My mouth stays shut
But the body recites
Small electric prayers
Underneath the quiet
Words die early
Signals keep speaking
I hear it under my skin
A litany I cannot end
I swallow the sound
It starts again
My hands know lines
I never wrote down
Every little tremor
Says it out loud
No voice needed
The nerves keep counting
I hear it under my skin
A litany I cannot end
I swallow the sound
It starts again
Do not ask me
What I meant
Ask the wire
Where it bent
I hear it under my skin
A litany I cannot end
I swallow the sound
It starts again
It starts again
It starts again

Pulse Learns Silence
Dovren Hales
Dovren Hales' second album, Threnody in the Pulse, is a dark pop record about the mourning that remains inside the body after escape
The pressure of notifications, expectations, watchful eyes, and the past has quieted, but a low elegy still moves through the pulse
Built on heavy sub-bass, intimate low-mid male vocals, and sparse unsettling production, the album captures emotions that never became a scream, repeating quietly beneath the skin
