Brine Guard

[Intro] Whispered doors, a shelf of jars in line A secret fizz in the brine, so fine [Verse 1] Shadows in the kitchen, I hear them near Clever little pockets of savory fear I gift a distraction, a redacted tale While the dill keeps breathing, behind a veil [Pre-Chorus] Close the fridge, turn the lights down low Spin a story fast, let the truth go [Chorus] Hey, stay curious, but stay on a leash Trust the hush of the pantry, let secrets appease Wipe the label clean, let the chorus ease Keep the brine safe till the afternoon breeze [Verse 2] A knock at the door, a spark in the air I trade a glare for a friendly dare Offer a snack, a decoy dessert While the pickle wind hums in the chorus first [Pre-Chorus] Close the fridge, turn the lights down low Spin a story fast, let the truth go [Chorus] Hey, stay curious, but stay on a leash Trust the hush of the pantry, let secrets appease Wipe the label clean, let the chorus ease Keep the brine safe till the afternoon breeze [Bridge] In the quiet, the jars align their lies Crystal brine in moonlit disguise If they ask again, I’ll smile and say Some flavors wait for their own holiday [Chorus] Hey, stay curious, but stay on a leash Trust the hush of the pantry, let secrets appease Wipe the label clean, let the chorus ease Keep the brine safe till the afternoon breeze [Outro] Secret stash, a careful art to keep Bathed in the hush of the kitchen sleep
