The Folded Weight

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sorting through the velvet pile
Tour hoodies in a stack
Looking back for a while
Nothing's coming back
Velvet shadows on the floor
I don't need it anymore
But I linger at the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Fog on the fire escape
Love in a different shape
I see the city lights
Through the lonely nights
[Chorus]
Faint jasmine on the cuff
I have had enough
But I am not bitter
Under the moon’s glitter
Folding the memories small
Watching the shadows fall
[Post-Chorus]
Warm and unhurried
No longer worried
Late night confession
A gentle lesson
[Verse]
Stitched names on the sleeve
Harder now to leave
Wurlitzer hums a low tune
Underneath a waning moon
Jazz chords in the air
Fingers through my hair
[Hook]
Soft closure
Slow exposure
Just a quiet release
Finding my peace
[Bridge]
No more loud fights
Just these studio lights
Fretless bass lines creep
While the neighbors sleep
Tape crackle in the ear
Everything is clear
[Chorus]
Faint jasmine on the cuff
I have had enough
But I am not bitter
Under the moon’s glitter
Folding the memories small
Watching the shadows fall
[Breakdown]
Breathe in the faded scent
Wonder where the time went
No more heavy heart
Just a brand new start
On this cold metal grate
I will no longer wait
[Chorus]
Faint jasmine on the cuff
I have had enough
But I am not bitter
Under the moon’s glitter
Folding the memories small
Watching the shadows fall
[Outro]
