The Lost Sock

[Chorus] 2:38 AM, the city sleeps A quiet hum, a secret keeps I watch the shirts go round and round No solid ground, no steady sound [Verse] The dryer spins, a gentle roar A lone coin drops upon the floor A vending machine begins to buzz Just me and dust, and what it was The empty street outside my sight Just shadows dance in pale streetlight [Pre-Chorus] I feel the fabric, soft and worn Another day, another dawn This endless cycle, can't break free Just like these clothes, that's me [Chorus] 2:38 AM, the city sleeps A quiet hum, a secret keeps I watch the shirts go round and round No solid ground, no steady sound [Verse] An old newspaper, crinkled, thin I hear the rustle from within The world outside has gone to rest No urgent call, no pressing test Just silence, cold and deep A moment frozen, I will keep [Pre-Chorus] I feel the fabric, soft and worn Another day, another dawn This endless cycle, can't break free Just like these clothes, that's me [Chorus] 2:38 AM, the city sleeps A quiet hum, a secret keeps I watch the shirts go round and round No solid ground, no steady sound [Bridge] A lost sock drifting, all alone A restless spirit overthrown Searching for a matching pair A purpose found somewhere out there But all I see is endless gray Just spinning on, day after day [Chorus] 2:38 AM, the city sleeps A quiet hum, a secret keeps I watch the shirts go round and round No solid ground, no steady sound [Outro]
