Lyrics
There's no place left to stand
I'm learning to vanish
They pluck their insults like rotting fruit
Throwing lines in circles, cold and acute
Each smirk a thread in a strangling net
No punchline lands without regret
I shrink between their careless noise
Crushed beneath their sharpened poise
Trying to laugh, my throat ran dry
Bit my tongue till the words turned shy
I am mute among men, unheard, unseen
Cracks in the paint, split wide and clean
Don't call it teasing, it leaves a bruise
You never asked what I might lose
Sideways glances, crooked tone
A thousand rooms and still alone
Their voices crowd like metal scraping
Each breath feels borrowed, barely escaping
I walked backwards into the noise
Built walls from discarded voice
If I dissolve right here, right now
Would it even crease your brow
I am mute among men, unheard, unseen
Cracks in the paint, split wide and clean
It's not just words, it's where they land
You burn my name into your brand
I'm the absence you created
Just another ghost paraded
I am mute among men, forgotten and thin
Folding my edges to fit back in
You sharpen your joy on someone's skin
And never wonder what it's wearing thin
Don't look for me in the noise you made
I buried my name in the sound you played
