       
[Prologue]
Moonlit fracture, pulled apart
Hourglass spilling at the start
Velvet morning won’t arrive
Between two nights I come alive

Fingers tracing colored glass
Reflections twist, illusions pass
I paint new hours on my skin
A hidden life I wander in

Ankles cold against the floor
A different self behind each door
Reality bends, thin and deep
I take my Watch instead of sleep

[Prelude]
Eyes open, velvet hush
Curfew fractured, time unbrushed
Glitter shadows on the pane
I stir inside the waking plane

Blinds flick silver on the wall
Body quiet, brain enthralled
Sketching dreams with open eyes
Waiting where the silence lies

[Verse 1]
Crimson slippers on the floor
I drift the world behind my door
Counting pulses, skipping schemes
Lost halfway in scattered dreams

Tea cooling on the sill
Staring out, the night is still
“Watch begins,” I think, amused
Inventing futures, lightly used

[Chorus]
Up again, the night divides
I rise between the tides
Two hours, mind ignites
Wired in the Watch tonight

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Twilight pulses through
Ooh, ooh
Halfway to the blue

[Verse 2]
City windows flicker slow
I sketch out letters nobody will know
Midnight milk, wander the hall
Dreams start and stutter, then crawl

[Pre-Chorus]
Under silver moon's decree
Questions bloom, and answers flee
A list of plans, a second start
Drawing spirals in the dark

[Chorus]
Up again, the night divides
I rise between the tides
Two hours, mind ignites
Wired in the Watch tonight

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Twilight pulses through
Ooh, ooh
Halfway to the blue

[Bridge]
barefoot in the corridor
time drips from the ceiling
shadows chain my open door
thoughts slipping, unsealing

I count the cracks, invent a clue
tell secrets to the lamp’s eye
tides inside me split in two
till the second sleep comes by

[Outro]
Hear the hum of silent clocks
every night a puzzle box
Somewhere between dusk and dawn
I find the world withdrawn

Ooh, ooh
Wired in the Watch till song is gone

[Coda]
Velvet thoughts in amber haze
Rewire time in quiet phase
Mapping dreams I never chose
Slipping through the open rows

Spectres whisper from the frame
Altered stars spell out my name
Breathing futures out of line
Caught between the folds of time

Ooh, ooh
the world asks nothing new
Ooh, ooh
waiting for the blue

[Epilogue]
Papers scatter as I pace the rug
Pages turning, still unplugged
Window open, air is thin
Tracing secrets on my skin

I rearrange the empty chairs
Invent companions unaware
Breathing rhythms, slow and deep
A second night, another leap

[Final Chorus]
Up again, let twilight slide
Slip beneath the parted tide
While the Watch is keeping tune
Spinning hours 'round the moon

[Reprise]
Ooh, ooh
Starlit avenues
Ooh, ooh
Echo into the blue

[Afterword]
Curtains shifting in the breeze
Slipper socks on ticking tiles
Other worlds just out of reach
Signals blink across the miles

I sip a thought, electric taste
Navigate a hidden space
Trace my steps along the seam
Folded hours split by dream

[Fade]
Ooh, ooh
time’s slow parade
Ooh, ooh
edge of morning made

[Postlude]
Here in pockets between sleep
I gather fragments I can keep
Restless, drifting room to room
Wired quiet, stars resume
