Indolent Heart

Lyrics

I wake to walls I’ve seen too long A half-remembered morning song The mirror shows a memory Soft around the edges, quietly

Indolent heart, slow to start Beating time in the dark Stirred by chaos, calmed by art Still an indolent heart

Once I chased a flicker in the wind A voice too strange to let begin The rhythm broke, the silence cracked Then order came and pulled it back

Indolent heart, slow to start Beating time in the dark Stirred by chaos, calmed by art Still an indolent heart

There’s a storm outside my chest But the windows never break I feel the tremble, then forget- A stir, a pause, a small escape

Indolent heart, soft and slow Still afraid of what it knows But every silence has a spark- A whisper deep inside the dark

I move, I stay I hum, I stray No anthem, no fresh start But not yet gone-my indolent heart
