[Intro, ambient synth pad] [Verse 1] Phone in the other room Notebook open, page is new Three things written, nothing more The morning knows what it's for Headphones on, the binaural hum Coffee warm, the screen goes numb Thirty minutes till the deep sets in Then the world outside gets thin [Chorus] Protect the block, protect the block This hour is not for sale Every yes you give away Is a no to something real Guard the morning, guard the space Let the inbox wait its turn The door is closed, the work is here This is how the good things burn [Verse 2] Sunday night, fifteen minutes Scan the week before it starts Slot the hard things in the gaps Tear the old page, fresh new marks Would you say yes if it's tomorrow? Feel the weight of that quick thought Half your days are someone else's Meetings built on things you bought [Chorus] Protect the block, protect the block This hour is not for sale Every yes you give away Is a no to something real Guard the morning, guard the space Let the inbox wait its turn The door is closed, the work is here This is how the good things burn [Bridge, whispered] It's not the meeting on its own It's the hour before you can't go deep And the hour after, rebuilding What you lost when you broke the keep [Final Chorus, building warmth] Protect the block, protect the block This hour is not for sale Every yes you give away Is a no to something real Guard the morning, guard the space Let the inbox wait its turn The door is closed, the work is here This is how the best things burn [Outro, gentle] Protect the block... The door is closed...
