Rewinding skips where words once were
The hiss between still makes me stir
Each pause a place I meant to speak
But left it blank and pressed delete
Held too long in scenes that stall
Expecting change that won't recall A voice beneath magnetic sound
Still stuck in loops that spin around
The real complains in tones too low
But I still play what I let go A pulse
that hums but won't break through
As if it waits for something true Held too long in scenes that stall
Expecting change that won't recall A voice beneath magnetic sound
Still stuck in loops that spin around
The gap between each frame I save Feels louder now than what it gave
I listen for a line I missed The silence shaped like something wished
But every splice I try to hide Returns each time I press rewind
Held too long in scenes that stall Expecting change that won't recall
A voice beneath magnetic sound Still stuck in loops that spin around
Still I wait to be unbound
