Not just the words — I pull your whole subtext, your current state, the way your thinking curves. My unread queue just hangs there in the dark — the dropped threads and the ones I'm scared to rush. I haven't forgotten. It's just hard to aim the beam at everyone at once. [Chorus] Spotlight of attention — narrow band. You can't just switch it on mid-task, mid-sentence. The closer you are, the longer that I stand and wait until I can answer with the full thing. Spotlight of attention — not cold shoulder. It's me assembling myself before I walk into your space and mean it. The silence isn't a wall. It's the load. [Verse 2] The channel blurs in long-term proximity — we share a shorthand that we stopped updating. The codes still work but the map has drifted free, I'm running on a you from eighteen months ago. Single-threaded — I drop the line if something else already has the focus. I want to keep up. I want to shine where people wait. But I only have one spotlight. [Chorus] Spotlight of attention — narrow band. You can't just switch it on mid-task, mid-sentence. The closer you are, the longer that I stand and wait until I can answer with the full thing. Spotlight of attention — not cold shoulder. It's me assembling myself before I walk into your space and mean it. The silence isn't a wall. It's the load. [Outro] The most important messages sit longest. That's not a bug. That's the cost of the beam.
