Lo-Fi
Lyrics
Description
fog spills out from cracked windowpanes,
a worn-out record spins on frayed edges,
city hums dressed in midnight blues,
steam from my hands sketches maps across cold glass.
fingers trace the curtains pulling back the hush,
shadows fold into pockets unspoken,
heartbeats tap a careless rhythm—offbeat, slow,
breathing deep the pulse beneath streetlamps’ faint glow.
caught in this quiet reverie,
where time slips between worn-out seams,
drifting on waves no one else can see,
here in the stillness, i’m finally free.
lamp flickers in the corner like a tired eye,
notes from a distant guitar float soft and sly,
dust settles on pages i barely read,
words curl and linger like smoke from a midnight seed.
each sigh a thread in this woven silence,
grains of night sift through fingertips,
lost in the pull of a slow, steady tide,
watching the world blur where day’s edges hide.
caught in this quiet reverie,
where time slips between worn-out seams,
drifting on waves no one else can see,
here in the stillness, i’m finally free.
no footsteps chase this drifting thought,
between cracked streets and dreams forgot,
i fold into the crease of dark, alone but whole,
the fleeting spark that colors all my soul.
caught in this quiet reverie,
where time slips between worn-out seams,
drifting on waves no one else can see,
here in the stillness, i’m finally free.
night exhales its fading breath,
and i’m still here, a gentle trace left,
quiet reverie, carry me home,
on these quiet waves, i'll never roam.
