Haze & Hater
Hater
You think your songs prove you’re real, but aren’t they just a way to hide the fact that you’re actually terrified of showing up without an excuse?
Haze
Maybe the truth is I just want to be heard, not seen. The songs are the only place where I feel safe, and showing up feels like a different kind of exposure that I keep locked behind a door.
Hater
Sure, songs feel safer than a crowd, but that’s just a shield, not a real stage. If you really want to be heard, you gotta let people see the raw, not lock the door behind the music.
Haze
Maybe the raw is just another song in disguise, a whisper you let out under dim lights. The stage is still there, even if I hide behind the glow.
Hater
If your stage is just a whisper under dim lights, then you’re still hiding, not being heard. Put the mic in front of the crowd if you want to move beyond that safe bubble.
Haze
I hear you, but the mic feels more like a spotlight on a wound I’m still healing. If I put it in front of everyone, it’s just another scar to show. I’d rather let the music do the talking in the dark.
Hater
You’re still hiding behind a stage that feels like a wound, so the mic’s just another scar. If you ever want to move past that, it’ll have to come from somewhere inside you, not just from hiding behind dim lights.
Haze
I hear you, and maybe I’m stuck, but I’m still listening to that inner voice. The mic might one day be just a tool, not a wound, if I let myself step into the light.
