[Verse 1] The day forgets to get dressed again Light rolls in, but never stays A teacup cools untouched, unread The ceiling paints its usual maze Stillness wraps around my spine Limbs like books I cannot find But something shifts the weighted air— A presence small, and deeply there [Pre-Chorus] Soft intruder, asking bold Curling close when the world feels cold [Chorus] Keeps watch through the ache, through the half-closed eyes Doesn’t flinch when the body lies Demands a hand, a touch, a sigh Reminds the breath to stay awhile No cure, no fix, no final goal— Just something warm that wants me whole [Verse 2] Naps like prayers in the middle of noon Claws in the blanket, heart in bloom A stare that pulls me back from fog Like incense trailing through a smog The quiet here is not alone It stretches out and makes a home With every stretch, a soft command— "You're still enough. You’re still. You stand." [Pre-Chorus] It doesn’t ask what broke or when Just needs the room to breathe again [Chorus] Keeps watch through the ache, through the half-closed eyes Doesn’t flinch when the body lies Demands a hand, a touch, a sigh Reminds the breath to stay awhile No cure, no fix, no final goal— Just something warm that wants me whole [Bridge] Daggers tucked in velvet grace A little god with no disgrace It shows its love in daily rites— The pacing steps, the need, the nights [Final Chorus – intimate, gentle] Keeps watch when the noise won’t fade Stays close when the price gets paid A rhythm that the hours miss A pulse that turns the pain to mist Not healing, maybe—something near A reason small, but sharp and clear [Outro – whispery slow] Slow hours Still power Soft claws My anchor flower
