Final Chorus] I’m writing songs about writing songs about you And every version just turns into something untrue I hear you most when I’m almost silent But I push it through So I clip the signal and call it desire Turn all the red into something higher If I destroy it enough it might heal Might make it real [Outro] Leave it unfinished Leave it undone Maybe that
