Quiet Voltage

Verse 1 I walk in and the air is cool on my shoulders Low lights, warm shadows on the walls I hear the kick like a pulse in the floor Not loud, just steady, like it’s mine I take my time, no hurry face My dress moves soft when I turn I feel eyes around me, then I don’t I’m calm, I’m here, I’m good A fan somewhere brushes my skin My hair lifts a little, then falls I catch a glance across the room Not a stare, just a landing You’re not close, but you’re there And my body clocks it right away Like something shifted, but nothing moved I breathe in slow and keep walking Hook I don't say it, I just glow You catch it when I move slow Lights flicker like they know That space between us stays close No rush, no proof, just heat Bass low under my heartbeat If you look, don't look away We're speaking in the hush, okay Verse 2 I lean on the edge of a high table Cold glass in my hand, wet on my fingers The room tastes like citrus and smoke in the air Not heavy, just hanging I roll my shoulders back like nothing But I feel you shift when I do It’s small, like a chair slide, a breath Like you’re tuning in I don’t smile big, just a hint I look past you, then right through Your outline is steady in the lights Like you belong in this scene The percussion hits and I swear My ribs answer back I trace the rim of my cup once And the distance feels thinner Hook I don't say it, I just glow You catch it when I move slow Lights flicker like they know That space between us stays close No rush, no proof, just heat Bass low under my heartbeat If you look, don't look away We're speaking in the hush, okay Verse 3 I step toward the back where it’s darker A strip of light cuts across my legs People blur like soft shapes passing But you stay sharp, even far I stop near a mirror and check nothing Just watching how I stand My throat feels warm, not from words From the way the air holds I hear your laugh somewhere behind me It doesn’t reach everyone, just me I turn my head like it’s random Like I didn’t hear it You’re closer now, still not touching But the space is louder I feel it in my wrists, my knees Like my body’s waiting, relaxed Hook I don't say it, I just glow You catch it when I move slow Lights flicker like they know That space between us stays close No rush, no proof, just heat Bass low under my heartbeat If you look, don't look away We're speaking in the hush, okay Verse 4 Outside the room, the hallway’s quiet My heels click once, then softer I pause like I forgot something But I didn’t forget The bass follows through the door A distant wave in my back I feel you behind me, not near Still real, still present I don’t turn fast, I let it build A second where time stretches thin The air smells clean out here Like rain on warm ground I finally look over my shoulder Just enough to make it simple Your eyes meet mine and hold steady And my breath comes out slow Hook I don't say it, I just glow You catch it when I move slow Lights flicker like they know That space between us stays close No rush, no proof, just heat Bass low under my heartbeat If you look, don't look away We're speaking in the hush, okay I don't say it, I just glow You catch it when I move slow Lights flicker like they know That space between us stays close No rush, no proof, just heat Bass low under my heartbeat If you look, don't look away We're speaking in the hush, okay
