Lyric

Sunset on your screen-tired eyes

Coffee gone cold

You still revise

Stacks of days blur into gray lines

You breathe out

But you don’t unwind

Lay it down

You’ve done enough for today

Let the weight slide off

Let it float away

You don’t have to hold this whole world in your hands

Close your laptop heart

Let it finally land

(Background: “you can rest now, you can rest now”)

Lunch was just crumbs at your desk

Inbox climbing like a high fence

You keep saying “just one more thing”

Till the clock forgets what time it is

Call it done

You gave all you could give

Leave those restless lists where they live

You’re not just a task on a glowing white page

Come curl up in the quiet of the fading day

(Background: “breathe in, breathe out, slow down, slow down”)

Phone still buzzes in your tired hand

Mind still running

It won’t understand

That every sprint has to end sometime

Even strong hearts need a softer night

Let it go

Let the deadlines drift

You are more than every missed tick

Kick off the hours like old worn shoes

Step into evening with nothing to prove

(Background: “you are more, you are more than the work you do”)

Dishes in the sink

Lights turned low

Your shadow sways gentle on the floor

You taste the quiet like the first rain

Almost remember your own name

Who told you you only matter

When you’re running yourself thin?

Who sold you the dream of burning

Just to keep that ceiling lit?

(Oh, not tonight, not tonight)

So lie back

Let the ceiling be the sky

Let your heartbeat find a softer time

Every breath is a small brave “I’m still here”

You’ve worked too hard

Now fall into me

My dear

(Background: “fall into rest, fall into rest, I’ve got you”)

Lights out

You’re finally off the clock

Loose thoughts tumble

Then they stop

I’ll stand guard at the edge of your sleep

You did enough today

Now drift down deep

(Yeah, drift down deep)
