Gone for a Few Days (From My Novel DOPΔMIN)

Details

Description

[Verse 1]
She packed a bag with the quietest hands,
City lights fading over shadowed lands.
Hanna said, “I’ll just be gone for a few,”
But she knew when she left, she was leaving a view.
Lara stood strong, or so she claimed,
Holding her ground while the storm got named.
Hanna’s heart pulled double weight,
One half stayed, the other couldn’t wait.

[Pre-Chorus]
“I’d stay if I thought you’d break in my arms,
But you smile like you’ve folded away all alarms.”
Still she read the signs, still she felt the tear,
When love is near but danger’s everywhere.

[Chorus]
Hanna, walking that thin-line track,
One step forward, always looking back.
She loves the fire but she fears the flame,
She’s holding the truth but she won’t name the name.
Hanna, in the echo of the calls she missed,
Hoping she won’t be the ghost she kissed.

[Verse 2]
She saw the look in Lara’s eyes —
A thousand questions under calm disguise.
Knows that screens can pull a soul apart,
That algorithms can rewrite a heart.
But she can’t stop the wheel with her bare two hands,
Not when the game’s run by invisible brands.
So she leaves for the quiet, lets the noise die down,
Though her chest still beats to the city’s sound.

[Pre-Chorus]
“I’ll come back when the wires have cooled,
When the game’s reset, when the board’s re-ruled.”
But she dreams in code, wakes up in fright,
Feels the current hum through the dead of night.

[Chorus]
Hanna, walking that thin-line track,
One step forward, always looking back.
She loves the fire but she fears the flame,
She’s holding the truth but she won’t name the name.
Hanna, in the echo of the calls she missed,
Hoping she won’t be the ghost she kissed.

[Rap Bridge] (beat drops to a minimal pulse)
Yo, she’s the silence before the sound,
Feet on the road but her mind spins round.
Knows that love’s in a crosshair view,
Knows that the feed takes more than it’s due.
She’s got a map with no north marked in,
Just a promise she made and a pull to begin.
Hanna’s the guardrail, Hanna’s the gap,
Holding her breath till the wires collapse.
She ain’t running from Lara, she’s running to see
If distance can keep what’s meant to be free.

[Chorus]
Hanna, walking that thin-line track,
One step forward, always looking back.
She loves the fire but she fears the flame,
She’s holding the truth but she won’t name the name.
Hanna, in the echo of the calls she missed,
Hoping she won’t be the ghost she kissed.

[Outro]
When the rain runs down on a stranger’s glass,
Hanna feels the weight of the hours pass.
She’s out of the frame, but the scene’s still lit,
Lara’s face in her mind where the shadows sit.
And she swears to return, with her hands still warm,
To the girl who stands in the eye of the storm.
