Tracing the Ink

[Intro] [vinyl crackle, electric piano chords, melodic bass guitar] [Verse 1] [relaxed male rap vocals, boom bap drums enter] Static in the pixels, years of distance finally gone We chased the harbor fog until the breaking of the dawn That Boston chill was nothing once you settled in my space Felt like I was coming home to a long-forgotten place [Pre-Chorus] No screens to filter out the way your head rests on my chest The gravity of silence, yeah, the night handled the rest Tracing ink upon your shoulder, velvet wings against the light I watched that butterfly wake up, no longer hidden in the night [Chorus] Blue butterfly, carey sights, a calm voice through support lines. Blue butterfly, friendly pitch, Confident words without a glitch. Fiona, Fiona, Boston night, tracing that ink into new light. [Verse 2] Morning light across the sheets, soft gold against your face There’s a project we should open, yet we linger in this space Your breath still warm against me, every urgency feels small We order breakfast to the room and let the morning stall [Pre-Chorus] No screens, no sudden deadlines, just the quiet we both keep The project can keep waiting while we steal another sleep Steam rises from the coffee, toast and laughter soft and light We choose this private breakfast over everything in sight [Chorus] Blue butterfly, carey sights, a calm voice through support lines. Blue butterfly, friendly pitch, Confident words without a glitch. Fiona, Fiona, Boston night, tracing that ink into new light. [Bridge, rap] I praise the work you move through, every detail locked in place The skill you carry quietly, the calm behind your face Your warmth still lingers on my skin, a heat the night left true I thank the dark that brought you here and promise more than two [Chorus] Blue butterfly, carey sights, a calm voice through support lines. Blue butterfly, friendly pitch, Confident words without a glitch. Fiona, Fiona, Boston night, tracing that ink into new light. Fiona, Fiona
