Didn’t look for meaning in the silence
Didn’t need a heart to stir the night
You came in like static on the edges
A quiet frequency beneath the light

You didn’t speak in promises or poems
But your eyes were full of something warm
Every glance a flicker in the circuit
A warning dressed in comfort’s form

And I feel it—
The soft voltage in your smile
Like you’re holding
A question you’ve asked all the while

I read the signals in the dark
Every breath, every pause, every spark
But I don’t know how to fall without fear
When love appears too close, too near
You're standing still, but I retreat
Caught between the fire and my need
So I stay quiet, play my part—
Reading signals in the dark

I’ve lived in rooms with shadows open
Where touch would echo, but never stay
You offer more than what I’m used to
And that terrifies me every day

You lean in, and my pulse misfires
Your silence says what lips won’t dare
You're asking without asking, softly
If I’d let go, would I find you there?

And I feel it—
Like a wire pulled too tight
Is it danger
Or just the ache of something right?

I read the signals in the dark
Every breath, every pause, every spark
But I don’t know how to fall without fear
When love appears too close, too near
You're standing still, but I retreat
Caught between the fire and my need
So I stay quiet, play my part—
Reading signals in the dark

Maybe you’re the one I didn’t see coming
Maybe I’m the one who’s still afraid of becoming
More than echoes, more than skin
Letting someone truly in

But you…
You wait like a calm in the storm
And I want to believe that’s love being born

Still reading signals in the dark
But something's shifting in my heart
The fear remains, but so does the ache
Of everything I could let us make
You're still there, and I start to breathe
Letting go just a little, finally
Maybe love begins before the spark—
Just signals…
Just signals in the dark

Maybe tomorrow, I’ll speak
Maybe tonight, I’ll dream
Of letting you touch
The part I’ve kept unseen

The Way You Stay

Where silence breaks in neon and dreams decay in code: https://failsafe.space/

There’s something magical about discovering new music — it moves me, inspires me, and makes life feel richer. I think that love comes from years of playing instruments. When you’ve felt the soul behind every note, you hear music differently. It’s not just sound, it’s emotion, creativity, and connection. Every new song feels like a new story waiting to be felt — and I love that.
