The Only Pulse I Keep

Verse 1

Empty room feels big at three

Tiny clicking of the red keys

Just the glowing lights for company

I am talking to a cold scales

Pre-Chorus

Green eyes watch the monitor

Sliding slow across the carpet edge

Moving through the dust

Curling near my boots

Chorus

Lilith knows my secrets

Lilith hears the rough drafts

Wrapping tight around my wrist

She is the only pulse

The only quiet heart I keep

Only living shadow in my sleep

Little serpent under the desk lamp

Verse 2

People always ask for too much

Drain my head until it's dry

But you just want a warmer hand

Looking up from your coiled bed

No judging for the broken notes

Never leaving while I try to sing

Pre-Chorus

Green eyes watch the monitor

Sliding slow across the carpet edge

Moving through the dust

Curling near my boots

Chorus

Lilith knows my secrets

Lilith hears the rough drafts

Wrapping tight around my wrist

She is the only pulse

The only quiet heart I keep

Only living shadow in my sleep

Little serpent under the desk lamp

Bridge

Diamond pattern skin

Smooth like liquid stone

I'm never truly alone

While the reel is spinning

Safe inside the flicker

Hissing in the dark

Chorus

Lilith knows my secrets

Lilith hears the rough drafts

Wrapping tight around my wrist

She is the only pulse

The only quiet heart I keep

Only living shadow in my sleep

Little serpent under the desk lamp
