Never Here
The silence doesn’t swallow you you walk in. And what’s waiting isn’t nothing. It’s every fragment you left behind while you were busy being somewhere else. Cracked memories. Pieces you forgot were yours.

Original poem
Where is the now? I stepped into the silence It swallowed me whole But it wasn't empty There were pieces pieces of myself Cracked memories floating by The ground pulses beneath me And i am not walking There is no ground There is no sky How long have i been disappearing? Inside my skin it's not mine anymore Inside my head Something else speaks to me I dissolve, piece by piece Fingers curl into static My arms follow and they aren't missed There's a hum beneath it all It's been here the whole time wiating for me to notice I'm noticing now Who decided that i should be who i am? Was i ever me? My thoughts are breaking apart Falling like rain Drip. Drip. Drip. But there is no sound The sun has no warmth It is only light and the light lies The trick is i was never here Never here Never here
Lyrics
[Intro Distorted whisper] Where is the now? Where is the now? [Verse 1] I stepped into the silence and it swallowed me whole Pieces of myself floating past I can't tell what's real anymore The ground is falling away but I'm still standing here How long have I been disappearing? [Chorus] Inside my skin it's not mine anymore Inside my head something else breathes I'm reaching for the switch but the signal's gone The signal's dead [Verse 2] My fingers dissolve first curling into the static Arms follow but I don't miss them Don't miss anything There's a hum beneath it all It's been here the whole time Waiting for me to notice I'm noticing now [Chorus] Inside my skin it's not mine anymore Inside my head something else breathes I'm reaching for the switch but the signal's gone The signal's dead [Bridge Building intensity] Who decided I should be this shape? Was it ever even me? The thoughts are breaking apart Falling like rain Drip. Drip. Drip. But there's no sound No sound at all [Breakdown Aggressive] The sun is just light The light is just lies I'm just the trick The trick is I was never here Never here Never here Never [Final Chorus Desperate] Inside my skin it's not mine anymore Inside my head something else breathes I'm reaching for the switch but the signal's gone The signal's dead [Outro Fragmenting, distorted] Where where Not where Not when Just Not [Hum sustains and distorts]
