Two Voices, One Room

Lyric:

Two Voices, One Room

[intro: static thought]
The room inhales
I forget which thought was first

[verse 1: outer voice]
I’m okay
Just drifting a bit
The night is longer
than I expected

[verse 1: inner voice]
Time folds
around the way you said my name
Not loud
Just tilted
Like the floor moved without asking

[pre-chorus: perception shift]
I watch myself
thinking about thinking
Each thought leaves a shadow
that thinks it’s real

[chorus: loop]
It keeps happening
It keeps happening
Not the moment
The echo of it

[verse 2: blurred voice]
I answer questions
before they’re asked
I feel relief
before the relief arrives

[verse 2: inner spiral]
Your silence grows texture
Soft at first
Then detailed
Like something I could step into
and never reach the other side

[bridge: dissolution]
Who said this
Who thought that
The voice sounds like mine
but arrives late

[chorus: warped repetition]
It keeps happening
slower now
wider
like I’m inside the delay

[outro: residue]
Morning will explain nothing
But it will still arrive
And I will accept it
as proof of continuity
