Restlessness in the Quiet Hour

[Verse 1]
Steps on the gravel, tracing the line
I gather the shadows, waiting for a sign
The gears keep turning inside my head
Unraveling words that I never said
Fretless slides on a shifting floor
I lock the window but I watch the door

[Chorus]
Oh, the restlessness in the quiet hour
Chasing the light, losing the power
Sitar strings calling out my name
In the middle of a shifting game
Stack the choir, lift it high
Underneath an open sky

[Verse 2]
Moog arpeggios climb the wall
I stand in the center, waiting to fall
Restless momentum, a constant race
Looking for peace in a crowded place
Conversational, the phrasing flows
Where the angular propulsion goes

[Bridge]
(Half-time)
Strip it down to the bass pulse deep
A quiet promise I intend to keep
No more chasing, no more flight
Just the hum of the static night

[Chorus]
Oh, the restlessness in the quiet hour
Chasing the light, losing the power
Sitar strings calling out my name
In the middle of a shifting game
Stack the choir, lift it high
Underneath an open sky

[Outro]
Let it fade on a tape delay
The echoes carrying the day away
Introspective, breathing slow
Where the currents flow.
