Capricorn - Stone With a Pulse

[Intro] The brass clock says keep going. Your heart says not like this. [Verse 1] Friends gather in clean lines around the future Some stay from love, some from habit You can tell by who lifts weight without witness You've held the structure upright so long You forgot a house is meant to be lived in [Pre-Chorus] Endurance gets brittle When joy is treated like leakage [Chorus] Stone with a pulse That's the life you're building now Stone with a pulse Strong enough to hold heat inside it Usefulness is not the only holy thing [Interlude] A half-finished sketch. Evening at the window. [Verse 2] Then something thaws A laugh at dinner, a calendar square cleared on purpose You let art sit beside the ledger You let desire eat with discipline Then duty comes back But now you know rest belongs in the blueprint [Bridge] You feared softness would loosen the bolts But a life without room to feel Turns into a monument, not a home [Final Chorus] Stone with a pulse Now the structure breathes with you Stone with a pulse The life that lasts is never built from denial alone Leave the door cracked for warmth [Outro] Even stone remembers sun.
