I was not hurt
By what you said
The room was quiet
The answer slept
I held my breath
For something plain
A yes, a no
A shape of pain
Nothing arrived
But I got tired
Before the truth
Before the fire
Waiting does the damage
Slow and clean
No open wound
But I still bleed
Waiting does the damage
Hour by hour
The answer waits
I lose the power
I met the worst
Before it came
Gave it a face
Gave it my name
I watched the door
I watched the light
Made one more fear
Out of the night
Nothing arrived
But I went through
A hundred ends
Before the news
Waiting does the damage
Slow and clean
No open wound
But I still bleed
Waiting does the damage
Hour by hour
The answer waits
I lose the power
Tell me the line
I have to cross
Tell me the thing
I have to lose
I can take pain
If it is true
But not this room
I disappear through
Waiting does the damage
Soft and deep
No final word
But I can’t sleep
Waiting does the damage
I understand
The answer came late
The hurt began

Odria Pelt's debut album, Held for Review, is a work for those whose hearts receive the verdict before the answer arrives
Through pale synth textures, it portrays the quiet anxiety and helplessness of a life left waiting for someone else's judgment
