Lyric

Lights go out, but I still see you

Echoes hanging in the air

The train is late, the screen is cracked

Coffee cooling by my hand

Nothing special, nothing new

But somehow it feels too rare

Footsteps loop in yesterday

Like a glitch I can’t erase

Every moment that we miss

Leaves a shadow in its place

I close my eyes, you’re still there

Burned in softly, unaware

You’re my afterimage

Floating when I look away

Ordinary miracles

Fading slower than the day

In this quiet protocol

Of breathing, waking, staying sane

Even when the signal’s gone

Your light remains

Morning news, the same old words

Another version of “be strong”

Plastic smiles, borrowed time

We pretend we’re moving on

Neon hums above the street

Nothing broken, nothing wrong

But the silence feels too loud

Like it knows we don’t belong

I touch the glass, it’s still warm

From a world we left at dawn

You’re my afterimage

Floating when I look away

Ordinary miracles

Fading slower than the day

In this quiet protocol

Of breathing, waking, staying sane

Even when the signal’s gone

Your light remains

If this normal is a dream

Let me stay a little more

Loop this night indefinitely

I don’t need a cure

Hold the blur between the frames

Where your outline doesn’t break

You’re my afterimage

Soft and burning in my eyes

In a perfectly aligned

Artificial paradise

If tomorrow feels too real

If the world forgets our names

I will carry what is left

Your light remains

Lights go out, I still see you

After everything, you stay
