lyrics

VERSE 1:
Boots first I leap into the timeless mute
Boots first I leap into the timeless mute
No place for ripcords
On my shapeless parachute

Alas, I do not fall - I float
As if upon a tea leaf
Or inside a paper boat
A thief
In a suspicious overcoat

PRE-CHORUS:
Slow like anguish
Dark like humor
Cold like paradox

Fat like pride
Stiff like faith
Detached like broken clocks

CHORUS:
Solitude
Self-serving solitude
Oh, solitude
Above the timeless mute

VERSE 2:
I'm sucking in three liters of emphatic air
I'm sucking in three liters of emphatic air
Expecting miracles
Exhaling habitual despair

And ever-still I float
As if upon a tea leaf
Or inside a paper boat
A thief
In a suspicious overcoat

BRIDGE:
Riding alongside inertia
Deeply aware of lapses in time
Space turns to hole-ridden concept
Bent by impulsive divine
