I turned the wooden legs around
And let the daylight pass
The room kept moving without me
Behind my quiet back
No one had to leave me
No one had to call
I only needed somewhere
That did not look at all
Let the window keep the weather
Let the street keep walking by
I am not trying to disappear
I just need a softer side
The paint was almost yellow
The silence almost kind
I counted tiny shadows
Till they loosened up my mind
Some days have too many faces
Some rooms ask too much
I put my name down gently
Where nothing has to touch
Let the window keep the weather
Let the street keep walking by
I am not trying to disappear
I just need a softer side
I will turn back later
When the day feels less alive

Mavika Tell
A bright, slightly odd indie pop album about small objects, daily rituals, and the quiet places we give to feelings we cannot name
