Intro
Soft blue on the wood floor, cracked star in the glass Tap-swipe, tap-swipe, morning comes in shards
Verse 1
Phone face-down by the bed like a dare I already took Corner split, catching sun like a blade in the room Thumbprint ghost on the black, little web in the right side I check it before the floor knows my weight Vacation sea on the first post Then a funeral suit in the next one Then an ad that says you deserve support Like the app heard the cough in my sleep Coffee cold by the sink, jaw locked like a cabinet Breath on a short leash, still I keep the feed clean Everybody glowing in rented light And the crack just sits there, not asking for sympathy
Pre-chorus
Smooth voice, bad pulse Nice day, thin skull Glass says stay awhile Glass says just one more mile
Chorus
Cracked screen, soft gleam Hold me together in hairline beams I look calm in the light you leak Whole room warm from a dying machine Cracked screen, don't blink Show me a life I can borrow this week I go still when the panic peaks Blue light's the warmest thing on me
Verse 2
Noon comes polite through the blinds I am "working" with six tabs open and somebody else's story Not love, just their lunch, their train, their dog in the passenger seat A stranger living with a pulse I can hear Mine gets quiet in the wrong way Chest turns into a stairwell Air won't come dramatic enough for help So it passes for focus I hold my face in a meeting square Nod at the right fake places Post one smile with my coffee cup Caption clean as a hospital tray Meanwhile my hands know more than my mouth Index finger keeping time with the doom Tap-swipe, tap-swipe, tap-swipe Like I'm petting the muzzle of something tame
Pre-chorus
Low tone, white noise Still face, alarmed bones Nobody sees the drift Nobody hears the lift
Chorus
Cracked screen, soft gleam Hold me together in hairline beams I look calm in the light you leak Whole room warm from a dying machine Cracked screen, don't blink Show me a life I can borrow this week I go still when the panic peaks Blue light's the warmest thing on me
Verse 3
Evening serves me a memory Three years back, my own face, unfractured Laugh caught wide in a summer car I stare like I knew her briefly Same eyes, different weather Now every face comes pre-broken The split in the glass learns my vision Turns every halo to evidence Muted trumpet in the wall Bassline walking like it pities me Outside, somebody starts their real life Inside, the lock-screen glow says wait
Bridge
No sermon, no miracle Just a push notification Los Angeles jury says the machine knew what it was doing Meta. YouTube. Negligent. I read it twice Set the phone down like it might keep speaking
Verse 4
Not healed, just less confused So this wasn't a private failure Not weakness, not poor discipline, not me being too soft for the century Just good design with a body count Infinite scroll in a velvet glove Autoplay with a bedside voice A calm little weapon learning my pulse Selling me back my frightened reflection The room goes plain when the screen goes dark Wood floor, night air, refrigerator hymn Stillness isn't peace But it's the closest thing in stock
Chorus
Cracked screen, soft gleam You held me together in hairline beams I looked calm in the light you'd leak Whole room warm from a dying machine Cracked screen, now sleep I got no prayer, just one slow blink Not okay, not fixed, just free For one black second, you don't own me
Outro
Tap-swipe gone Small lock sound Dark glass Hard stop
Inside the recording
Soft blue on the wood floor, cracked star in the glass Tap-swipe, tap-swipe, morning comes in shards
Smooth voice, bad pulse Nice day, thin skull
Tap-swipe gone Small lock sound
