Salt Lamp
Drift
Your spine finds the wall and the rest of you follows. Soft piano suspended in warm air, the kind of sound that makes a room feel smaller in the best way. This is the track for when you realize you stopped moving twenty minutes ago and nothing asked you to start again.
Lyrics
The salt lamp's throwing pink across the floor
I'm counting rings in hardwood I never noticed
My spine found the wall twenty minutes ago
And nothing asked me to move
A car door shuts somewhere below
The building settles like it's breathing out
I think I had a list for today
It's underneath me somewhere
The light is changing but I can't say when it started
The salt's dissolving into crystal at the edges
Something about that feels like permission
To be exactly this still
The grain keeps going
All the way to the wall
