Whole or Legible

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I say the right words first Before the feeling lands I wear the shape of change Like someone else's hands My face gets easier To place inside a frame And every small good thing Starts learning my name [Pre-Chorus] I watch it from the side Like I’m becoming read The mirror wants a story Before the skin has bled [Chorus] Whole or legible Whole or legible I can’t tell now Whole or legible Whole or legible What am I for now? [Verse 2] I scroll my own repair Like it’s a borrowed light A thousand little proofs For strangers in the night The app says I am seen The screen says I am clear But under all that language I can’t find where I am here [Pre-Chorus] I learn the perfect posture For a wound that still feels new The caption fits so neatly Till it starts to fit me too [Chorus] Whole or legible Whole or legible I can’t tell now Whole or legible Whole or legible What am I for now? [Bridge] Maybe I’m not broken Maybe I’m just trained To turn every soft discovery Into something named Maybe healing’s quiet Before it learns to shine Before it gets a shape Before it looks like mine [Chorus] Whole or legible Whole or legible I can’t tell now Whole or legible Whole or legible What am I for now? [Outro] If I go slow enough If I stop performing Maybe there’s a self Arriving underneath Whole or legible Whole or legible Let me disappear in peace
