Dead frequency

Dead frequency

You weigh every word before it leaves your tongue

Like truth needs trimming just to make it through

I reach for something steady we could build upon

But it shifts every time I do

We used to move without resistance

Now everything feels overwritten

Dead frequency

No release no symmetry

Just you against me constantly

Every word becomes a test

Every silence second-guessed

Nothing left to let it breathe

You turn decisions into quiet games

Every outcome leaning your way

I start to lose the edge of my own name

Pulled back into the same replay

You never had to push it far

You just erased me by design

Dead frequency

No release no symmetry

Just you against me constantly

Every word becomes a test

Every silence second-guessed

Nothing left to let it breathe

There's always something I didn't see

Some unwritten rule I never knew

Every time I disagree

It circles back and points to me

If this is what it takes to keep you near

Then I don't want you here

I tried to meet you where you never were

Tried to make sense of every turn

Gave you space till I disappeared

Watched it vanish year by year

And there's nothing left to save

Dead frequency

No release no symmetry

Now it's clear what this has come to be

Every word becomes a test

Every silence second-guessed

Nothing left to let it breathe

Dead frequency

No return no remedy

No version left of you and me

Dead frequency

Nothing left to let it breathe
