Lyrics

[Intro] (faint static, a single bass pulse repeats, then glitch percussion stutters in)

[Verse 1] (breathy, monotone, words half-spoken)
Cold surface holds the heat of my palm  
Recording clicks—a breath left behind  
Basement water laps the wall  
Moss drifts where no light falls  

[Chorus] (warm bass swells, glitch cuts tighten, voice slightly louder but numb)
I am not here to feel this slow decay  
Just a loop on an old tape, fading grey  
Moss drift, moss drift  
Let the water take the rift  

[Verse 2] (distant, as if from another room)
My tongue left a trace on the glass  
Fingerprints fog, then pass  
Pipes exhale a hollow sound  
Nothing moves, nothing found  

[Bridge] (bass drops out, only glitching hi-hat and one electric guitar note, whispered)
And if the station ever finds my name  
Scrub it off the wall—it’s all the same  
Breath is just a sound in a silent room  
Moss will grow, heavy with the gloom  

[Chorus] (full return: bass pulse, glitch cuts, voice numb but present)
I am not here to feel this slow decay  
Just a loop on an old tape, fading grey  
Moss drift, moss drift  
Let the water take the rift  

[Outro] (instrumental: bass pulse slows, glitch decays into silence, a single recorded breath plays once, then cut)
