Gravity Quilt

[Verse 1]
That ten-dollar Casio's got a sticky C sharp
Dust motes do a slow dance in the sunbeam's amber warp
The kudzu's breathing green against the window pane
First real quiet I have felt through all this August rain

[Chorus]
In the amber hour, I just come unsewn
Gravity's a heavy quilt I'm wearing all alone

[Verse 2]
Mama's making sinigang, the sour smell drifts through the door
She said "'Anak, you're a blanket, just a little frayed and worn'"
Nothing that a needle and some rest can't fix, she swore
It's been two whole months since I last went down to the store

[Chorus]
In the amber hour, I just come unsewn
Gravity's a heavy quilt I'm wearing all alone

[Bridge]
My proprioception's a faded, hand-drawn map
Wish I could just float up through the ceiling's dusty gap

[Outro]
Just a tangled thread...
in the afternoon.
