[Verse 2]
An old man exhales, smoke curling like the dawn,  
On a bench by the chaos, but he’s already gone.  
The city walks past, but he’s anchored in his haze,  
Life’s just the shadow that time never erases.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m a silent observer, a ghost in the frame,  
But the more that I vanish, the more that I *feel* the flame…

[Chorus]
Oh, I let go to live, let the static unwind,  
Trade the noise for the whispers that hum in my mind.  
Life’s not in the grasping, it’s the weight I release—  
In the space between heartbeats, I find my own peace.

[Verse 3]
Climb where the earth cracks, sit where the ridge sighs,  
Let the wind tell its secrets in tongues of the skies.  
A river below hums a ballad so thin,  
But the mountain leans close, lets the melody in.

[Pre-Chorus]
What’s fragile is holy, what’s small holds the spark—  
The world’s never empty when you’re still in the dark.

[Bridge]
The river’s a lover, her song raw and clear,  
She carves her own path but still stays anchored here.  
And I’m just a stranger, yet somehow I know—  
We’re all someone’s shadow, and the light’s letting go…

[Outro]
So I’ll loosen my grip, let the wind take my coat,  
Life’s not in the living—it’s the note that life wrote.  
A cigarette’s ember, a laugh, a ravine…  
Sometimes to hold on, you first have to unseen.

[Verse 1] Sometimes I untie the knots, let life drift downstream, Walk in the quiet, let the world breathe through a dream. A café girl’s smile, steam rising from her pour, Life’s just a moment—the one I’m not asking for. [Verse 2] An old man exhales, smoke curling like the dawn, On a bench by the chaos, but he’s already gone. The city walks past, but he’s anchored in his haze, Life’s just the shadow that time never erases.

Life’s not in the grasping, it’s the weight I release— In the space between heartbeats, I find my own peace.
