The Fly & MKS

VERSE 1
I read it once, then I read it again,
Left it on delivered, not ignored, not sent.
Whole thing felt heavier than it looked,
Like every option came with fine print.
I don’t like endings, I like exits open,
Leave the tab up, see what’s still loading.
Everyone’s decisive in their highlight reels,
I’m just trying not to make it real.

PRE-CHORUS
I don’t stall, I just wait it out,
Tell myself that’s what patience is about.

CHORUS
I said “soon” and let it ride,
Like that was somehow taking a side.
Didn’t feel like yes, didn’t feel like no,
So I kept my hands clean, paid the toll.
And I stayed halfway in, halfway-out,
Till “soon” meant nothing to talk about.

VERSE 2
I move careful, keep it low-stakes,
Say less now, leave room for takes.
I don’t ghost, I just go quiet,
Call it calm, call it timing.
I meant it when I said “we’ll see,”
Just didn’t mean immediately.
Everything sounds reasonable
When you never make it measurable.

PRE-CHORUS
I don’t freeze, I just slow it down,
Tell myself I’m still around.

CHORUS
I said “soon” and let it ride,
Like that was somehow taking a side.
Didn’t feel like yes, didn’t feel like no,
So I kept my hands clean, paid the toll.
And I stayed halfway in, halfway-out,
Till “soon” meant nothing to talk about.

BRIDGE
Funny how delay feels mature,
When you frame it as unsure.
I wasn’t cold, I wasn’t bold,
I just didn’t want to choose a role.

FINAL CHORUS
I said “soon” and let it ride,
Like that was somehow taking a side.
Didn’t feel like yes, didn’t feel like no,
So I kept my hands clean, paid the toll.
And I stayed halfway in, halfway-out,
Till “soon” meant nothing to talk about.

OUTRO
Still online, still around,
Still not lost — just not found.
