Paper moons in a crowded sky, I stay still while the years go by, All my friends are a blur of sound, I’m the verse that they left uncrowned. Soft applause in an empty hall, Hear my pulse in the curtain call, When I sing I can taste the space, Every rhyme is a missing place. In the gaps between the clicks I’m falling, Silver pixels in the dark keep calling, I’m so close but the touch keeps sliding through. Golden edges of my mind keep burning, Every shimmer is a world I’m learning, All this distance is the only thing I knew. Slowly, I lean into the break, Beauty in every bright mistake, If I glow only in my head, Will you follow the words I never said? In the gaps between the clicks I’m falling, Silver pixels in the dark keep calling, I’m so close but the touch keeps sliding through. Golden edges of my mind keep burning, Every shimmer is a world I’m learning, Hold this distance like a sky I’m walking through.
