stay here

[Verse 1] the ceiling cracks don’t move, but i swear they breathe i count them like i used to count reasons to leave there’s a cup on the floor, there’s a stain on the day everything important quietly rotted away and i stay, yeah, i stay, yeah, i stay the same chair holds me like a bad decision every thought echoes but without precision i tried to name it, but the word dissolved nothing here is broken — nothing here’s resolved and i stay, yeah, i stay, yeah, i stay there’s no tragedy worth writing down just a quiet erosion, just a constant drown no sharp pain, no dramatic end just the slow disappearance of “i” and “when” and i stay, yeah, i stay, yeah, i stay [Verse 2] the mirror works, but i don’t show like a borrowed face i forgot to know hands still move, but they feel rehearsed every blessing tastes like something cursed and i stay, yeah, i stay, yeah, i stay i scroll through days like they’re not mine every memory flattened into timeline there was a spark, or maybe i lied maybe i just learned how to imitate alive and i stay, yeah, i stay, yeah, i stay no one left, but no one gone just an endless middle i’m leaning on no beginning, no release just a stretched-out version of almost peace and i stay, yeah, i stay, yeah, i stay [Bridge] if i scream, it won’t be loud just another thought i won’t allow if i leave, there’s nowhere to go emptiness is all i know [Verse 3] the clock is kind, it doesn’t rush it lets me sink, it lets me hush i used to want, i used to burn now every want forgets its turn and i stay, yeah, i stay, yeah, i stay the air is thick with things unsaid they circle slowly inside my head no sharp edges, nothing clear just the absence of why i’m here and i stay, yeah, i stay, yeah, i stay i’m not sad — it’s something less like a clean, indifferent emptiness no collapse, no visible scar just forgetting what feelings are and i stay, yeah, i stay, yeah, i stay [Outro] nothing ends and nothing starts just quiet rooms and vacant parts no last line, no final say just this — and i stay, yeah, i stay, yeah, i stay
