Hush— Let the night blur the edges. Streetlight honey on the windshield glass, LA sleeping but my thoughts don’t pass. You laugh like you don’t know what you do to me, Like you don’t pull my seams with a look that sees. I’m all glitter in the rearview haze, A little too bright for the shape I play. If you hold me steady, I might come undone— So I smile like a postcard, like I’m having fun. Don’t zoom in— Don’t get close— I’m better as a ghost. But you keep staring Like you’re daring Me to be something more. Keep me in soft focus, baby, Love me like a light through lace. If you see the truth, you might break it, So don’t look too hard at my face. I’m a dream with the edges missing, I’m a kiss that you almost taste— Keep me in soft focus, baby, Before the real thing fades. Hotel carpet, glitter on my sleeve, Two names tangled up in what you believe. I practice “normal” in a bathroom mirror, But the more I try, the lines get clearer. You say, “You’re different,” like it’s something sweet, And my heart does flips in the back of my teeth. If I let you love me outside the frame, Would you still reach for me the same? Don’t zoom in— Don’t get brave— I’m not as safe as I seem. But you keep smiling Like you’re trying To wake me from a dream. Keep me in soft focus, baby, Love me like a light through lace. If you see the truth, you might break it, So don’t look too hard at my face. I’m a dream with the edges missing, I’m a kiss that you almost taste— Keep me in soft focus, baby, Before the real thing fades. I’m not asking you to lie— Just don’t ask me why I hide. Every flash feels like a fingerprint, Every compliment feels like a test. Say you want me— Say it softly— Like you’re afraid of what you’ll confess. Keep me in soft focus, baby, Let the world stay out of reach. If you name what’s underneath this, It’ll fall apart mid-speech. I’m a star from far away, I’m a rumor, I’m a prayer— Keep me in soft focus, baby… It’s safer for us there. Hush— Let the night blur the edges.
