Stone Unmoved

[Verse 1]
The screen went dark, a quiet, sudden pull,
Like ocean floor exposed, I gave up all control.
No digital tide could drag me to the fray,
Just sun-baked earth beneath, through long, slow summer days.
The world kept spinning fast, but I just ceased to chase,
Found quiet currents flowing in this slower pace.

[Chorus]
I found my rhythm, quiet and deep,
A secret shoreline, for my soul to keep.
No shifting sand, no shallow, fleeting stream,
Just solid rock, a waking, vibrant dream.

[Verse 2]
The city hummed, a distant, crashing wave,
But I saw coral, growing from the grave.
A child's bright laugh, a vendor's salty call,
Found unexpected beauty, standing free and tall.
The anonymous faces, a familiar reef,
And in their gaze, a quiet current I could read.

[Chorus]
I found my rhythm, quiet and deep,
A secret shoreline, for my soul to keep.
No shifting sand, no shallow, fleeting stream,
Just solid rock, a waking, vibrant dream.

[Bridge]
Old memories, once blurred by salt and haze,
Now sharpen, pure, through sun-drenched, quiet days.
The moon's slow pull, a truth I knew before,
But only found, when I withdrew from shore.

[Outro]
The deep current flows, clear and strong and true,
A quiet summer, beautifully new.
