[Intro] …Don’t speak. [Verse 1] Footsteps soft but they echo loud Empty rooms still draw a crowd I move slow so I don’t break time Every breath feels… not quite mine Shadows stretch when I stand still Light bends soft to match my will You see calm—I feel the weight Of every second I hesitate I don’t shout—I disappear Say less words so I stay clear If I linger, I might fall So I don’t linger… not at all [Pre-Chorus] Don’t come close— You’ll hear too much Silence speaks When I don’t touch [Chorus] Silk collapse, thread undone Hold too tight, I come unspun You reach out—I fade away Not rejection… just delay Silk collapse, quiet break Every step a risk I take If I stay, I start to feel— And I don’t know if that’s real [Verse 2] Memories I don’t replay Still they find me anyway In the rhythm, in the floor In the things I don’t ignore I was taught to hold it in Make the stillness feel like skin So I wear it—layered thin Let you look, but not within If I dance, I almost speak If I stop, I feel too weak So I keep the motion clean Hide inside what can’t be seen [Bridge] (barely above a whisper) …If you notice Don’t say anything [Final Chorus] Silk collapse, don’t pull the thread Some things break if they’re fully said You see grace—I feel the strain Moving soft to hide the pain Silk collapse, let it be Not everything is meant to be seen If I vanish, don’t chase through— I was never meant for you [Outro] …Stay back.
