Flicker Between Words

Six steps left, turn around Listening for the slightest sound

Floorboards creak, the hallway's cold Waiting for the story to unfold

Say what you came to say

Don't let it drift away

I am standing in the dark

Waiting for the match to spark

(just say it now)

Your name flashing on the screen

Worst delay I've ever seen

Breathing in,

breathing out

Pacing through the rising doubt

But I won't break

when the line goes live

I have the strength

to survive

Let the truth

fall where it may

I am ready for what you will say

(just say it) I'm ready
