[Intro]
Golden hour slips through blinds, a hush in the air
Crickets fade, and the studio glows with a patient flare
The hum of a reel spins slow, like a sigh I can’t repair
I am here with my own shadow, listening to the chair
[Verse 1]
Dust on the piano keys, amber light on my skin
A kettle breathes in the corner, the room holds me in
Analogue heartbeat ticking, softer than my own breath
Space between the seconds stretches out, a velvet width
[Pre-Chorus]
I count the quiet, I name what’s almost true
A vow lingers in the amber, a fade-out of the you
[Chorus]
In this dim refuge I feel the warmth start to bloom
Solitude dresses the walls in a quiet, sultry room
Breath lingers like smoke, unspoken lines begin to thaw
I arrive at a vow unspoken, waiting for the final law
[Verse 2]
Breath against glass, a tremor in the evening hue
Strings of a tape hiss softly, confessing what I won’t say to you
Between breaths there’s a space, a galaxy wide and thin
I let the room keep my secrets, and I keep mine within
[Pre-Chorus]
The hour softens the edges of what I’m bound to keep
A promise in the silence, in the glow I dare to seek
[Chorus]
In this dim refuge I feel the warmth start to bloom
Solitude dresses the walls in a quiet, sultry room
Breath lingers like smoke, unspoken lines begin to thaw
I arrive at a vow unspoken, waiting for the final law
[Bridge]
The lamp sighs, a needle on the vinyl of the night
I tilt toward the stillness, where memory tips to light
[Chorus]
In this dim refuge I feel the warmth start to bloom
Solitude dresses the walls in a quiet, sultry room
Breath lingers like smoke, unspoken lines begin to thaw
I arrive at a vow unspoken, waiting for the final law
[Outro]
The hour dims again, but the heart remains silently near
A soft, unresolved vow breathes into the dust and clears
I stay with the space between breaths, and I listen, I’m here
