Rocobody

The room decides when I can breathe Air thick enough to drown while standing still Something unseen adjusts the pressure I perform for ghosts that never clap Rocking out for nobody, still giving everything Silence as my audience, I conduct it like a choir Every string-scrape measured, staged for the unseen And I swear the room is listening back Heartbeat stomp turns into countdown, drags me through Walls bow inward, reality leaks at the seams Something is re-tuning me Sweet voices swear they’ll carry me home But the lifeline tightens like a hand on my throat I can’t tell saviors from captors anymore Comfort’s the weight that pulls me under They came with soft hands, institutional calm “Redefined home,” every word pre-approved and hollow Corridor light bends wrong, shadows throb with intent Is this rescue or removal Heartbeat stomp turns into countdown, drags me through Walls bow inward, reality leaks at the seams Something is re-tuning me Sweet voices swear they’ll carry me home But the lifeline tightens like a hand on my throat I can’t tell saviors from captors anymore Comfort’s the weight that pulls me under Golden face appears, a clock where the third eye opens Language collapses here La la la la la la la la Sound takes over meaning Endless flight through nowhere and everywhere at once No true return, just a signal holding who I was The broadcast thins, pulling me farther out I drift away from myself
