Lyrics

I can feel the texture of the wood beneath my hand,
Like the first grain of a desert or a single inch of land.
It’s the friction of the living, it’s the warmth inside the cold,
A story written on the skin that’s never been told.
I am reaching through the darkness for a surface I can trust,
Finding there is magic in the fiber and the dust.
No more grand illusions, no more towers in the sky,
Just the simple, honest rhythm of a human passing by.
The felt is on the wires, the hammer’s on the bone,
The softest kind of music that I’ve ever really known.
I am learning how to touch again, I’m learning how to feel,
The difference between the shadow and the things that are real.
Oh, the felt and the friction, the mercy in the touch,
I never knew that breathing could ever mean so much.
The mechanics of the spirit, the clockwork of the soul,
Finding all the pieces that could make the person whole.
Listen to the movement, listen to the grain,
The sound of the recovery, the washing of the pain.
It’s building in the quiet, it’s growing in the soft,
Carrying the weight of a new world aloft.
Every scar has a texture, every wound has a sound,
Like the rustle of the autumn as it hits the frozen ground.
I am not a broken machine, I am not a hollow shell,
I’m the friction of the water at the bottom of the well.
Unconditional presence in the clicking of the keys,
Finding a new language in the whispers of the trees.
It’s the beauty of the struggle, it’s the glory of the wear,
The architecture of a spirit who is finally aware.
Oh, the felt and the friction, the mercy in the touch,
I never knew that breathing could ever mean so much.
The mechanics of the spirit, the clockwork of the soul,
Finding all the pieces that could make the person whole.
The touch...
The grain...
The resistance of the string.
I am here.
I am matter.
I am a living thing.
Softly... softly...
Until the friction turns to fire.
Let the warmth expand, let the tactile world ignite,
Shining through the felt in the middle of the night.
It’s the resonance of being, it’s the friction of the grace,
I can finally recognize the features of my face.
No more hiding from the surface, no more living in the fear,
The architecture of the solitude is finally getting clear.
