Frequency Shift

Frequency Shifting Needle kept skipping on the same worn groove Until the arm lifted and the room learned how to move[Verse 1] Morning light arrived already tired of its name Windows fogged with stories that the glass refused to claim I measured every doorway by the weight it made me carry Counting seconds like they owed me something temporary Birds outside were speaking in a language I had known Before the clocks convinced me that the only time was shown One note from a far tree cut the schedule clean in half And the day stopped repeating what the yesterday had left[Lift] No announcement, no arrival Just the quiet of a choice The old loop lost its purchase When I answered with my voice[Chorus] We shift the frequency when the pattern starts to fray Not by force or by forgetting, just by listening a different way What was heavy finds a current and decides to travel light The same sky keeps its distance while the ground learns new height[Verse 2] Someone laughed across the market and the sound arrived intact Not filtered through the worry that I usually unpack I walked past my reflection in a puddle after rain And the face that looked back up had forgotten how to explain Wind moved through the alley like it knew a shorter route Carrying the smell of ganja and the memory of you I didn’t chase the feeling or demand it stay the same I let the frequency decide the color of the frame[Drop] Lower than the argument Wider than the plan The bass of ordinary hours Finding room to expand No more matching shadows No more borrowed key The lock is still the lock But the door remembers me[Verse 3] Seasons do not argue with the angle of the sun They simply turn the temperature until the work is done We are built of the same patience, built of the same air Frequency is only what we choose to answer there Not a better version waiting somewhere past the bend Just the present one continuing, willing to extend The song does not replace the one that came before It keeps the notes that matter and releases all the rest[Outro] If the day begins to answer in a key you didn’t set If the ordinary moments start to land without regret Stay inside the listening Let the next wave choose its shore Frequency is shifting And the door is still the door
