Lyrics: nilo
Music: nilo
The mirror knows my face too well
But not the things I hide behind
I keep collecting empty hours
Like souvenirs I’ll never find
The room is full of half-lit ghosts
Made from plans I never kept
Every dream I used to chase
Now sleeps somewhere I forget
And I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m tired of standing still
I’m falling out of frames I built myself
Watching every version sit on the shelf
Trying to be somebody I could trust
But everything keeps turning into dust
Maybe the stars are just city lights
Maybe I’ve been wrong this whole damn time
Still I leave the door unlocked inside
In case I find a reason not to hide
The future feels like static noise
Buzzing through the walls at night
Everybody talks about tomorrow
Like they’ve already seen the light
But I’m still counting passing trains
Wondering if I missed my stop
Holding onto fading signals
Too afraid to let them drop
I’m falling out of frames I built myself
Running from a shadow nobody else felt
Every scar becomes another line
In a story I’m still learning how to write
Maybe the stars are just city lights
But they shine enough to get me through tonight
And if the morning finds me still alive
Maybe that’s a reason enough to try
