Lost (Morning)

Phone lights buzzing on the nightstand glow

Another headline I don’t wanna know

Coffee’s cold but my head runs hot

Too many tabs open in one thought

So I step outside, let the air hit slow

Feel my heartbeat where the grass won’t grow

I keep cool while the room melts down

Let it spin, I don’t spin around

Like a leaf just riding out the storm

Not in control, but I’m still warm

Bus rolls by with a hollow stare

Everybody scrolling like they’re not quite there

But you laugh and it cuts right through

Like a simple truth I always knew

In your eyes there’s a quieter way

Like the world makes sense for a second each day

We stay calm while the noise runs wild

Hold that peace like a sleeping child

Let it rise, let it fall, let it be

There’s a rhythm underneath we see

Maybe meaning’s in the little things

In the songs that the morning brings

In a hand that you hold too tight

In a kid learning wrong from right

Building dreams in a slower time

Not chasing gold, just a clearer mind

Understanding in what we share

Little moments of breathing air

No need to worry, it fades away

Like the dark giving in to day

In the madness, a quiet thread

Harmony in the words unsaid

We don’t solve it, we just align

Peace of heart in a borrowed time

All the answers we never chase

Still find meaning in this place
