歌詞

I send a little light

I do not call it pain

If it reaches anyone

Let it know my name

I write the line and erase it

I leave the honest part unsent

I make the warning softer

Until it almost makes no dent

The room keeps its blue silence

My hands stay near the screen

I type the shape of needing

Then make it sound clean

I do not want to pull you under

I do not want to make it loud

So I make the warning smaller

And send it without sound

Signal from the seafloor

Too low to be a cry

Not a scream, just a pulse

Moving through the blue tonight

If it climbs through all this water

If it finds a place to land

Let it say I am still breathing

Even when I do not ask

I answer like I am steady

I let the bright words pass

I leave a little space beneath them

Where the darker meanings last

You would come if I called you

That is what makes it hard

I cannot bear the kindness

Breaking open in your arms

So I keep the signal narrow

A flicker under pressure

Not enough to be a burden

Just enough to be measured

I do not want a rescue

I do not want a crowd

I only want one person

To notice I went down

Signal from the seafloor

Too low to be a cry

Not a scream, just a pulse

Moving through the blue tonight

If it climbs through all this water

If it finds a place to land

Let it say I am still breathing

Even when I do not ask

Not a flare

Not a prayer

Just a pulse

Still there

Not a wound

Made bright

Just my name

In low light

Maybe I have learned too well

To disappear with grace

To make my fear convenient

To keep it out of place

Maybe I am tired of being

Easy to believe

When every quiet answer

Costs me air I need

I press my voice into the dark

And let the current take it

If it breaks before it rises

At least I tried to name it

I am not asking for a hand

To drag me into day

Only for the smallest sign

That someone heard the weight

I send a signal from the seafloor

Too low to be a cry

Not a scream, just a pulse

Still moving through the blue tonight

If it climbs through all this water

If it reaches any light

Let it say I am still here

Underneath the quiet

I send a signal from the seafloor

With the breath I have to spare

Not enough to call it saving

Just enough to prove I care

If no one hears it clearly

If it fades before it lands

I will send another small light

From the hollow of my hands
