timeglass
Soft, emotional acoustic ballad with a raw, heartfelt performance. Male vocal clear, gentle, and intimate — no autotune, minimal compression, close-mic’d for warmth and breath detail. Instrumentation stripped to finger-picked acoustic guitar and light piano accents; occasional ambient pads or subtle strings for depth. BPM around 78–82. Flow natural and rhythmic, like a live room take — conversational yet melodic. Let emotion guide phrasing; slight cracks and pauses add honesty. Keep production minimal and organic — soulful, human, and deeply reflective.

Lyrics
Hook / Intro
when i go, will you know?
i'm showing sides, i don't know
say you hope i'm, getting close
i may have promised you a ghost..
oh, just don't..
Chorus
don't let me go..
through this alone..
when i go..
will you notice?
will you know?
oh, will you know?
what will you, know?
Verse
4 AM, still in silence
in my mind, autopilot
through the days
i threw away
smearing letters on a page
i didn't like
i didn't write
i never write
i didn't lie
i've never written anything
try so hard to prove
i'm bulletproof
i didn't lose, i didn't lose
i gave up way before you do..
Hook
when i go, will you know?
i'm showing sides, i don't know
say you hope i'm, getting close
i may have promised you a ghost..
oh, just don't..
Chorus
don't let me go..
through this alone..
when i go..
will you notice?
will you know?
oh, will you know?
what will you, know?
Verse
it feels like rain, on my shoulder
subtle weight, folding over
how to not, precipitate
anticipate, me getting older
but there's starving, in the pauses
all this feels, much better off in
nameless coffins, tell me often
what it meant, to see me call
you wouldn't think, i'd be nostalgic
i get lost in, all the causes
hard to know, what i should part with
i'm so guarded in my garden
leaving notes in all my margins
have you ever broke your arm
just to understand how hard, it
is to carry it along?
how much longer?
are we there?
have we left?
in case you did forget
i'm still here..
Hook
when i go, will you know?
i'm showing sides, i don't know
say you hope i'm, getting close
i may have promised you a ghost..
oh, just don't..
Chorus
don't let me go..
through this alone..
when i go..
will you notice?
will you know?
oh, will you know?
what will you, know?
Bridge
there isn't flawless symphonies
my defects are my density
would you believe i won't infect
if my intentions aren't direct
will you decide for me instead?
or will that common ground we find
harmonize on thinner ice
my skeptic fears to be confined
my caution clings to every side
i don't know what, to navigate
i don't know how, to levitate
you align, in my disdain
wish you didn't see the same
but i'll cherish any bond we make
in bitterness and blame
along the way, i hope for change
but can you stay
just stay, just stay
i'll promise you one day, again
i'm always on delay, but it
won't always be this way
one day i'll be okay
just stay, just stay
can you just stay?
Hook
when i go, will you know?
i'm showing sides, i don't know
say you hope i'm, getting close
i may have promised you a ghost..
oh, just don't..
Chorus / Outro
don't let me go..
through this alone..
when i go..
just don't let go..
don't let me go
through this alone..
oh, will you know?
will you know?
what will you, know?
