[Verse] Heel taps on the granite Sky turns a deep mauve The day is a spent match Ready for a new strike (A new strike) I button the wool tight The air has a sharp edge A crisp trade for the heat Checking the time by the color Of the high roof line
[Verse] I walk with a loose grace I walk with a steady beat I walk with a fresh plan The avenue opens up wide A clean slate for the leather shoes Watch the brass of the sunset Pushed through the clouds like a horn A big sound in the silence No weight in the pockets Just the keys and the rhythm (Just the rhythm)
[Bridge] The sun is a heavy coin Falling through a slot in the street Paying the toll for the night Tall windows catch the orange Before the deep blue takes hold (Before the blue) It is a simple shift A gear turning in the sky A quiet way to begin again
[Verse] Shoulders back in the coat The stride is a long run Today was a rehearsal Tomorrow is the real set I am catching the movement Just catching the movement (The movement) The pavement is a drum And the beat is wide open Wide open and new
[Outro] Mauve and violet (Mauve and violet) The new stride Button it up (Button it up) Ready for the turn The big turn (The turn) Everything is possible Right now (Right now)

The Sweet Current
Lyrics
[Intro] (Mmm) (Mmm)
[The Head] The river flows The river is time Soft lamps outside The path is clear Peace is here Peace is here
[Verse] One lamp stays Two lamps stay They watch the water The water of the hour It moves so slow It moves for us (It moves for us) Everything is now Everything is well
[Chorus] Now is all (Now is all) Now is all (Now is all) The sweet current The sweet river (Now is all)
[Recapitulation] The river flows The river is time Soft lamps outside The path is clear Peace is here Peace is here
[Outro] Time is a gift The river is wide (Now is all) (Now is all) Steady light Steady heart Peace Peace Peace
The Long Stroll
Lyrics
[Intro] (Mmm) (Yeah)
[Verse] Turn the lapel up high Pavement is slick under my boots Drifting through the damp gray Listening to the city breathe out No hurry to find the door Just the pull of the next block And the certain tilt of the horizon
[Verse] I carry a quiet weight in my palm Not heavy, just enough to feel A small pilot light burning steady Tucked away where the wind cannot bite It is a heavy heat for a cold season Keeping the chill from settling deep The road stretches out like a ribbon Unwinding toward a morning I cannot see yet
[Bridge] The night is a wide open room (So wide) No walls to stop the momentum (Keep moving) I am catching a draft heading north Riding the crest of a calm thought The stars do not need to explain (No they don't) They just hang there looking satisfied
[Verse] Everything is falling into place Like a well-timed chord change I am stepping light into the dark Knowing exactly where the landing is I will keep this rhythm locked in tight Watching my breath turn into clouds Moving toward the break of day Just the breeze and the beat and me
[Outro] Just a steady stroll (Steady now) Into the blue before the sun (So blue) Keeping that fire tucked away Safe and sound (Safe and sound) Yeah (Mmm)
The Lingering Impression
Lyrics
[Intro] (Ooh, so warm) (Stay right here)
[Verse 1] The rain is drumming softly against the window glass I am sitting here in the center of this quiet room There is no reason to disturb the peace of the evening Because I can still feel the weight of your palm It is a steady pressure that remains against my skin A gentle miracle that does not seem to fade away
[Chorus] I do not need to reach out to find you tonight Your hand is still resting perfectly inside of mine (Right here in my hand) It is a warmth that lingers long after you leave A sanctuary I carry wherever I go I will let you sleep while I hold onto this feeling (Hold onto the feeling)
[Verse 2] The way your fingers used to lace between my own Created a pattern that I can still trace in the dark I remember the specific rhythm of your pulse Moving against the sensitive surface of my wrist It is an impression more vivid than a photograph Etched into the very way that I move through the day
[Chorus] I do not need to reach out to find you tonight Your hand is still resting perfectly inside of mine (Right here in my hand) It is a warmth that lingers long after you leave A sanctuary I carry wherever I go I will let you sleep while I hold onto this feeling
[Bridge] There is a dignity in this chosen silence A devotion that does not require a single word I am cradling the memory of your touch And it provides every comfort that I require (Every comfort I need) (More than enough)
[Chorus] I do not need to reach out to find you tonight Your hand is still resting perfectly inside of mine (In the palm of my hand) It is a warmth that lingers long after you leave A sanctuary I carry wherever I go I will let you sleep while I hold onto this feeling
[Outro] I can feel you here (Still feel you) Such a tender impression I am satisfied with the memory (So satisfied) Rest well, my darling (Rest well) I have everything I need right here (Right here) (Ooh, in my hand)
The Audible Void
Lyrics
[Intro] (Check the frequency) (Kill the visibility) (Now listen)
[Verse 1] Palms press the plastic plate and the current breaks Visual weight evaporates as the iris dilates wide Total absence is a luxury I manufacture at will No more optical clutter fighting for my focus The heavy velvet of the dark occupies the corner Now the radiator hiss sounds like a distant choir My breath is a metronome counting every second The floorboards groan under the pressure of stillness I am the architect of this specific silence Intellect sharpens when the retinas go dormant I hear the frequency of the building breathing Tracing the copper pipes through the thick plaster The neighbor upstairs drops a heavy coin It resonates like a temple bell in my chest This is the laboratory of the inner ear The sonic landscape is finally topographical
[Chorus] (Eyes closed tight) (Ears open wide) (Time starts to bend) (Inside the sound)
[Verse 2] Linear time is a myth invented by the sighted In this black box minutes expand into decades Ideas don't arrive they emerge from the texture Vibrations climb the spine like a ladder of logic I capture the cadence of the ticking watch Translating the mechanical into the metaphysical The void isn't empty it is crowded with data Every friction point tells a different narrative Language flows easier without the distraction Of furniture and dust and the movement of dust I am harvesting rhythms from the quietude Turning the absence of light into a heavy harvest The mind is a radar dish scanning for signals Decoding the mathematics of the silent room Original thought is a byproduct of the isolation Refining the craft in the absolute zero of sight
[Outro] (Let it ring) (Pure audio) (The sound is all) (Stay in the dark) (Total focus) (No distractions) (Listen) (Listen)
The Silent Sanctuary
Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1] The street remains a frantic storm Beyond the heavy wooden door I leave the restless world behind To find the anchor for my heart I lay my armor on the floor And breathe the air of this retreat
[Verse 2] The silence is a gentle gift No longer chasing after hours I see the light within your eyes A harbor in the deep of night A place where I can finally rest And let the noise of duty die
[Chorus] Resting in this quiet grace Every burden starts to fade In the circle of your love Time is standing still for us (Standing still) I surrender all I am To the safety of your touch
[Verse 3] We do not need a single word To fill this blank space between The fragrance of the falling rain Softly meets your skin so fair Your heartbeat is the only sound That matters in this temple now
[Chorus] Resting in this quiet grace Every burden starts to fade In the circle of your love Time is standing still for us (Standing still) I surrender all I am To the safety of your touch
[Bridge] Let the world continue turning Let the seasons hurry past As long as I can find this moment I will have everything I need The only truth I ever knew Is right here in this soft embrace
[Chorus] Resting in this quiet grace Every burden starts to fade In the circle of your love Time is standing still for us (Standing still) I surrender all I am To the safety of your touch
[Outro] Here with you (Only you) In the blank space Peace at last (Peace at last) Safe in your arms
Everything Fits
Lyrics
[Intro] (Mmm-mm)
[Verse] The pavement feels different tonight Every step has a certain weight to it The kind that says I’m exactly where I should be The street lamps are watching the houses sleep And I’m just walking, thinking about how you stay
[Verse] It’s not the fireworks we used to talk about Those things burn out before the party’s over This is the steady heat of a fireplace A slow burn that keeps the chill off the glass You’ve become the background music of my life
[Bridge] Remember when we used to chase the morning? Running until our lungs felt like paper Now I prefer the way the clock ticks Marking the time we’ve already won It’s a different kind of victory
[Verse] The front door is waiting just around the bend I’ll hang my hat and find you there No surprises, just the truth of us Everything has finally clicked into place The way the moon finds its spot in the sky
[Outro] (It's finally clicked) Just the truth of us Walking home It fits (Mmm)
The Deep Side
Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse] The jacket is frayed at the seam White cardboard showing through Needle finds the outer rim Black disc spinning wide Shoulders drop two inches Lungs expand against the cotton Air tastes like old timber (Hold) (Let go)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse] Brass caught in a loop Scratch on the third track Familiar now Like a bruise you forget is there Cool air in Count the beat One Two Three Chest moves out (Deeply) Exhale over the floorboards
[Outro] Spinning Still spinning (The end of the side) (Release)
The Slow Tide
Lyrics
[Intro] (Mmm) (Yeah) (Let it go)
[Verse] Toss the keys on the wood Unstrap the heavy boots The day was a hard climb Now let the river take the weight (Let it go) Let the river take the weight
[Verse] Tight knots in the mind Undo them one by one The ticking clock skips a beat Let the river take the weight (Let it go) Let the river take the weight
[Bridge] It is a slow tide Cool water on the heat No more push and pull Just the drift of the tide (Cool water) No more push and pull Just the drift of the tide
[Verse] Eyes shut to the moon The spirit starts to swing No more mountain to move Let the river take the weight (Let it go) Let the river take the weight
[Outro] Let it slide Let it drift (Down the river) (Down the river) Watch it slide (Down the river) Let it go (Let it go) Let it go (Mmm) Yeah Rest now Rest now
