letra de none of the above - maeve noiré

i walk into a room, and i’m not quite right
they talk too fast, or they speak too light
deaf friends glance, expecting me to know
hearing friends speak, moving too slow

i read lips, i guess the tone
but the in-between is all i’ve ever known
they say, “you’re lucky you can hear,”
but i catch only pieces, not always clear

i’m stretched too thin, in both worlds i stand
neither fully held, neither fully planned
they smile, they sigh, they think i’m fine
but my edgеs are jagged, i’m out of line

nonе of the above, i don’t fit in
too deaf for sound, too hearing for sin
half here, half there, i’m lost in between
a voice in the shadows, rarely seen

none of the above, if i don’t belong here or there
then where the f-ck do i belong? i swear

they teach me signs, but i miss some cues
they speak aloud, but i can’t always choose
i catch fragments, i smile through pain
every step forward feels like a chain
“oh, but you can hear!” they say with delight
like that erases my struggle or fight
“oh, but you know signs!” deaf friends imply
like that cancels the gap i can’t deny

i live in echoes, half-light, half-dark
neither fully deaf, neither fully marked
every world i enter feels borrowed, not mine
i reach for the edge and i toe the line

none of the above, i don’t fit in
too deaf for sound, too hearing for sin
half here, half there, i’m lost in between
a voice in the shadows, rarely seen

none of the above, if i don’t belong here or there
then where the f-ck do i belong? i swear

“you can hear, so why do you need me to repeat it?”
—like my struggle is invisible
“you know signs, go translate for me.”
—because i should do the work for you
“why don’t you just keep up?”
—as if catching every word is easy
“aren’t you supposed to understand everything?”
—yeah, because being caught in between is a game
i fought for words, i fought for signs
i stitched my voice through endless lines
and yet… they stare, confused, amazed
not seeing the struggle, just the display

i’m fluent in neither world, they say
but i’ve learned to survive in my own way
too deaf for sound, too hearing for still
but this in-between is mine to fill

none of the above, i don’t fit in
too deaf for sound, too hearing for sin
half here, half there, i’m lost in between
a voice in the shadows, rarely seen

none of the above, if i don’t belong here or there
then where the f-ck do i belong? i swear

too deaf for sound… too hearing for peace
no world holds me, no voice grants release
if i don’t belong here, if i don’t belong there…
then where the f-ck do i belong?
