I framed the world in a smaller view
Every step was something to prove
Chasing light, chasing scenes
Trying to catch what everything means
Then my hands fell to my side
No red light, nowhere to hide
The moment breathed, soft and slow
Like it was waiting to be known
No angles left to find
Just the rhythm of my mind
When I put the camera down
The world kept spinning around
I felt the wind, I heard my name
In ways that never stayed the same
When I put the camera down
I stopped chasing perfect sounds
And in the quiet, I was found
When I put the camera down
Footsteps echo, streetlights hum
Places blur into where I’m from
No proof saved, no replay
Just a feeling I let stay
The colors don’t need to last
They’re beautiful because they pass
Every second, unrecorded
Feels more real when I ignore it
No frame to hold the truth
Just this moment moving through
When I put the camera down
The world kept spinning around
I felt the weight of being here
Not something distant, not unclear
When I put the camera down
No edits left to figure out
I let the silence make a sound
When I put the camera down
Maybe memories don’t need a screen
Maybe presence is the scene
I don’t lose what I don’t save
Some moments come and gently fade
When I put the camera down
I felt my feet against the ground
Between the blur and solid now
I learned what this was all about
When I put the camera down
No need to hold this moment tight
It stays with me, just out of sight
I put the camera down
And stayed a little longer there
