MUSIC FOR SALE

(Verse 1)
Morning’s teeth on my
Windowpane
Coffee stains on yesterday’s
Refrain
I’m tangled up in post-it notes
And dreams
The ceiling’s got a thousand tiny
Cracks
Each one’s a question I can’t take
Back
And the world’s outside,
Humming static in between
(Pre-chorus)
I’ve got a pocket full of pennies
And a worn-out map
Every road’s a question, every
Yes a trap
But I’m stepping out the door –
Can you hear the sound?
Heartbeat stuttering, echoing
Around
(Chorus)
It all begins now?
Here in the soft uncertainty,
A trembling vow,
New leaves on an old, reluctant
Tree
If time is a spiral, I’m dizzy
Somehow –
But it all begins, it all begins now
(Verse 2)
Sunday shoes and mismatched
Socks
Anxiety’s tick-tock, tick-tock
Spinning fables out of sidewalk
Cracks
I’m learning to be okey with the
Unknown
Making peace with the
Undertone
Of a future that keeps painting
Over black
(Pre-chorus)
There’s a melody in silence, a
Truth in the doubt
A spark in the stillness, just
Waiting to break out
So I breathe in deep – let it fill my
Chest
Here’s to the shiver, the hope,
The unrest
(Chorus)
It all begins now?
Hands shaking but holding on
Tight,
I’ll allow
A little courage to flicker in the
Light
If the clock is a canvas, I’m
Painting it wow –
Yeah, it all begins, it all begins
Now
(Bridge)
Maybe the start is just a whisper,
A trembling line in a journal kept
Maybe the end’s just the same
Old fixture
But I’ll write my name in the
Space I’ve wept
(Chorus)
It all begins now?
Underneath this awkward sky
I make a vow,
To let myself stumble, to try
If I’m just a question, I’ll answer
Somehow –
Because it all begins, it all begins
Now
(Outro)
So here’s to the moment,
The falling and the rise
With doubt as my compass,
I open my eyes –
It all begins…
Now.
