Unsaid Things

indie electronic, ambient, lo-fi ballad, female vocals Lyrics: [Verse 1] The ink is dry on lines you’ll never see I trace the letters, keeping them for me It’s safer here, within the unsaid things Where silence holds the weight that distance brings I type your name then sweep the screen to white A ritual to bridge the reach of night [Chorus] These words are anchors cast in empty air A quiet proof that I am staying there I’m building bridges made of paper walls To catch the echo every time it falls It’s not for you, this heavy, hidden grace Just a way to touch a disappearing face [Verse 2] I describe the way the afternoon went dim The narrow light along the curtain’s rim The coffee cold, the book I couldn't read The tiny, jagged truths I shouldn’t need I send them into rooms that don't exist To feel the sting of what I might have missed [Chorus] These words are anchors cast in empty air A quiet proof that I am staying there I’m building bridges made of paper walls To catch the echo every time it falls It’s not for you, this heavy, hidden grace Just a way to touch a disappearing face [Bridge] The clock is steady, mechanical and slow I have so many places left to go But I stay folded in the draft I’ll never send Finding beginnings in a certain end No one is listening, and that’s the mercy of it To keep the flame and never have to prove it [Outro] Backspace, delete The rhythm of retreat Another line I’ll keep While the city goes to sleep Just to feel you near Before I disappear (Unsent) (Still here)
