Well it’s almost morning but the neon keeps buzzing Clock on the wall’s a few minutes ahead of the sun The fan’s got a wobble, some crooked little rhythm Someone’s asleep on the bench, shoes barely touching the floor I’m still moving jars, labels peeling off my fingers Wrote it down twice but I don’t trust the ink The night moves slow when you stop counting minutes Those pipes overhead sound tired, like they’ve heard it all already So take it easy, take it steady Everything’s set where it lands Keep it simple, keep it ready We’ll see how it looks when we stand up again If you asked me right now I’d probably guess the day wrong I don’t know what tomorrow costs, not checking the tag I been lucky just dragging this air in and out Everything’s warm, moving like it’s underwater Some folks trade favors, some just trade insults We trade what’s left when the lights go dim It’s not a tragedy, it’s not even interesting Just how things rearrange when you aren’t looking at them So take it easy, take it steady Nothing’s asking to be fixed Keep it simple, keep it ready Let it sit the way it is Radio mumbling something I’m not following Someone laughs, I look at the wall instead There’s a scratch in the tile shaped kinda like nothing I try to count it, lose interest halfway through The pipes breathe low like they’re clearing a throat I don’t feel much about it, that’s fine Sun’s leaning sideways, or maybe that’s me I sweep it slow, forget what I meant to think [Words, Production, and Direction by Noizgenie.] [Cover Art Direction by Noizgenie. © 2026 Noizgenie.]
