Veridian Weft

[Verse 1]
Rain stitches silver onto pane, a transient, liquid gleam,
Each drop a silent whisper, weaving through a long-forgotten dream.
Outside, the old factory sleeps, its concrete skin a stark, quiet grey,
A verdant weft of ivy climbs, defying time's relentless, slow decay.

[Chorus]
Oh, the air is heavy, a forgotten, velvet shroud,
Every silent breath I take, lost within the endless, urban crowd.
In this quiet loom, my deepest memories spin,
A palimpsest of sorrow, deep within.

[Verse 2]
The rusted key, a jagged thread, held tight in my trembling, weary hand,
Unlocking shadows from a long-abandoned, silent, forgotten land.
A child's worn glove, a tiny patchwork, sewn with fragile, fading grace,
Echoes through the industrial quiet, fading without a trace.

[Bridge]
This city's frayed edges, a dark tapestry, largely unseen,
A comfort and a subtle cage, where fleeting, stark beauty intervenes.
No true escape, just raw observation, in the long, lonely, city night,
Finding profound peace in urban fractures, bathed in fractured neon light.

[Outro]
The ancient fabric whispers low, a bittersweet, soft embrace.
Dust motes dance forever slowly, suspended in this haunted space.
