Sawdust and Structure

[Intro] Whittle the doubt away with the steady grin of a hand-measured line [Verse 1] Screens glow, but my eyes crave wood and grain Dust rises like prayers I can touch again Blueprints fade, but the chisel finds its claim I measure truth in the quiet of the plane [Chorus] Let the saw sing, let the bench declare After laptops’ hum, a calmer air I feel the world take shape in my hands Sawdust settles where my heartbeat lands [Verse 2] Code becomes knots, a story carved in pine Shavings spiral down, a simple, honest sign Pliers, clamps, and patience form my plan A tangible pause where I finally stand [Chorus] Let the saw sing, let the bench declare After laptops’ hum, a calmer air I feel the world take shape in my hands Sawdust settles where my heartbeat lands [Bridge] In the grain I hear the day unwind Errors sanded smooth, a patient mind One task at a time, the rhythm holds A quiet triumph, timeless and bold [Chorus] Let the saw sing, let the bench declare After laptops’ hum, a calmer air I feel the world take shape in my hands Sawdust settles where my heartbeat lands [Outro] Finished, I lean and smile at what I’ve made The day’s soft victory in timber laid
