Obsidian Drift
by Jay Barnes
Lyrics
Verse 1
Moonlight on my desk
Tabs open like scars
Ash in the tray
Phone face down, dark screen, old calls
Heart got a deadbolt, rust
Trust in a glass jar
Thoughts run quiet and quick
Like dogs in a backyard
Chorus
I let the shadows talk for me
Cold blood, warm dreams, they war in me
I'm on this obsidian drift
Too heavy to fall, too broken to lift
I let the shadows talk for me
Low voice, slow burn, that’s all of me
Riding this obsidian drift
Too numb to cry, too tired to resist (yeah)
Verse 2
Friends turned to echoes
Names fade to static
I learned to move careful
Turn peace into habit
Smile like a glitch in the frame
Brief, then it’s gone again
Hope in a locked safe
Key buried under the rain
Chorus
I let the shadows talk for me
Cold blood, warm dreams, they war in me
I'm on this obsidian drift
Too heavy to fall, too broken to lift
I let the shadows talk for me
Low voice, slow burn, that’s all of me
Riding this obsidian drift
Too numb to cry, too tired to resist (oh)
