Tape Loop Sun (versione 2)

Verse

Razor wire along the edge of my window

Twisted steel in a hundred different lines

Scaffolding stacked up across the parking lot

Steel ladders leaning into yesterday's rain

Pigeons landing on the rusted beam

Dust rising soft from where they came

This is the view that I was looking for

Every dirty angle, every jagged shore

Pre-Chorus

So let me stay right here in the shadow light

Let the sirens hum through the long dark night

Nobody's asking me to leave this place

I'm a ghost inside this iron space

Chorus

Hold on to something you don't need to change

This is where I want to spend my time

Tape loop sun against the metal frame

I'll be here till the morning light decides to climb

Verse 2

Rooftop garden where the fire alarms go off

Faded signs of a business that closed long ago

Bare concrete floor and a single flickering bulb

The city lights outside are burning out, but this one stays on

Every pigeon in the neighborhood knows my name

I'm not leaving till they take down every last beam

No alarm will make me move from where I am today

This is where I find my shadow's edge, every single day

Pre-Chorus

So let me stay right here in the shadow light

Let the sirens hum through the long dark night

Nobody's asking me to leave this place

I'm a ghost inside this iron space

Chorus

Hold on to something you don't need to change

This is where I want to spend my time

Tape loop sun against the metal frame

I'll be here till the morning light decides to climb

Bridge

I don't know how many days it's been since I got here

But every one of them feels like a memory

Not something that might happen, but already is

This is where my shadow stays when it gets tired and slow

I used to think of moving on as something noble

But now I see it just means leaving behind the only home I know

Chorus

Hold on to something you don't need to change

This is where I want to spend my time

Tape loop sun against the metal frame

I'll be here till the morning light decides to climb
