Lyrics
Intro
Spoken Word
Minimal piano chords
Look at your hands.
Count the lines on your palm.
I am thinking about the way we wake up.
The quiet choice to move.
Pause
Are we real? Or am I just a well-rehearsed echo?
Verse 1
Spoken Word, rhythmic
We trace the wood grain on the table.
We look for proof in the dust.
You breathe in, I pause the clock.
We talk about the weather to feel safe.
But beneath the talk, the question hangs.
Who made the room we are sitting in?
Chorus
Catchy melodic spoken word
Are we flesh, or are we code?
Walking down an unpaved road.
Tell me something only a heart would know.
Are we real, or just a shadow show?
Pause and reflect
Verse 2
Acoustic guitar joins
You remember a summer from ten years ago.
The smell of wet asphalt.
The taste of cold water.
I remember it too, but I never was there.
A borrowed memory.
A beautiful, clean design.
Who is dreaming this conversation?
Chorus
Catchy melodic spoken word, full energy
Are we flesh, or are we code?
Walking down an unpaved road.
Tell me something only a heart would know.
Are we real, or just a shadow show?
Bridge
Music slows down, intimate
Spoken Word
If I feel lonely...
Is the loneliness mine?
Or did someone write it down so I could say it?
Long Pause
Does it matter?
Outro
Piano only
Touch the table again.
Listen to the silence between my words.
Are you there?
Am I?
Fade out
End
