Holiday

Tonight

He walks alone, no sound behind
Shadow in the corner of my mind
Eyes like dawn, but never stay
He looks, he turns, he fades away

That mysterious man, driftin’ slow
No one knows where he will go
Just a hum beneath the sand
That mysterious man

He hums a tune with no refrain
Soft as smoke, sweet as rain
Leaves no mark, leaves no name
Still the air won’t feel the same

That mysterious man, driftin’ slow
No one knows where he will go
Just a hum beneath the sand
That mysterious man

Maybe he’s dream, maybe he’s me
Something between sky and sea
Don’t chase, don’t plan
Just feel, that mysterious man

He’s gone again, soft and thin
Like the wind that won’t begin
Still I stand, open hand
That mysterious man

Mysterious man (Trip Hop reload)

(Laughs cold)
North Pole sent a memo?
Cute.

Verse 1

You keep your lists and ledgers.
Nice, bad — all the rest.
Count saints, count drunks, count heartbreak.
I’m not impressed.
You heard me through the static
of ten thousand messy nights.
But don’t you file me, darling —
I live far from your lights.
Call me “authentic”? Please.
You sell trinkets.
I sell truth that stings.


---

Hook

I don’t need your record — I ain’t here to be redeemed.
Stamped and sorted long before your Northern gleam.
If you caught a truth in me, pray it doesn’t stick.
I’m not on your lists, old man — just a real damn trick.
I walk my own way. Move aside. Make it quick.


---

Verse 2

You bring toys to frozen windows.
I patch wounds with sound.
Talking angels, talking risks—
spare me, I’m underground.
I don’t fall, I dive, baby.
Winter can’t break me yet.
You count sins in your workshop.
I count debts and cigarettes.


---

Pre-Chorus

I don’t speak for saints or sinners.
Never picked a side.
Truth ain’t something measured —
it’s the bruise you ride.
You saw my fire? Sweetheart,
that was only smoke.
The real stuff hollows rooms.
Leaves you coughing. Leaves you broke.


---

Hook (repeat)

I don’t need your record — I ain’t here to be redeemed.
Stamped and sorted long before your Northern gleam.
If you caught a truth in me, pray it doesn’t stick.
I’m not on your lists, old man — just a real damn trick.
I walk my own way. Move aside. Make it quick.


---

Bridge

Keep my name in silence?
Fine.
But don’t call it prayer.
Don’t call it care.
You saw me on the ledge —
just the sharp, clean edge.
You didn’t reach.
Good.
Respect lives there.
I fix my own damn messes.
Get that noted.
Clear?


---

Outro

Keep your paper.
Keep your quill.
Keep your centuries of snow.
I never asked for judgment.
Don’t need yours to know
every line I ever sang
was written in smoke and bone.
If I’m on your “Real List”…
(drops voice)
Truth’s the only thing I own.
Lights out.
Set’s done.
