Twenty Minute Hours

Raindrops trace the window pane Blurring the neon, a soft-lit stain Steam from the porcelain, a warm-gloved hand In this quiet corner of a foreign land Notebook's open, a clean white square Felt-tip pen just floating there The low hum buzzin' from the espresso machine Painting the silence, a gentle scene And the lofi beat is a steady heart Tearing the hours and minutes apart Making two hours feel like twenty gone by Under a hazy, electric sky

Yeah, the rhythm's slow, but my mind is fast Building a moment that's meant to last In this perfect headspace, easy and true Watching the thoughts just flow right through Headphones on, the world's on mute Just the jazzy chord and the ghost of a flute Fingers are flying on silent keys Carried along on a digital breeze Someone across the room just turns a page Another actor on this quiet stage We're all alone together, in our own design Drawing a perfectly focused line

And the lofi beat is a steady heart Tearing the hours and minutes apart Making two hours feel like twenty gone by Under a hazy, electric sky Yeah, the rhythm's slow, but my mind is fast Building a moment that's meant to last In this perfect headspace, easy and true Watching the thoughts just flow right through Look up for a second, past the screen's soft glare See the city sleeping in the misty air No sense of pressure, no sense of dread Just the calm satisfaction inside my head

The work feels easy, the work feels right Illuminated by the cafe light And the lofi beat is a steady heart Tearing the hours and minutes apart Making two hours feel like twenty gone by Under a hazy, electric sky Yeah, the rhythm's slow, but my mind is fast Building a moment that's meant to last In this perfect headspace, easy and true Watching the thoughts just flow right through
