Unseen

Air feels crowded

Nothing moves

I’m not alone

I know the truth

Every room feels occupied

Like breath behind my eyes

Floorboards talk, the silence leans

Something here but never seen

Doors stay closed, lights stay on

Still I feel the monster when he’s gone

Patterns form, I count the space

Every step just out of phase

I’m not scared

I’m awake

I know the game

I know the shape

You can’t fight what leaves no trace

You can’t stop what hides between

Right in front of everyone

The truth remains unseen

Still breathing

No trace

They say trauma, they say stress

Say I’m reading what’s not there

Calm voices, paper hands

Smiles that say you’re not well

Proof needs sight, sight’s controlled

Truth dissolves when I’m alone

No alarms, no defense

Nothing left to convince

You can’t fight what leaves no trace

You can’t stop what hides between

Right in front of everyone

The truth remains unseen

You built the suit

You bent the truth

Roll the camera

I slit your throat

And let it read

Like you chose to fucking bleed

You can’t fight what leaves no trace

You can’t stop what hides between

Right in front of everyone

The truth remains unseen

Just what’s left

And what feels real
