Original lyric sketch · Fictional voice · Lyrics only · A place for unfinished work

Verse

No bell above the doorway,
no grand and final sign;
only the abandoned prototype
and a margin left in time.

Refrain

The unfinished shape can keep its open side.
Let the room keep breathing.
Let the words arrive.
Leave a little space for what is still alive.
