The room goes on (Chapter 3)
[Start] [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Same room, same air, same light on the wall The shadows land, but shift in what they recall Things are placed where they were before But they donβt sit the same anymore [Verse 2] I walk through it, no sound at all My steps donβt echo where they fall The air feels still, then moves again Like it forgot what it was then [Pre-Chorus] Nothing stops, nothing starts It only shifts in small parts No reason I can point to find Just something changing in the line [Chorus] The room goes on without a break The light, the floor, the small awake I stand, I sit, I move, I wait The same space in a different state I look at things, they look the same But not the same as what I came And nothing says what it became It only changes, keeps the frame [Verse 3] A mark where there was nothing there A trace that wasnβt in the air A space that wasnβt there before Now sitting quietly on the floor [Verse 4] I look down once, then look away No need to check, no need to stay My hands just rest, then start again On nothing in particular then [Pre-Chorus] Nothing stops, nothing starts It only shifts in small parts No reason I can point to find Just something changing in the line [Chorus] The room goes on without a break The light, the floor, the small awake I stand, I sit, I move, I wait The same space in a different state I look at things, they look the same But not the same as what I came And nothing says what it became It only changes, keeps the frame [Bridge] No line appears to mark the change No sound, no break, no rearrange It stays as it is, then it turns Without a place where anything burns [Final Chorus] The room is here, it stays the same But nothing sits inside its name I move through it, through it, past And nothing holds me long or fast It looks like it did yesterday But not the way it stays that way And I remain without reply Inside a space that passes by [Instrumental Outro] [End]
