Paper Lanterns
Drift
Light in folded silk, rising. Vocals glow warm through translucent layers, the feeling of watching something beautiful drift skyward. This is release without loss.
Lyrics
The windowsill is holding rain
A cup of something warm between my hands
The curtain moves without a reason
And I follow where it lands
Paper lanterns on the water
Carrying what I don't need to name
Some things float because you let them
Some things glow without a flame
The room has turned to amber light
The clock forgot what it was counting
My shoulders found the chair again
And nothing needs accounting
Paper lanterns on the water
Carrying what I don't need to name
Some things float because you let them
Some things glow without a flame
Let them glow
Let them go
