[Intro] Beyond the steam my thoughts come undone and I disappear for a moment [Verse 1] In the bath when I suddenly become “nothing” I turn into not a single living creature but a precise universe made of layered parts [Verse 2] The cervical joint sets a planet called my heavy head quietly back into orbit The spinal facet joints twenty-four in sequence create a galaxy of sway along my back [Pre-Chorus] The sacroiliac joint hands the weight of my life down into my legs a nameless gatekeeper of gravity The shoulder joint is in charge of angles of freedom The elbow joint has no doubt when it bends [Chorus] I didn’t live today without thinking at all Before I could even think I was protected In the water every joint is working quietly, faithfully And just that alone made me feel as if I owned the universe [Verse 3] The wrist joint the origin of complexity a cluster of small stars that moves the world The finger joints an elite unit of delicacy By touching I confirm I exist [Pre-Chorus 2] The hip joint lights strength deep inside the bone The knee joint takes the impact without a word The ankle joint reads the uneven ground in silence the geography of the star called “today” [Bridge] (whisper) cervical… spinal… sacroiliac… shoulder… elbow… wrist… fingers… hip… knee… ankle… (whisper) booting… connecting… returning… (whisper) …me [Final Chorus] I didn’t live today without thinking at all Before I could even think I was protected In the water this precise structure is still breathing And just that alone felt like the richest kind of time [Outro] Covered in a thin membrane my outline rises Beyond the steam layer upon layer of universes still alive today
