Twenty Minute Hours

Raindrops race on the window glass A neon sign from a day that's passed Steam curls up from a ceramic mug Tucked away in a corner, safe and snug Headphones on, the world goes dim Just the gentle hum of a quiet hymn And the lofi beat just plays and plays Washing over these focused days Two hours feel like twenty minutes gone From the city's dusk to the early dawn This steady rhythm in my ears

Makes all the static disappear Textbook pages start to blur Then sharpen with a gentle stir Ideas clicking into place Finding rhythm, finding space The mellow keys, a soft bass line Making this little moment mine And the lofi beat just plays and plays Washing over these focused days Two hours feel like twenty minutes gone From the city's dusk to the early dawn

This steady rhythm in my ears Makes all the static disappear Look up and see a stranger's light Burning just as late and bright A silent nod, we understand The work that's growing in our hands Then back to the screen, back to the page Lost together on a quiet stage And the lofi beat just plays and plays Washing over these focused days Two hours feel like twenty minutes gone

From the city's dusk to the early dawn This steady rhythm in my ears Makes all the static disappear
