[Intro] (upright bass solo, walking low, no piano, 8 bars) (piano enters: left hand ostinato, single notes only) [Verse 1] (voice low, entering over bass and piano) The shape came back this morning The same form it always makes I didn't call it here to stay It just returns and waits [Verse 2] (space between lines, let rhythm breathe) Someone out there calling patterns I'm here watching mine return Not asking where it disappears Just watching how it turns [Chorus] (soft but clear, grounded warmth) Still returning That's what it does Still in the room Still coming back Still returning Nothing explains it Just the shape and the silence Still moving through [Verse 3] (voice near speaking, accepting tone) Pattern came once… then came back A figure on the air… a shape that stacked I let the form… fall how it falls Not every pattern… has to mean all [Outro] (almost silent, barely there) Still returning now… soft and plain Same quiet figure… again and again Let the shape settle… let the loop start Still returning quietly… still.
