Lyrics
Intro – Spoken, softly panned L/R
you asked me to stay
but never meant it, did you?
so I stayed in your echo
just long enough to vanish
Verse 1
velvet glass / low-pass smile
you tilt your head — that angle lies
cutting truths in silent light
don’t you dare apologize
Pre-Chorus
what you see — is half-designed
(I’m only whole when misaligned)
Chorus
refract — don’t reflect me back
I’m the split you couldn’t track
sharp in the blur / soft in collapse
a color you forget to match
Verse 2
photo burn / lips unsaid
playing nice in cyan threads
you called it fate — I called it late
we edit love, then overstep
Pre-Chorus
what you missed — was not mistake
(I fade best when I unshape)
Chorus
refract — don’t reflect me back
I’m the split you couldn’t track
lines get bent when meanings crack
a shimmer made to misreact
Bridge – Glitch Spoken + Whisper Layer
trace me in the grayscale / glitch through the tone
I’m not the light you bounce off — I’m gone
Final Chorus
refract — don’t reflect me back
I’m the split you couldn’t track
never yours, just an impact
a signal lost in syntax
Outro – Spoken, dry + slightly reversed version layered underneath
if I was clear, I wouldn’t be me
cut the scene — quietly
