Clock hands drift through the folds of a heavy curtain Tracing the lights to say nothing here is certain Dust settles on the spine of unread archive How the ghosts of the city remain vividly alive Coffee rings stain the ledger of the hours spent waiting A geometry of silence that we're constantly creating We map the echoes where the avenues converge Finding the rhythm in the moment where the shadows emerge The city exhales a plume of ink into the gray We're just footprints where the water flows away Silver ripples on the surface of a memory We are drifting through the resonance of history In the space between the words that we choose There is nothing to gain and nothing to lose Flowing like the ink into the white Melting into geometry of night Static hum in the marrow of the subway's roar Calculated collisions in the marrow of the street Where the concrete breathes under our tired feet We are transient stains on a permanent canvas Chasing the logic that the universe grants us Every rhythm is a lesson in the art of letting go Watching ink bleed where the heavy thoughts flow It's a soulful math in the dark of the design Learning how to live on the invisible line Silver ripples on the surface of a memory We are drifting through the resonance of history In the space between the words that we choose There is nothing to gain and nothing to lose Flowing like the ink into the white Melting into geometry of night Just breathe Everything breathes in the light Everything breathes In stillness The geometry holds The geometry holds Breathe out the geometry holds Just breathe
