[Verse 1]
Skies draped in velvet ink
Radio's hushed, just me and the blink
Of hazard lights and restless cars
Head leaning back, taking the thoughts
A hum of a word I'm no chasing
Parked in a lane I stopped chasing
Engines quiet, like my phone
Every answer's best left unknown
What if I stayed instead of ran?
What I laughed like I never began?
What if the silence had more to say?
Than all my noise these passing days
Rain decorates the windshield in code
Each drop, a linе I never wrote
I'm drifting through my own rеcall
With no destination after all
[Verse 2]
I don't know where I should be
But here, right now, is holding me
My mind meanders through fogged glass
Don't wake me, I want this to last
Idle thoughts in a stalled out night
No purpose, no plans, no fight
Just breathing in the maybes and might
Let me sit here and not be right
Idle thoughts, my favorite wrong turn
No place to go, just lessons to burn
Like overseas on the dashes of peace
Not a crash
Once, I craved a sign, a voice
Now I find [?] choice
I count the glow in parking lots
And build a life in phantom plots
[Verse 3]
Performed, float like mist
Unfinished poems on the edge of a fist
If "close" is a myth, we chase in vein
I'll stay open in rain, yeah, yeah, yeah
I rewind, 'cause they never said
Rerun moments inside my head
Would they love me if I was new?
Was this their version?
It was worth two
No gas, no shame, just pulse
Nighttime feels the most adult
When nothing presses, nothing pulls
Just a jolt with gentle haults
Maybe motion isn't healing
Maybe this pause is a kind of healing}
Maybe the stars have always known
That thinking can still get you home
Idle thoughts in an open sky
No reason needed, just ask why
I'm falling through like a vapor breath
Not 'fraid, or death
Idle thoughts in a low-tide hum
[Verse 4]
(Idle thoughts in a low-light hum)
(I'm not fixed, but I've become)
(Something soft or something whole)
(Coasting gently in control)
(If anyone asks, where I've been)
(Tell them I've parked beneath the dim)
(Found the rhythm, in doing less)
(In not knowing, I confess)
(This me with the world turned low)
(Learning that saying, still can grow)
(Idle maybe, broken, no)
(This calm is more than you'll ever know)
So when I start again, it won't be to escape
Or pretend
It'll be because I've heard enough from hush
Will wait for softer stuff
Idle thoughts made real
Told me how to break and feel
When the ride resumes, I'll steer
But for now, I'm happy here
