nothing works right here doors swell shut lights flicker out I give it all, still feels half-finished like a song cut mid-chorus the people I love leave limping like I’m bad luck that rubs off so I turn cold, keep distance, wear silence like armor meanwhile my body is a clock with missing gears, ticks, stalls, ticks, stalls still, I drag forward through the static, through the rust, through the weight

nothing works right here doors swell shut lights flicker out I give it all, still feels half-finished like a song cut mid-chorus the people I love leave limping like I’m bad luck that rubs off so I turn cold, keep distance, wear silence like armor meanwhile my body is a clock with missing gears, ticks, stalls, ticks, stalls still, I drag forward through the static, through the rust, through the weight
