The line that describes you
Every line on this reel is sung on one of the records. Let it run, stop it where you like, and keep the one that lands.
Language
Now I sleep beside your absence
Like she knew my every key
The right words and the time… you finally got to me
Rain on your face, pride in your chest
I'm so quiet now, baby, so quiet now
You were the first one
Where the wild grass has grown.
I don't know your voice but I know your time
I send you down the tunnel home
You were walking back to me.
You wore my shirt the night you left
A little locked room where the truth could hide.
Maybe my silence had confessed.
I don't know your voice but I know your time
I don't know your voice but I know your time
Let the silence take the tone.
Gonna raise my own perimeter and tear you from the root
I ever wanted — just your voice
No handshake, no token, no credentials in your hand
I used to bend when your silence broke me
A place my heart already knew.
The phone in your hand — I let it smash
Let the silence take the tone.
Loved you wild, loved you jealous
Now every scar has learned my name
I used to pray that you still might know me
Gonna raise my own perimeter and tear you from the root
Somewhere between the lights, You were walking back to me.
I hated every smile you gave
I don't know your voice but I know your time
Every secret in this city walks right past me
You smiled first, then I was smiling
I locked my heart away from you
I’m learning how to live without trust.
Changed all my passwords, baby — hope you don't forget it
I thought you’d call me by the morning
She lay down in my bedroom
Gonna raise my own perimeter and tear you from the root
I used to pray that you still might know me
Like I’d hidden a storm where no one goes.
Tunnelin' through my DMs like the work is never done
I'm so quiet now, baby, so quiet now
Could be you, could be you — give yourself away this time
Your fingers in my hair.
'Cause this time when you knocked, you didn't break it down You stayed, you proved it, turned my whole world around
I'm so quiet now, baby, so quiet now
Tryna social-engineer his way into my trust
All the words you saved arrived too late
Three failed attempts and now you're blacklisted again
Just one more chance to make you mine.
Could be you, could be you — give yourself away this time
I build a sentence, you tear it down
Then she walked to my doorway
long after you're a name.
Then she walked to my doorway
’Cause losing her would hurt me just the same.
Five years later and you're back at my door
You cut the mains and watched the meaning die
I ever wanted — just your voice
Changed all my passwords, baby — hope you don't forget it
