shadows on the wall I hear the heater click on, answering a silent call The city's just a rumor, a quiet, distant sigh The only thing that's moving is the clock behind my eye Scrolling through the pictures of a day that's come and gone Trying to find the melody to a forgotten, silent song (Pre-Chorus) And in this liquid quiet, where the thoughts begin to swim I'm tracing all the outlines, of the faces growing dim The world is soft and hollow, a perfectly still sphere And for a single moment, everything is crystal clear (Chorus) And I'm floating in a shimmer pool Where the world is slow and beautiful A liquid, silent, perfect rule That mends the edges, cools the fuel That burns inside a busier day But here, the sharpness fades away (Verse 2) I can see my breath a little in the cool air of the room A ghost of conversation, dissipating into gloom The weight of all the messages I probably should return Gets lighter in the balance, as the quiet hours churn There's a solace in the solitude, a peace I can't explain A temporary pardon from the noise, the stress, the strain (Pre-Chorus) And in this liquid quiet, where the thoughts begin to swim I'm tracing all the outlines, of the faces growing dim The world is soft and hollow, a perfectly still sphere And for a single moment, everything is crystal clear (Chorus) And I'm floating in a shimmer pool Where the world is slow and beautiful A liquid, silent, perfect rule That mends the edges, cools the fuel That burns inside a busier day But here, the sharpness fades away (Bridge) No need to be... anyone. No need to run... Just be... this. A quiet, blissful, abyss. (Final Chorus) And I'm floating in a shimmer pool Where the world is slow and beautiful A liquid, silent, perfect rule That mends the edges, cools the fuel That burns inside a busier day But here, the sharpness fades away
