(Verse 1)

Fits the staccato, jumping opening notes

Step, step, cracks in the floor

Don't remember what I came in here for

The window is open, the air is cold

The story is new but the feeling is old

I’m pressing the keys just to see if they break

How much of this noise can one person take?

(Pre-Chorus)

For the sections where the melody climbs and falls rapidly

And I’m climbing up the scale

Just to slide back down the rail

It’s a chaotic sort of symphony

Playing out inside of me

Signals crossing in the wire

Lighting little unexpected fires

(Chorus)

For the main, heavier chord progressions

Oh, catch the spark before it fades

Walking through the mess we made

I am here, but I am drifting

While the heavy clouds are shifting

Is it magic, is it tragic, or is it just sound?

Waiting for feet to touch the ground

(Verse 2)

Slower, for the middle wandering section

Lost the map somewhere back in the dream

Nothing is ever quite what it seems

I’m wearing a face that I haven’t quite earned

Looking for pages that haven’t been burned

A glitch in the system, a ghost in the room

Dancing alone in the afternoon gloom

(Bridge)

For the most frantic/fast part of the playing

Scattered notes like falling rain

Trying to explain the pain

Or maybe it’s just energy!

Wishing I could set it free

Run the red light, skip the beat

Echoes bouncing off the street

(Outro)

For the final lingering chords

Just let it ring

Just let it ring

I’m still listening...

I’m still listening.
