Hollow Pattern
Lowstate
Your voice settles in the room
Like a rule I never chose
Every answer bends a little
Every silence slowly grows
Conversations turn to pressure
Every word becomes a test
Even breathing feels like walking
Through a space inside my chest
Something shifts when you appear
Something shuts down in my head
I fall back into the pattern
Every time you draw me near
Something in the air goes rigid
Like my will just disappears
Nothing loud enough to name
Nothing easy to explain
Just the feeling that the ground
Tilts a little when you stay
Days begin to rearrange
Every thought starts to adjust
Like the version of myself
Slowly turning into dust
Every step feels out of line
Every instinct disappears
I fall back into the pattern
Every time you draw me near
Something in the air goes rigid
Like my will just disappears
Say the word
Shift the ground
Every silence pulling down
I fall back into the pattern
Every time you draw me near
Something in the air goes rigid
Like my will just disappears
