the world is doomed and i am alone - lyrics

Plates gather in the sink,
dust curls into the corners.
The blinds are open,
yet the light slips away
as if it has somewhere better to be.

The air vibrates with the hum of machines,
a low choir no one conducts.
The walls lean forward without touching,
fingerprints bloom and vanish
like moths against glass.

Shadows fall even without witnesses.
Silence grows whether ears are near or not.
The night folds in on itself,
an unfinished gesture,
a body rehearsing the stillness of sleep.

The mailbox opens its mouth,
nothing arrives.
Floorboards speak in complaints
to a room that does not answer.
Time drips,
staining what it passes through.

Shadows fall even without witnesses.
Silence grows whether ears are near or not.
The night folds in on itself,
an unfinished gesture,
a body rehearsing the stillness of sleep.

Far above, stars burn unseen.
Their light travels too late,
searching for a place
that may not be waiting.
