The hours move in static ways
No sudden rise
no empty days
I walk the calm between the haze
No truth to find
no mistake to raise
The air is still
the tone is mild
No chaos wild
no quiet child
I simply am
I simply breathe
No broken hope
no worn out grief
No rising flame
no falling dew
No old end
no new breakthrough
I stay inside the blues I knew
Steady view
These static hours in my chest
No sad regret
Saxophone rolls
the beat rests
Neutral blues
my quiet dress
I drift along the steady line
No fall behind
no peak to climb
Slow and smooth
all through the time
Calm design
The world turns slow in muted tone
No storm to fight
no peace to own
I stand unrushed
unbound
unknown
No highs to keep
no lows to atone
The light is flat
the night is mild
No wounded heart
no happy child
I hold the space within my soul
Simply whole
No rising flame
no falling dew
No old end
no new breakthrough
I stay inside the blues I knew
Steady view
These static hours in my chest
No sad regret
Saxophone rolls
the beat rests
Neutral blues
my quiet dress
I drift along the steady line
No fall behind
no peak to climb
Slow and smooth
all through the time
Calm design
Not too heavy
not too light
Not too day
not too night
Let the modern blues take flight
