I woke beside a folding chair

No window, just electric air

Tried to ask the wall for time

But it replied in tangled chimes

Reflections looped in colored glass

Didn’t know which one would pass

Name tags slipped into the floor

And none of them felt mine no more

Ever get lost mid-thought?

We stall, we knot

I can’t tie what’s caught

mm—nn—hh—kk…

I roll—roll—roll (through the framing)

I blink—I drop—(no naming)

I lurch—(and nothing’s claiming)

My-my-my sense got split too thin

(Stay clear)

⸻

I step—step—step through noise (I twitch)

Every word just voids my voice (I blur)

I wait, I flinch (I stall)

But the signal won’t rejoice (I crack)

I talk, I slip (I shake)

And my thoughts just scatter twice (I break)

I step—step—step through noise (I drift)

While meaning rewinds in splice (I glitch)

Dral–ze–li–ka

Dral–ze–li–ka

I step–step–step through glass

Every corner bends too fast

I turn, I stop

But the path won’t match

I hum, I drop

And the tone won’t catch

I step–step–step through glass

While old names echo past

When all I had was stored in tones

And none returned when I got home

You had the pitch I never held

Your rhythm kept my noise dispelled

So if I freeze when questions land

It’s ‘cause the script is out my hand

No mark—no hint—

No pulse—just thread—

Gone

Dral–ze–li–ka

Step–step–step through glass

Everything I missed won’t pass

I—I—I—I—I break

In a loop that won’t convert

Turn—turn—

Turn away before I hurt
