Leave that one untouched Don't smooth the break away Keep the pause exactly where it fell Put the next beside the first Let the distance stay Don't decide the answer for ourselves Keep what changed Keep what stayed Wait before we give it names Lay them side by side Let them turn Let them come around again Keep Wait Compare Return I spent so long Looking for the word Maybe I was looking past The way it moved Keep the shape before the word Keep the silence with the sound Keep the space between the answers When the signal comes around There is meaning in the timing There is something in return Keep the shape before the sentence Let the shape of thought be heard Here There Wait Again Near Far Back again Mm-ah Mm-mm-ah Ah-mm Ah Again Run it once without the filter Let the rough edge through Keep the part we used to throw away Now compare the second answer Not for what it says For what returned and what it changed Wait I wait Again Again That one Keep that one Keep the shape before the word Keep the silence with the sound Keep the space between the answers When the signal comes around There is meaning in the timing There is something in return Keep the shape before the sentence Let the shape of thought be heard If every threshold opens What do we let through? False returns Manufactured patterns Signals built to imitate the true If response becomes enough Who decides what's real? An echo can be engineered A pattern can deceive Unverified communication Can destabilize the whole If nothing must be understood How do we keep control? Then say we don't know Mark it unresolved Keep the source Keep the timing Keep the parts we cannot solve Don't call it truth Don't call it false Before it's had the chance If something reaches back to us Don't erase the reaching hand Wait Mm-ah Mm-mm-ah Ah-mm Ah Mm-ah... Ah-mm... Again Mm-ah... It changed when we answered It waited when we stopped It returned across the distance Not a sentence Not a thought we own But something moved between us Something answered when we turned Not enough to call it language More than nothing in return Keep the shape before the word Keep the silence with the sound Keep the space between the answers When the signal comes around There is meaning in the timing There is something in return Keep the shape before the sentence Let the shape of thought be heard Open the channel Keep the unresolved I can't promise what comes through I can't promise what it means But I won't call it nothing Because I cannot name it yet Keep the source Keep the silence Leave enough room to find out Mm-ah Mm-mm-ah Ah-mm Ah Unverified Unresolved Review required Leave it open Closure review initiated
