Original lyric sketch · Fictional voice · Lyrics only · Observation before explanation
Verse
The room is not an answer.
The table is not a test.
I set down the incomplete count
and give the unfinished sentence rest.
Refrain
First the ripple, then the story of the stone.
Let the room keep breathing.
Let the words arrive.
Leave a little space for what is still alive.
