Unfinished letter

Some days drift by in faded light,
Crumbs on the table, last night’s coffee gone cold,
There’s a window open, letting in the sky,
The floors creak as I wander, not sure what I’m searching for.

[Guitar Interlude][Hard drum accent]

[Verse 2]
Bare feet in the hallway, worn rugs beneath,
There’s rhythm to waiting, to voices undefined,
You in another room, humming nothing but the breath,
How silence spreads around us, quietly alive.

[Drums Break][Crescendo][Tone Modulation]

[Pre-Chorus]
(Raspy Male vocal, growing intensity)
Every small habit, each gentle delay —
It sinks in my memory with every passing day.

[Chorus]
[Duet: Lazy Husky Female Vocal/ Raspy Male vocals, powerful]
Oh, the quiet runs deep through this shelter we share,
In the hum of the fridge, in the dust in the air,
I trace the strange comfort in each lost afternoon,
Even loneliness echoes as welcome as a tune.

[Guitar Interlude]

[Verse 3]
There’s laughter from neighbors, itinerant and brief,
Unfinished letter tucked under the mat,
We’re softened by boredom, by simple belief
That nothing too urgent will threaten all that.

[Drums Break, ethnic ad-libs]

[Bridge]
Wind through the hallway, footsteps retreat,
Time folds the sunlight, rooms fill with heat.
If distance should settle inside every room —
Would you find me in quiet, or just slip out too soon?

[Chorus]
[Duet: Male/Female vocals, power crescendo and harmony]
Oh, the quiet runs deep through this shelter we share,
In the hum of the fridge, in the dust in the air,
There’s comfort in knowing I’m not alone here,
Even if words sometimes disappear.
