Paper Door, Quiet Floor (Omori)

[Intro] [tape hiss, music box notes] (click) the needle falls and night unfolds [Verse 1] White little room with a pencil line seam Paper walls breathe like a quiet dream Counting the creaks till they match my heart Folding the silence, tucking it apart Corners of photos gone soft and warm Colors still sleeping before they form I hum to the floor till the echoes slow Place a secret in a drawer where the shadows go [Pre-Chorus] In the door crack a quiet sea calls Cut out clouds and tape them on my soles [Chorus] Push the paper door and blue becomes more I will only bring what I see when I close my eyes Outline of a broken moon, memo on the window Home is a narrow thread that never unties [Verse 2] Stairs are longer when the lights turn thin Shadows reach first and invite me in Mirrors arrive late with a different face Breathing gets folded and saved in place Pencil writes feelings no eraser can lift Static on the radio carries a drift I whisper to the hall and the hall replies In a language of dust and lullaby sighs [Bridge] (spoken) The clock is dozing, its hands in a dream (spoken) Words I cannot say turn round in my jeans [toy piano gliss] If the world were softer than I recall Maybe the fall would not hurt at all [Chorus] Push the paper door and blue becomes more I will only bring what I see when I close my eyes Outline of a broken moon, memo on the window Home is a narrow thread that never unties [Outro] [reverse swell, hallway footsteps fade] Turn off one light and fold the night neatly
