Lyrics

every system creates friction the moment something moves something meets a little heat at the seam a little loss in the contact i called that inefficiency so i kept the speed low thinned the path cut the extra touch choices halfclosed let the motion idle stayed wide of the hit whenever i could i thought that was durability or something close a cleaner kind of motion no sparks no visible wear but friction doesn’t disappear it just goes quiet not on the surface down in the structure slow grind fine dust something beginning to thin i thought i could read the damage by reading the pace less speed less heat no movement no cost at all i didn’t know nothing was preserved it just stayed out of sight the line kept holding while the hinge went dry and i called that stable even stillness wears the system material shifts in the quiet the same contact lands with a different weight i kept calling it stable while the edges were already thinning i thought i was being careful only moving the strain out of sight every avoided hit landed anyway just further in i didn’t wear down slowly i was already thin so i kept the surface quiet and the inside took the heat another seam running warm another hinge going dry the load changing hands quietly again no clean ending just the low grind somewhere underneath still there
