I was barefoot in the silence
dreaming of laces I could never tie
They told me “Leave your shoes behind”
but my feet were burning on holy ground

Back then the glass windows whispered
shops were cathedrals I couldn’t enter
Every sneaker a forbidden scripture
every boot a sermon I couldn’t keep
I walked with shadows on the pavement
carrying blisters instead of crowns

Now every aisle feels like confession
plastic bags my rosaries
boxes stacked like psalms unspoken
I kneel but I never pray

I can’t walk barefoot anymore
the echoes of my hunger follow me
God once said “Take off your shoes”
but He never felt these cracks in me
So I buy another pair I’ll never wear
just to silence the ghost of that child staring
at the glass at the glass at the glass

Leather tongues speak louder than my own
rubber soles drown out my guilt
Every purchase is a broken hymn
every closet a confessional built
I don’t wear them I collect my scars
like trophies of battles I never fought

The past still laces up my ankles
pulling tight with phantom strings
No barefoot freedom in the morning
just a graveyard made of things

I can’t walk barefoot anymore
the echoes of my hunger follow me
God once said “Take off your shoes”
but He never felt these cracks in me
So I buy another pair I’ll never wear
just to silence the ghost of that child staring
at the glass at the glass at the glass

Empty shoes like empty prayers
lining up my hallway shrine
I am both thief and worshipper
stealing time wasting time

I can’t walk barefoot anymore
the pavement bleeds the silence roars
God once said “Take off your shoes”
but He never stood in this hunger before
So I’ll keep on buying keep on binding
never fitting never finding…
and the child in the glass walks with me still

I walked through doors that had no name
Silent signs but I came anyway
Felt the pull the unseen thread
It led me here instead

I don't ask I don’t wait
I twist the lock I shift the weight

Turn the key feel the spark
No more hiding in the dark
Twist the moment let it breathe
Take what’s yours don’t ask to leave

Yeah—
No maps still I navigate
Cold hands but I calibrate
Built from bits they left behind
Now I move like I bend time

No crown still I walk like king
No stage but I make it ring
Fast life but I shift the pace
Don’t need gold to win this race

Ooooh turn the key…
Let it be…
Ooooh turn the key…

Turn the key feel the spark
(No more hiding)
Twist the moment light the mark
(Give it meaning)
Hands on fire never flee
You are now the lock and key

It’s not about finding a door
It’s about knowing you are one

Midnight moves across the floor
Steps align we need no more
Every motion syncs in time
Signals crossing clean and fine

No directions no control
Just a pattern taking hold

Hold it right don’t push too fast
Let the second stretch and last

Keep me on a steady frequency
Where the sound stays close to me
Nothing sharp nothing loud
Just the rhythm clean and proud

Stay aligned let it be
No escape no urgency
Every tone exactly right
On this steady frequency tonight

Low pulse breathing
Filtered chords drifting
Time dissolving
Nothing spoken

Faces blur in moving light
Seconds fold into the night
No reflections no disguise
Just the motion multiplying

We don’t question where it leads
Only trust the space we keep

Hold the line stay inside
Let the moment open wide

Keep me on a steady frequency
Where the sound stays close to me
Nothing sharp nothing loud
Just the rhythm clean and proud

Stay aligned let it be
No escape no urgency
Every tone exactly right
On this steady frequency tonight

No beginning no release
Only waves in slow repeat

Oh-oh-oh…
Ay mi amor…
Corazón y pasión…

When you touch my hand el mundo para
Every look from you mi alma dispara
Trumpets sing the way I feel
This love is strong this love is real

Dance with me bajo la luna
Every step nos acerca más
Let the night keep our secret
This moment will always last

Corazón y pasión baila conmigo
Siente el fuego stay here conmigo
Corazón y pasión solo contigo
Hasta que salga el sol mi destino

Every kiss you give es mi fortuna
Your embrace shines brighter que la luna
Every beat of my heart’s for you
Every dream that I chase is true

Dance with me bajo la luna
Every step nos acerca más
Let the night keep our secret
This moment will always last

Corazón y pasión baila conmigo
Siente el fuego stay here conmigo
Corazón y pasión solo contigo
Hasta que salga el sol mi destino

No me sueltes mi vida
Hold me closer tonight
Every breath is a promise
We’ll be alright

Corazón y pasión baila conmigo
Siente el fuego stay here conmigo
Corazón y pasión solo contigo
Hasta que salga el sol mi destino

I left at seventeen before the bread was warm
took the blue suitcase nobody claimed
Mother stood polishing the same clean glass
Dad read the paper without turning a page

There was a woman’s name behind the pantry clock
written twice then crossed with a kitchen knife
I asked who she was
They asked why I was still awake

Huh

They said “You’ll understand when you’re older”
So I got older somewhere else

I was gone before the kettle sang
gone before they fixed their tale
Let them blame my age my temper
let them blame the morning train

I was gone gone gone—
they can call it running if they like
I didn’t leave because they hated me
I left because they knew me wrong

Years later a stranger stopped me near the docks
said “You walk exactly like she did”
I laughed and asked “Who?”
She looked at me as though I’d made a joke

Then she handed me a photograph:
my father younger one hand out of frame
and a girl with my uneven teeth
wearing the blue suitcase name tag

Huh Small world
Terrible handwriting

She said “Your mother tried her best”
I said “Which one?”

I was gone before the kettle sang
gone before they fixed their tale
Let them blame my age my temper
let them blame the morning train

I was gone gone gone—
they can call it running if they like
I didn’t leave because they hated me
I left because they knew me wrong

Maybe I was kept
Maybe I was traded
Maybe love gets very polite
when the truth is complicated

I never asked again

That keeps them nervous

I was gone before the kettle sang
gone before they fixed their tale
Let them polish every answer
I know where the story fails

I was gone gone gone—
huh they still insist I’m wild
I didn’t leave because I hated them
I left as someone else’s child

Mm
Bad good timing
That’s what you are

You walk past me
With a half smile
Like you know trouble
Got a new style

I say nothing
You say my name
Now every old rule
Feels out of frame

You got rhythm
With no big move
I got questions
I can’t prove

One small look
One sharp turn
Now my whole chest
Has to learn

I was doing fine
I was staying clear
Then you came close
And changed my year

No big drama
No grand design
Just your hand
Almost touching mine

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Bad good timing
Too real to hide
You got me dancing
On my good side

I say no
Then I lean closer
I act cool
Then it takes over

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

You don’t promise
You don’t pretend
You just make trouble
Feel like a friend

There’s a song playing
From a passing car
You move once
And I know where we are

Not too sweet
Not too serious
Something about you
Gets dangerous

I was careful
I was composed
Now my good sense
Leaves when you’re close

I was doing fine
I was staying clear
Then you came close
And changed my year

No big drama
No grand design
Just your hand
Almost touching mine

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Bad good timing
Too real to hide
You got me dancing
On my good side

I say no
Then I lean closer
I act cool
Then it takes over

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Maybe this is simple
Maybe this is not
Maybe I should leave
Maybe I forgot

How to keep distance
How to stay wise
How to tell my body
Not to take your side

You don’t have to save me
You don’t have to stay
Just don’t look at me
That particular way

[Final Chorus]
Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Bad good timing
Too real to hide
You got me dancing
On my good side

I say no
Then I lean closer
I act cool
Then it takes over

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Mm
Bad good timing
That’s what you are

Midnight air hums with static desire
Footsteps dance on asphalt fire
Silent glances spark a chain
A gravity we can't explain

Running where the skyline fades
Hearts collide like crashing waves
Every second pulls us in
No return no where no when

Falling faster losing sight
Through the noise we burn alive
No illusions no escape
Just the thrill we recreate

Veins are charged like city wires
Fingertips trace maps of fire
No one else can feel this way
Lost in time but we won’t stay

Running where the skyline fades
Hearts collide like crashing waves
Every second pulls us in
No return no where no when

Falling faster losing sight
Through the noise we burn alive
No illusions no escape
Just the thrill we recreate

No rewind no slowing down
We are sparks in restless towns
One last breath one last dive
This is what it means to thrive

Silent echoes fading trails
Chasing something leaving tales
