Lyrics

I slip into this second skin
It seals at the neck
With a click I never learned to protest
They call it protection
I feel it more like containment
I walk among voices
Wrapped in this thick silence
Where every word I try to shape
Sounds like pressure against rubber
They say "speak your truth"
Like oxygen flows for free
Some of us learned to count breaths
Before learning to speak
I measure sentences
Like oxygen left on a gauge
Rationed between what I feel
And what I'm allowed to say
Two signals cross in the channel
Both claiming the right to be heard
I open my mouth, your doubt speaks louder
"Make it clear," you say
While turning down the volume
In the same breath
I learned to love
Like a diver in low supply:
Staying calm
Never too loud
Always aware of how much pressure
Your silence adds
Some call this peace
I call it negative space
A place between sounds
Where nothing survives
Unless it learns to be quiet
I press my tongue to the roof of my mouth
Like a diver equalizing pain disguised as adjustment
You look at me
As if rising is proof of life
But I've been breathing down here
Long enough to know
Not every silence
Is surrender
Sometimes the muted one
Is the only one still breathing
