Description
[Verse 1]
The kitchen light burns at three — a single bulb above the sink,
Unpaid bills spread on the table, the papers breathe and blink.
You hum the radio through plates, your back a steady tide,
You wash the world in steaming water, never once turn to my side.
I count my age like missing coins — seventeen, a thin disguise,
Scars map the shape of my afternoons in crooked, lazy lines.
I learn to quiet with the TV, learn to swallow down the sighs,
A cigarette between my fingers, nicotine that feels like lies.
[Pre-Chorus]
I try to say the tremor — my voice cracks like old paint,
But your eyes are on the sink, your world a quiet restraint.
Words fold into the laundry, into aprons and into steam,
I shout into the oven light and only hear my dreams.
[Chorus]
Can you see me? — I'm small beneath the dust,
Can you hear me? — a whisper turning into rust.
I'm trading minutes for a burn, trying not to fade,
I'm here — I'm here — unseen and unpaid.
[Verse 2]
Pills slid under my tongue like secrets I can't keep,
I ask the veins for something kind; they answer in a leap.
I hollow out a bottle label where my name should be,
Mix smoke and cheap salvation, pretend that's all I need.
You blamed my grades for every night the light stayed on,
Said I chose the cold and chaos, like I asked for this song.
But the heater died that winter and you left, towel in your hand,
You folded up your worry, left your silence where I stand.
[Pre-Chorus]
I dial your number on repeat, the phone eats up my hope,
The ringtone dies polite and flat, I learn to let it choke.
You call it recklessness; I call it how I survive,
Learning to keep breathing when I feel barely alive.
[Chorus]
Can you see me? — I'm smaller than your lists,
Can you hear me? — a wrist against the twist.
I trade the smoke for a heartbeat, but the echo stays,
I'm here — I'm here — in the corners of your days.
[Bridge — Confrontation]
Remember the night of your birthday — I dialed the number twice,
It rang twelve times into a message that said, "Can't talk, it's not the time."
You wrote a grocery list and left it by the sink like a map,
No note, no sorry, just the clink of plates and the tap.
So I asked the walls for answers, asked the alley for a hand,
I learned to bargain with a lighter and a band of trembling plans.
You said "grow up," through the doorway, like a verdict and a key,
But you never opened it; you never asked what I could be.
[Chorus — Variation]
Can you see me? — I'll say what trade could mend this space:
I'll put the pills in the drawer if you put your hand on my face.
I'll trade a cigarette for conversation, trade a bottle for one hour,
If you meet me halfway, I'll give you back what's left of power.
[Outro]
The guitar hums down to threadbare strings, the room exhales in thin lines,
I stand beneath the kitchen light and try to fold your face with mine.
I'm seventeen and I am shouting into sockets, searching for a shore,
If you listen through the static, maybe we can be something more.
I'm here — can you hear? — unseen, but sti
