After the Confession

[Verse 1] The word is gone from my mouth but it’s still in the room Your name hangs low in the air like it doesn’t know where to move No static left in my hands no screen to hide behind I said it once, I heard it twice now it’s heavier than time [Pre-Chorus] I don’t reach I don’t run I just stand where the damage was done [Chorus] After the confession the bass stays low It presses through the floor into places I don’t show I don’t take it back I don’t pretend This weight is what remains after the confession [Verse 2] The lights don’t flicker now they just burn where they are Every breath feels slower like I pulled it too far Your silence isn’t loud but it knows my name I walk around the moment like a bruise I couldn’t save [Pre-Chorus] I don’t chase I don’t deny I let the truth learn how to lie [Chorus] After the confession the bass stays low It drags my heart where only echoes go I don’t erase I don’t amend This gravity began after the confession [Bridge] I thought relief would feel like light but it settled in my chest Not a wound, not a cure just the weight of what I said [Final Chorus] After the confession no glass, no sound Just my voice pressed into the ground I don’t ask I don’t defend This is how it ends after the confession
