Lyrics

I've been practicing being nothing
Lowering my voice to a hum
If I shrink into the wallpaper
Would you notice I'm gone?
I keep my heart in airplane mode
No arrivals, no returns
Every dream feels secondhand
Like something I never earned
I don't want the pain to end
I just want it far away
Like a city seen from space
Pretty, small, and not my place
Let me go without leaving
Let me stay without being
I'm not trying to disappear
I'm just done existing here
Dim the lights, close the door
I don't feel like this form anymore
If I fade into the sound
Let it be without a sound
I learned how to smile correctly
I learned how to say "I'm fine"
But the truth lives under the surface
Where I don't have to try
I'm not broken, I'm empty
There's a difference, I swear
Broken things still want fixing
Empty things just sit there
If I stop replying back
If I loosen my grip
That's not giving up the world
That's just letting it slip
Let me go without leaving
I don't need rescuing
I'm not looking for the end
Just a softer version of being
Turn me into afterimage
A glow you almost see
If I'm gone in the morning
Let it look like peace
No sirens
No scenes
No tragedy
Just a room
Just quiet
Just relief
I won't fall
I won't fight
I'll dissolve into the night
Let me go without dying
Let me rest without trying
I don't hate being alive
I just don't feel aligned
Make me light
Make me air
Make me something not here
If I vanish into calm
Promise it won't be wrong
When you say my name someday
Let it sound like warmth, not loss
Like I stepped out of the frame
Not like something got cut off
