[Verse 1] Key on the hook Door clicks Dust in the sun Paint sticks Canvas leaning like an old friend Half-finished faces Waiting again Brushes in jars Colors asleep Coffee gone cold on a paint-splashed seat Clock on the wall forgot to move Every quiet corner guarding truth [Chorus] Back in the studio Where the world fades out and the ghosts lean close Back in the studio Every line I draw is a secret you don't know Back in the studio I disappear and somehow I come home [Verse 2] Hands stained red Blue Gold Story in strokes you’ll never be told Self-portrait hidden under ten new skies Whole other language living in my eyes Tape on the floor marks where I stood When I learned that chaos can be good Silence humming like a distant crowd Heart beating steady Steady Loud [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] I’ve been away too long Forgot how the colors talk Forgot how the shadows bend How the page forgives again and again [whispered vocals] Breathe in the turpentine air I’m not lost if I’m here [Chorus]
