[Verse] Coffee rings on pages I can’t remember writing Fingertips trace the cracks where the light don’t reach Words like stones in a pocket, heavy and bright Trying to write myself out of this same old speech [Pre-Chorus] I’m a half-hearted prophet in a room with no exit Every line I scratch feels like I’m digging twice But the silence hums when the music’s gone And the truth keeps echoing through the wires [Chorus] I’m a dog-eared story no one’s meant to read A ghost in the margins where the meaning fades Just a name in the margins, half a thought And a heart that won’t stay still, even when I’m laid I’m a dog-eared story, don’t you know you’re mine? Frayed at the edges, still singing the same old lie [Verse] The heater coughs and the walls breathe in time My pen’s a compass lost in a storm of dust I wrote your name once, but then I erased it Now I’m whispering it back through the crumpled trust [Pre-Chorus] I’m a half-hearted prophet in a room with no exit Every line I scratch feels like I’m digging twice But the silence hums when the music’s gone And the truth keeps echoing through the wires [Chorus] I’m a dog-eared story no one’s meant to read A ghost in the margins where the meaning fades Just a name in the margins, half a thought And a heart that won’t stay still, even when I’m laid I’m a dog-eared story, don’t you know you’re mine? Frayed at the edges, still singing the same old lie [Bridge] Can you hear it? The paper’s singing low A lullaby from a room that never grows If I burn this notebook, will the fire know What I’ve been trying to say in every row? [Chorus] I’m a dog-eared story no one’s meant to read A ghost in the margins where the meaning fades Just a name in the margins, half a thought And a heart that won’t stay still, even when I’m laid I’m a dog-eared story, don’t you know you’re mine? Frayed at the edges, still singing the same old lie [Outro] I’m a dog-eared story, don’t you know you’re mine? Frayed at the edges, still singing the same old lie… Still singing the same old lie… Still singing the same old lie…
