[Intro] Good night No dross to report Just the mat The floor The dark And a few hours Before the sun Half lotus Hands settle into place Nothing to solve tonight Just sit [Verse 1] It was a good night No dross to report Just sat half lotus On the mat on the floor Closed eyes Waiting for the sun through the door Mudra on the hand While I settled to the core Breathwork in the air Consciousness in the room Floating without hurry In the lingering gloom Deep through the nose Slow out the mouth Calming every nerve As the tension trickled out Nothing screaming for attention Nothing pulling me away No reason to demand That I become anything today Just another stretch of darkness Before morning starts to bloom Body sitting on the mat Consciousness filling up the room [Pre-Chorus] Focus on the fear See where it tears Walking through the maze That my own mind wears Dog by my side Holding down the space While I drifted through My own internal landscape [Chorus 1] Flesh liquefies Bones above the floor Untethered from the weight For a couple hours more Remaining fully present While my focus took flight Trading all my time For a little peace and light Only took a snap I'm not lost in the haze Just another quiet night Wandering through the maze [Verse 2] Magnets in the brain As the body fades away Thoughts stop pulling hard Nothing left to chase No frantic calculations No debt to repay Just watching every current Rise and fade away Silence in the chest Stillness in the breath Looking straight at life Instead of wrestling death The morning's getting closer I don't need to force a thing Just waiting on the daylight That the eastern sky will bring Pressure in my head That familiar push and pull Nothing that I need to name Nothing I need to control Let it press Let it fade Let it come and let it leave I don't need to understand it Just to sit here while I breathe [Pre-Chorus] Focus on the fear But don't hold it there Walk another hallway See if anything still cares Dog by my side Breathing slow within the space While another wall dissolves Inside the maze [Chorus 2] Flesh liquefies Bones above the floor Untethered from the weight I was carrying before Remaining fully present While my focus drifts through light Nothing pulling at my hands Nothing left I need to fight Only took a snap I'm not buried in the haze I'm beginning to remember I don't have to beat the maze [Verse 3] Hours passing quietly I barely notice where they went No revelation waiting No message heaven-sent Sometimes there are colors Sometimes nothing comes at all Sometimes all I hear is breathing And the house beyond the wall That's enough I don't need fireworks Every time I close my eyes Don't need my body levitating Don't need answers from the sky If the flesh feels like it's liquid Let it liquefy and flow If the bones feel like they're floating I can watch and let them go If I sit here feeling nothing Then I'll sit with nothing too Peace doesn't owe me visions Just because I followed through No finish line No prize No secret waiting at the end Just returning to the breathing Every time I drift again [Bridge] Maybe I spent too many years Thinking peace was somewhere deep Something buried underneath me Something difficult to reach Another chamber Another doorway Another fucking thing to find When sometimes all it takes Is leaving everything alone For a little time Don't grab it Don't chase it Don't squeeze it in my fist Every time I try to hold it That's the moment that it's missed So let the body disappear Let the breathing find its pace I don't have to leave the maze I can sit inside this place [Chorus 3] Flesh liquefies Bones above the floor Untethered from the need To keep demanding something more Remaining fully present While my focus moves through light Not escaping from the darkness Just not fighting it tonight Only took a snap Still aware inside the haze And maybe peace was never waiting At the ending of the maze [Break] Half lotus Heartbeat Dog breathing beside me House quiet Night thinning No need to hurry No need to arrive [Final Chorus] Flesh liquefies Bones above the floor Morning bleeding through the darkness At the edges of the door Remaining fully present As the eastern sky turns light I traded several hours For a little peace tonight Only took a snap Never disappeared into the haze I walked around inside myself Without getting lost today Flesh settles back Bones return their weight Eyes still closed I don't need to meditate On whether I meditated right Nothing conquered Nothing changed Nothing promised for tomorrow Just a little less weight For the body left to borrow [Outro] Good night No dross to report Still half lotus On the mat On the floor Dog by my side Daylight underneath the door I wasn't waiting for an answer By the end anymore One breath Then another Let the morning find its way Open my eyes Stand up And carry on with the day
