Every headline circles back

Текст песни:

[Intro]
(barely audible breathing)

[Verse 1]
There's another dent in the drywall,
My coffee's cold, news humming in the kitchen—
I shut my eyes softer than I should.
Outside, rain slides off the gutter, collecting in a line
But I'm stuck counting the cracks in the ceiling instead.

[Pre-Chorus]
I breathe out, the echo folds back in
(Tell me what changes when you look away)

[Chorus]
Every headline circles back, burnt edges on the table,
Familiar faces blurred behind the static.
I keep drifting sideways, hands pressed to my face,
Waiting for the silence to say something brave.

[Verse 2]
Last year’s calendar’s still tacked up, crossed out in black marker—
Window half-open, letting in someone's argument,
I swallow the words, damp and dull,
Balancing between the urge to shout and the choice to listen
To the hollow click of the clock, a voice rising somewhere far off.

[Pre-Chorus]
In the hum of the fridge, nothing feels urgent
(Who’s keeping score? Who’s keeping quiet now?)

[Chorus]
Every headline circles back, burnt edges on the table,
Familiar faces blurred behind the static.
I keep drifting sideways, hands pressed to my face,
Waiting for the silence to say something brave.

[Bridge]
Ooh—
All these tiny floods, slow-motion aftermath,
I let the rain in, just to taste what’s real.
Ooh—
If I shout, if I stay quiet, who really hears the spill?

[Chorus]
Every headline circles back, burnt edges on the table,
Familiar faces blurred behind the static.
I keep drifting sideways, hands pressed to my face,
Waiting for the silence to say something, say something.

[Outro]
(barely audible, whispered)
Waiting, waiting—for something brave.
