Lyric

The night is still and quiet — like a simmering pot

You don’t say a single word, just float in silent thought

In gently trembling water, warm and slowly deepening

I can’t quite read your heart — I don’t know what you're feeling

As the seconds tick, the heat creeps in

My fingers brush your surface skin

The warmth between us starts to spread

But I don't know where it ends

You — the yolk I never meant to boil

But every move I made just raised the flame

I hoped you’d stay soft, just a little unset

But I passed the point of no return

Now you’ve hardened — and I can't undo the heat

Wrapped tight in your shell, you turn and pull yourself away

Even a cold and careful bath won’t bring you back today

I try to peel you slowly, gently, soft and kind

But end up cracking something tender you were trying hard to hide

I meant no harm, I truly swear

But even the slightest touch left wear

You’re delicate — and I was careless

And now you're sealed in quiet silence

You — the yolk I touched too soon

Didn’t know I'd pushed too far

You firmed up word by word, degree by degree

Now no small kindness, no spoonful of grace

Can break your shell or reach your heart

I should’ve known you better

You were softer than you seemed

But I always bring too much heat

Too much hunger

Too little care

If I could begin again —

I’d hold you with cool hands

And keep you just tender

Right where you are
