If I Dissolve

Been wide awake for seven days

My shadow's slipping out of phase

I smile so no one asks what's wrong

Then cry in places I don't belong

If I dissolve will you see me clearer

If I fade out will you draw me nearer

You only watch when I'm not whole

You only care when I let go

I wear the quiet like perfume

Float room to room erase the bloom

But silence doesn't keep me safe

It just rewinds what I can't face

If I dissolve, will you see me clearer

If I fade out, will you draw me nearer

I'm only loud when I break apart

I'm only heard when I lose heart

Don't wait for the wreckage to show

Don't praise me once I let go

Say my name while I'm still near

Don't let me vanish to be clear

If I dissolve, will you see me clearer

Don't wait for the ghost to feel me dear

I'm not a whisper you only chase

Love me here before I'm erased
