Lyric

White Hallway Habit

Elsha Rinot

White hallway, bare feet

Same scuff by the door

Locked rooms on both sides

We said we’d leave before

Pale light on your face

Looks tired like mine

I keep making the same turn

At the same bent line

Key in my palm

Won’t fit the lock

You lean on the wall

Like we both forgot

How to be gone

How to be free

How to stop this loop

From swallowing me

White hallway habit

We do this again

White hallway habit

We don’t let it end

Pale light, hard eyes

Same hurt, same place

White hallway habit

We can’t escape

Your coat by the chair

My shoes by the drain

Two locked rooms breathing

Through the drywall rain

The clock in the hall

Just stares and waits

We trade one bad choice

For the same old fate

Key in my palm

Won’t fit the lock

You lean on the wall

Like we both forgot

How to be gone

How to be free

How to stop this loop

From swallowing me

White hallway habit

We do this again

White hallway habit

We don’t let it end

Pale light, hard eyes

Same hurt, same place

White hallway habit

We can’t escape

You said, “Not tonight”

I said, “Not again”

But the door stayed shut

And the floor held our names

Cold paint, thin air

Nothing changes here

We stay where we’re stuck

Till it disappears

White hallway habit

We do this again

White hallway habit

We don’t let it end

Pale light, hard eyes

Same hurt, same place

White hallway habit

We can’t escape
