Lyrics

New place, thin walls, one key
Phone on the table beside me
First week here, I left it all on
Every call, every ping, always on
Heart still wired like the old house rules:
Answer fast, don't be cruel
Didn't matter if it cut my night
I was my own
Perimeter light
Now it's just me and a quiet room
So I decide
What gets through
I'm setting perimeter lights
What I let in
And what stays outside
Who can call after ten
Who I don't let in again
Not revenge, not a cold "goodbye,"
Just the line where I don't
Burn my own life
If we talk at all, it's on clear lines
Under low, controlled
Perimeter lights
Your name still pops on a random day
Old thread wakes up, has something to say
I used to answer just on reflex
Let us drift back into the wreck
Now I read it twice before I touch
Ask myself, "Is this too much?"
If the answer feels like pulling scars
I leave it there
Where the old words are
You're not the enemy in this scene
I just need space
To stay clean
I'm setting perimeter lights
What I take in
What I leave to night
If you text, I don't owe "right now,"
I can wait until I've calmed down
Not a wall, not a petty stance
Just a better
Second chance
For whoever I become next time
Standing inside
These perimeter lines
I used to think real love meant
No boundary, no consent
Always on and always near
Even when we lived in fear
Now I know that staying close
Needs a gate that we both chose
If I ever let someone in again
They'll see the switch
And know what it meant
I'm keeping perimeter lights
Soft and steady
On the edges of my life
If it's safe, they stay on low
If it isn't, they don't glow
You can walk your own new street
I'll keep mine
On smaller heat
No more burning through the night—
Just enough to see
Perimeter lights
Door locked once, blinds half-drawn
I breathe slow
With the ringer off
Not afraid, not over-tight
Just finally knowing
What I guard
At night
