Lyric

Morning noise melts slowly in my chest

Today is warm, settling down to rest

Piling up within the system, deep and still

Silence moving at its own quiet will

Convenience store lights, a path I walked alone

Through the sleepless night, into the unknown

My face on the smartphone screen, a ghost of me

Moving with a lag, a slight delay I see

Recorded reality is more precise than how I feel

Advancing to the future, making it more real

But even then, I didn't want to fade away

Searching for a reason in the light of day

Remaining here—fragments of my today

Pale waveform memories, neither truth nor a play

Even if no one notices, this voice will carry on

In the space between the real and the light of dawn

I breathed, between the worlds where I belong

A forgotten mug in the corner of the room

A half-read book, a page folded in the gloom

Daily life is quiet, chipped around the edge

Solitude is hiding on a window ledge

The future I can't touch is filled with a silent fear

Yet I have to move through the "now" that’s here

Unable to choose, I lingered in the air

While my faint breath continued, a simple prayer

Remaining here—wavering words and a tiny ache

Even if tomorrow brings a form I cannot take

Only the moment called "Now" is truly there

A faint light glowing in the cold and empty air

It stayed right here, a flickering flare

Quiet scenery sinks behind the screen

I watched it all, every part of the scene

And I knew then

I was certainly alive
