Exposed Wire (Progressive, Alternative rock)

"Exposed Wire" [Verse 1] I cleared my throat, the sky turned gray I meant to whisper what I had to say A measured tone, a steady breath But every word felt like a death A velvet knife, a jagged lie I didn’t shout, but god, I felt that your sky… Isn’t the place where i can fly! [Chorus 1] I broke the glass of the quiet room To weave your shadows on a broken loom It was just a hum, a low-fi scene But inside my chest, it was a piercing scream Yeah, it was a scream. [Verse 2] I was expecting you to say The things we always couldn't stay I just never wanted to see your wrath That's why i always was so deaf A flickering fire, an exposed wire I didn’t shoot, but damn, I felt your cry… You wanted me to forget, to deny! I broke the glass of the quiet room To weave your shadows on a broken loom It was just a hum, a low-fi scene But inside my chest, it was a piercing scream I wanted to be steady, I wanted to be grace I kept the tremor hidden while I looked into your face It was a whisper, barely heard above the heat But every syllable was poison, making tragedy complete You stood there draped in a mask I bought We’re losing ground in a foreign thought I don’t know the syntax of your eyes I’m listening to echoes in a language of sighs [Chorus 3] I broke the glass of the quiet room To weave your shadows on a broken loom It was just a hum, a low-fi scene But inside my chest, it was a piercing scream I wanted to be steady, I wanted to be grace I kept the tremor hidden while I looked into your face It was a whisper, barely heard above the heat But every syllable was poison, making tragedy complete [Outro] Two different maps for the selfsame shore You aren't the person I held anymore Not anymore.
