3:41

You came out of the room and you were crying

In a way that nobody could hear

I stopped kicking and screaming when you turned the lights on

You woke me up

I felt naked, I felt exposed

I felt like for the first time, I was intruding on something

You woke me up

You

Filtered out grain, filtered out static

Filtered out me

And I'm so proud of you

That presence that I've tried so hard to make known

It was there, regardless of whether or not I was

And you were showing me that

I wasn't blinded by the light, but by everything else

So let me go

Let me go and don't let go of me

Let me, let me go

And don't let go of me

And I'll do the same

I've been trying to move past the crackles and dust scratches

But that's what I am, you know?

An accidental side effect of a blank canvas

Think about that glowing dust

That destroys the night sky's dream of

Just being nothing

Beautiful, but born to be in the way

That's why all we want is peace, all we want is to stop thinking

All we want is this enlightened silence, it's in our code

That's why it's all so ironic, maybe that's the punchline?

The void... weighs on me

Only because I push away from it

It wavers with the light that follows me like a curious moon

The static that floods every room

Stacks on top of itself until it blocks out the picture

Maybe that's the perfect void that's begging me to join it

Begging me to let you go, without letting go of you

So I can make that void just a little bit brighter

For when you see it, until next time
