Falling Through The Wires
Walber Costa
Hanging from the skyline, thin as a thread
Neon flickers buzzing inside my head
People moving like they're never there
Static voices filling up the air
Concrete breathing under tired feet
Broken rhythms skipping every beat
I watch reflections I don't recognize
Blurred-out faces in the passing lights
Something's slipping through
Every time I move
Like I'm out of phase
In a crowded space
I'm falling through the wires again
Weightless in a hollow wind
Every signal fades to gray
Nothing ever seems to stay
Lift me up or let me go
I don't even want to know
If I disappear tonight
Would it even break the light?
Glass towers leaning over me
Silent giants of uncertainty
Every window holds a different ghost
Every shadow feels like something close
Echoed footsteps out of sync
Every thought dissolves before I think
I try to hold onto a name
But it vanishes before it came
Something's pulling back
Every time I act
Like I'm half erased
In a mirrored maze
I'm falling through the wires again
Drifting where I've never been
Every signal fades to gray
Nothing ever seems to stay
Lift me up or let me go
I don't even want to know
If I disappear tonight
Would it even break the light?
Let it come undone
Let me come undone
Pieces in the air
Floating everywhere
Let it come undone
I was never one
Just a passing tone
In a broken drone
Falling, falling, through
Nothing left to hold onto
Fading, fading out
In the silence, in the doubt
Falling through the wires again
