I must confess to a fond appreciation for the (self-described in one of her ‘shorts’) ‘deeply inappropriate’ guitar work 🙂, from which there is thankfully no sanctuary to be found! From one who feels themselves a mere noodler at the shop stool, the discontinuous yet satisfyingly incongruous expression displayed herein, is a pleasure to behold.

🖤 The Miracle Syndicate — “Us (Did We Happen?)”

[Verse 1]
Found your name, scratched in static.
Polaroid eyes, blurred but magic.
You were there,
In the place I never told them about.
With my voice
Buried deep in your mouth.

[Chorus]
Tell me—did we happen?
Or was I a scene you forgot?
We built a song out of silence,
And burned it where memory rots.

[Pre-Chorus]
This is the part where we fade
(But we don’t).
This is the dream we replayed
(When we won’t).
You were the truth I invented,
With hands that were shaking.
We were the ache
Worth faking.

[Verse 2]
I kept your voice in a drawer near the bed,
Wrapped in the night where nothing got said.
You left me notes
I could never decode—
Typed in black words
Only silence knows.

[Chorus]
Tell me—did we happen?
Or was I a scene you forgot?
We built a song out of silence,
And burned it where memory rots.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
This is the part where we break
(But we don’t).
This is the wound we remake
(When we won’t).
You were the line I repeated
’Til the tape wore down.
We were the noise
That we’d take and drowned.

[Bridge]
This is the part where I wait—
(But you don’t).
This is the ache I create
(When we won’t).
You were the line I repeated
When the world dropped sound.
I still hear your voice
Where my memory drowned.

[Outro]
Tell me—did we happen?
