Attic Whispers

[Intro] Dust motes drift like tiny bright stars A creak of wood behind the old guitar case [Verse 1] I lift the latch and time slips through the cracks A attic door sighs wide, revealing yesterday’s tracks Shellac and velvet, secrets tucked in corners Whispers wake, as if a chorus waited for me to arrive [Pre-Chorus] Heartbeat to a dusty rhythm, footsteps soft and slow Every crate a memory, every string a glow [Chorus] Unlock the attic, let the air feel new Old melodies wake up, secrets sing to you Wonder in the cobwebs, stories in the dust Discoveries fluttering like paper in gusts [Verse 2] A piano bench angles toward a sunbeam’s kiss A violin case hums softly of a long-ago wish I brush off the years, each note a tiny spark Dust to dawn, I chase the echoes through the dark [Pre-Chorus] Breath between the chords, a gentle, hopeful spark The attic breathes with me, igniting every mark [Chorus] Unlock the attic, let the air feel new Old melodies wake up, secrets sing to you Wonder in the cobwebs, stories in the dust Discoveries fluttering like paper in gusts [Bridge] If walls could talk, they’d tell me who I am A map of yesterday in a single, glimmering span [Chorus] Unlock the attic, let the air feel new Old melodies wake up, secrets sing to you Wonder in the cobwebs, stories in the dust Discoveries fluttering like paper in gusts [Outro] I close the latch with a grateful smile Carrying the whispers home, a treasure for a while
