Different Timeline

Verse 1

She walked in and the walls bent inward

Ceilings dripped with colors I'd never seen

I was drowning in a puddle on the kitchen floor

She said get up so I stood clean

She rearranged the furniture inside my head

Painted over memories I thought were permanent

I woke up one morning speaking backwards

She said that's just love's new arrangement

Chorus

She bent the light around her fingers

Turned my gray skies into thread

I'd hang myself on every promise

Just to wake up in her bed again

Verse 2

Three AM and the windows were bleeding

Shadows having conversations I couldn't join

She'd whisper sugar through a clenched jaw

Then blame the basement for the broken joints

I kept the receipts from every fight we won

Stapled them to the inside of my chest

She'd trace the lines and say I'm sorry

But sorry was just her way of getting rest

Bridge

I still smell her perfume on the smoke detectors

She reprogrammed every habit that I had

And I miss the ache the way you miss a fever

When the sweating stops it drives you mad

Chorus

She bent the light around her fingers

Turned my gray skies into thread

I'd hang myself on every promise

Just to wake up in her bed again

Verse 3

Last I heard she's living in a different timeline

Where I was never born and she feels fine

But sometimes I catch her frequency on static

Two syllables of laughter through the static grime

Outro

She changed the world... she changed the world...

And left me in the one she didn't want
