say it.
ta-ta—
hm.
lost it?
Ta-ta-tongue tied.
Sta-sta-static.
Say my name once—
then you go blank.
Blue light low on the side of your face,
you had a line, then it fell out of place.
Lips part slow like you know what to do,
but the room goes quiet when I look at you.
My name sits sweet on the tip of your tongue,
one little syllable, almost sung.
No kiss, no touch, no alibi—
just a soft little buzz when I pass by.
You try to speak,
but your breath goes thin.
Your mouth gets close,
then the noise comes in.
Don’t blame the room,
don’t blame the sound.
You had the words—
then they cut out.
Static, static—
ta-ta-tongue tied.
My name in your mouth,
but it won’t come out right.
Sta-sta-static—
under your skin.
Say my name once,
then it glitches again.
You try to play cool,
but your lips go wrong.
One little word,
then the signal’s gone.
ta-ta-tongue tied
sta-sta-static
cut-cut out
go blank like that
ta-ta-tongue tied
sta-sta-static
lips move, slip
bring it right back
Phone face down, but the screen still glows,
typing three dots like your body knows.
You clear your throat, then you lose the thread,
hot little hush sitting under your breath.
You almost had it, cute confession,
one word short of an obsession.
No proof, no text, no clean reply—
just white noise blooming in your eyes.
Your mouth had plans.
Cute.
Where’d they go?
You try to speak,
but your pulse goes loud.
Your lips get brave,
then the signal drowns.
Don’t blame the bass,
don’t blame the crowd.
You had my name—
then it cut out.
Static, static—
ta-ta-tongue tied.
My name in your mouth,
but it won’t come out right.
Sta-sta-static—
under your skin.
Say my name once,
then it glitches again.
You try to play cool,
but your lips go wrong.
One little word,
then the signal’s gone.
ta-ta-tongue tied
sta-sta-static
cut-cut out
go blank like that
ta-ta-tongue tied
sta-sta-static
lips move, slip
bring it right back
buzz-buzz—hit
tongue-click—click
cut-cut—out
can’t quit—quit
say my name
go blank
sta-sta-static
bring it back
buzz-buzz—hit
lips part—slip
say my name—
sta-sta-static
You had a sentence.
I had a look.
Funny...
your mouth quit first.
Say it now.
Static, static—
ta-ta-tongue tied.
My name in your mouth,
but it won’t come out right.
Sta-sta-static—
under your skin.
Say my name once,
then it glitches again.
You almost said it—
I watched you choke.
Not on a kiss,
just a word in your throat.
My name, my name—
too much in your mouth.
You open up—
then it cuts out.
ta-ta-tongue tied
sta-sta-static
cut-cut out

buzz-buzz—hit

you lost signal.

still nothing.
