Perfectly still in this space tonight
My fingers trace the velvet feeling fine
Something sacred in solitude here
Where my voice can't disappear
Into,
and fade into the air
Practicing patience,
performing for none Proving to myself what I might become
Empty rows filled with possibility
Every note I sing sets something free
Watch me paint these walls with
melody
Till every vrissi holds a piece of me
Red curtains rustle,
nobody there But in my mind I see them everywhere
Standing ovation,
my memory Future moments yet to be
Rising up from deep inside of me Practicing patience,
performing for none
Proving to myself what I might become
Empty rows filled with possibility
Every note I sing sets something free
Watch me paint these walls with melody
Till every vrissi holds a piece of me
