Track Insight / Lyrics
Night settles over office walls
A copper bell beside the stair
A cartwheel turns beneath the door
Something warm begins to breathe
The office emptied years ago
A cat holds court beneath the glass
Her paws are tucked, her breath is slow
She sleeps where lost pages sometimes pass
[Pre-
The fluorescent lamp hums low
The walls are thin as winter glass
A draft slides underneath the door
Then gathers gently on her paws
Warm printer, keep her safe tonight
She owns the quiet, owns the light
Her whiskers twitch through circuits white
And somewhere breaks the morning light
A copier throbs in rusted black
One warm page lifts beneath her paw
The city stiffens behind the glass
A single amber blink says thaw
[Pre-
The fluorescent lamp hums low
The walls are thin as winter glass
A draft slides underneath the door
Then gathers gently on her paws
Warm printer, keep her safe tonight
She owns the quiet, owns the light
Her whiskers twitch through circuits white
And somewhere breaks the morning light
Four red digits softly glow
She curls around the softened heat
The blank page shines like winter snow
Her tail taps time beneath her feet
Warm printer, keep her safe tonight
She owns the quiet, owns the light
Her whiskers twitch through circuits white
And somewhere breaks the morning light
Rain stitches silver on the stair
The rented walls are paper-thin
A heartbeat drums beneath the chair
Borrowed warmth pulls breath back in
Warm printer, keep her safe tonight
She owns the quiet, owns the light
Her whiskers twitch through circuits white
And somewhere breaks the morning light
At dawn the office gathers near
She opens one electric eye
A stranger smiles and does not stare
Her whiskers gather morning steam
Warm printer, keep her dreams alight
She owns the quiet, owns the night
Her whiskers ride the silver light
And all the dust is crowned with light
The elevator departs again
The window catches April rain
Her sleeping weight has cheered the room
And left a small gold bloom
