Midnight oil burns with a scented flame
Your shadow dances, never calls its name
I trace the coastline of a borrowed map
A quiet storm brews in a sealed lap
The tide pulls gentle, then a riptide grip
A sip becomes a final, fateful sip
This honeyed silence, thick and undefined
A puzzle box I never meant to find
And the room is spinning slow
In a Kodak retro glow
Every second stretches thin
Before the freefall begins
It's not a wave,it's the whole damn sea
Not a key, but the turning of the century
I built a wall, you laid the final stone
NowI'm facing this… utterly alone… together
I'm drowned in the velvet of your gaze
Lost in the echo of your phrase
Bound by the silence that we made
A perfect cage, a chosen blade
I'm drowned drowned in the velvet of your gaze
Lost in the echo of your phrase
Bound by the silence that we made
A perfect cage, a chosen blade
I'm drowned...
Check the pulse— erratic static— a fractured rhyme,
Used to conduct the current, now I’ m out of time.
The blueprint’ s faded, pixelated, data turning weak,
Compass spinning, always grinning, north is all it seeks.
A silent revolution beneath the conscious stream,
A frequency the old me never dared to dream.
They talk in temporary tenses, slang that comes and goes,
I'm tracing eternal sentences that only spirit knows.
No gold can weigh this, no title can confine,
This voluntary shipwreck, this holy borderline.
Sinking through the shadows where the sacred currents flow,
Navigating miracles that only heartbeats know.
The rhythm rewired, soul- inspired, a new beat in the chest,
A deeper encryption where the angels manifest.
From erratic to ecstatic, a transformation script,
Every stumble in the static— a bridge to being equipped.
It's not a spark, it’ s the forest ablaze
Not a phase, but the rest of my days
I signed the treaty with my own hand
To surrender to this… foreign land
I'm drowned in the velvet of your gaze
Lost in the echo of your phrase
Bound by the silence that we made
A perfect cage, a chosen blade
I'm drowned drowned in the velvet of your gaze
Lost in the echo of your phrase
Bound by the silence that we made
A perfect cage, a chosen blade
I'm drowned
So paint the world in monochrome, leave just one color true
The spectrum falls away, and allthat's left is you
Thisgravity's a language, written in the fall
The most beautiful surrender, answering no call…
I'm drowned in the velvet of your gaze
I'm Lost in the echo of your phrase
I'm Bound by the silence that we made
Our perfect cage, our chosen blade
I'm drowned drowned in the velvet of your gaze
I'm Lost in the echo of your phrase
I'm Bound by the silence that we made
Our perfect cage, our chosen blade
I'm drowned...
I'm drowned
I'm lost
I'm bound
And Idon't want out
No, Idon't want out…
