[Intro] Ambient organ hums under pedal steel bends. A slow pulse forms like breathing. [Verse 1] Woke up in the hum of the hourglass tide Dreams still warm, but the clock’s outside Every move’s rehearsed, every breath assigned Chasing seconds like they’ll free my mind I watch the city build its mirrored cage Reflections learning how to age Routine folds me in its skin Pretending motion equals win [Verse 2] [Keys shimmer under slow percussion] Paper crowns on kings of gray Trading dawn for a resume Faith in numbers, not in sight Screens for gods, and work for light I feel the noise beneath the tone Peace’s a secret, best left alone If I stop running, will I fall or float? Truth’s too quiet for a quote [Bridge / Instrumental Passage] [Reverb guitars drift into open air, drums fade] [Wordless female vocal hum echoes in distance] [Outro / Transition] Breathe in slow, the noise recedes The silence hums like growing seeds [Voices dissolve, synths wash into the next dream]
