A low signal flickers somewhere past the skyline’s glow, A broken transmission drifting through the afterglow. The night hangs heavy, humming with something I can’t trace, A voice I used to follow fading out without a trace. I’m sinking under, and the static’s getting harder to take, The all-or-nothing pressure’s got my heartbeat starting to break. I needed someone to anchor, Someone to stay, Someone to soften all the edges fading out in the gray. It’s easy pretending, But it never holds true — I guess I liked the way your shadow pulled me back from the blue. Now the light fades Into nightfall, No one to answer when I call. I let my walls down, Then you disappeared — I was getting used to being someone you revered. I’m drifting deeper and this time there’s no one guiding me home, This all-or-nothing kind of love left me sleeping alone. I needed someone to steady, Someone to feel, Someone to remind me what was fiction and real. It’s easy to say it, But it never holds true — I guess I liked the way your presence pulled me out of the gloom. Now the shadows stretch Into the neon glow, And your signal fades where I can’t follow. I opened up, Then the current broke — I was getting used to being someone you provoked. And when the hurt hits, I shut my eyes and fall through the noise, Into the echo of your arms, where I once found a choice. I thought your voice would guide me, ’Til I found my way through — But now the silence holds me tighter than you used to. The night consumes All the flickering light, And your absence whispers in the digital fight. I let my guard down, Then you slipped away — I was getting used to being someone you swayed. Now the day fades Into nightfall, And your presence is gone from it all. I let my walls down, Then the current broke — I was getting used to being someone you invoked.
