[Intro]
Soft hum of clocks and kettle steam
A familiar beat, a steady dream
[Verse 1]
Wake to the same shirt on the same chair
Safer than secrets we never share
Coffee pours like a gentle lie
Dimming the ache we hide from the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
If I whisper truth, would the quiet break?
So I breathe in routine, pretend I’m awake
[Chorus]
In the ordinary, I find a warm shield
A soft, steady chorus that won’t unreveal
Boutique of comforts, I keep them near
Yearning speaks softly but never clear
[Verse 2]
The clock keeps talking in measured thirds
The door sighs shut on admitted words
Dust motes dance like a cautious choir
While my heart hums with a muted fire
[Pre-Chorus]
If I whisper truth, would the quiet break?
So I breathe in routine, pretend I’m awake
[Chorus]
In the ordinary, I find a warm shield
A soft, steady chorus that won’t unreveal
Boutique of comforts, I keep them near
Yearning speaks softly but never clear
[Bridge]
Under the surface, a quiet river flows
Wishes drift by like letters I never send
Maybe someday I’ll dig through these rows
But for now, the safe notes hold the end
[Chorus]
In the ordinary, I find a warm shield
A soft, steady chorus that won’t unreveal
Boutique of comforts, I keep them near
Yearning speaks softly but never clear
[Outro]
So I hum along to the clock’s old tune
Waiting for courage to bloom in the room
