[Intro – soft filtered vocals, distant, minimal synth pulse] I wake up late inside the glow of something I was meant to know It hums beneath the floorboards still a quiet voltage without will [Verse 1 – beat enters gently] My shoes are lined beside the door like they’ve been waiting years or more The street outside breathes silver air but I stay folded in my chair [Pre-Chorus – rising synth pad, anticipation] I see it flicker through the glass a life that almost lets me pass [Chorus – full beat, melodic hook, layered vocals] It’s out of frame but close enough to name A brighter shape that never seems to stay I reach again through static and delay It almost holds then pulls away [Instrumental Hook – synth lead, vocal chops from “out of frame”] [Verse 2 – slightly stronger beat, forward motion] I drift through hours like borrowed light not wrong, not strong, not quite alive I map the ceiling constellations of every small procrastination The days collect like empty jars I swear I filled them once with stars Now dust remembers what I knew before the current never grew [Pre-Chorus – filtered drums, tension] I feel it breathing near my skin but I don’t know how to begin [Chorus – bigger, wider, layered harmonies] It’s out of frame but close enough to name A brighter shape that never seems to stay I reach again through static and delay It almost holds then pulls away [Bridge – minimal beat, vocoder layers, hypnotic repetition] Somewhere I am already there Somewhere I moved without despair Somewhere I didn’t disappear Somewhere I stayed Somewhere the signal isn’t weak Somewhere the future doesn’t leak Somewhere the version that I seek has learned to stay [Build – drums return gradually, synth arpeggio rising] [Final Chorus – full emotional peak, layered vocals, sustained notes] It’s out of frame but closer every day A brighter shape I almost generate I reach again through static and delay It almost holds It almost stays It almost stays It almost stays It almost stays [Outro – instrumental fade, vocal echoes repeating “almost stays”]
