Streetlights like a river running underneath my tires
Leaning out the window just to feel a little higher
Headphones on and all the noise just fades away
I’m finding quiet in the places that I used to chase

Ooh, just floating with the city
Ooh, no rush, no worries
I like the way this feels

Quiet glow, I let it show
Breathing easy as I go
Silver skies in stereo
Moving where the night is slow
Quiet glow, I’m in control
Taking care of what I know
City soft and shining low
Moving where the night is slow

Neon on the pavement like a watercolor dream
Staying in the moment where the calm runs clean
Don’t need anybody just to set the tone
Got a little peace I can call my own

Ooh, just floating with the city
Ooh, no rush, no worries
I like the way this feels

Quiet glow, I let it show
Breathing easy as I go
Silver skies in stereo
Moving where the night is slow
Quiet glow, I’m in control
Taking care of what I know
City soft and shining low
Moving where the night is slow

Moonlight staying up for me like it knows my name
I don’t need a destination when the vibe’s this same
If tomorrow wants to call, I’ll take it nice and slow
Cause tonight I’m living in the afterglow

Lights reflect, I find my pace
Nothing lost in quiet space
Every breath a sweet escape
I’m okay, I’m okay

Quiet glow, I let it show
Breathing easy as I go
Silver skies in stereo
Moving where the night is slow
Quiet glow, I’m in control
Taking care of what I know
City soft and shining low
Moving where the night is slow

Quiet Glow

어느 순간부터 모든 게 시시해졌다.
좋아하던 일도, 사람도, 계절도.
시간은 흘렀지만, 다시 뜨거워지지 않았다.

사람들은 다른 사람의 열정에 끌린다고 말하지만
내 불꽃은 오래전에 다 타버려 재만 남았다.

뜨거웠던 시절엔 내가 뱉는 말이 누군가를 다치게 할까 두려워했고,
말들을 삼키다 보니 내 안쪽이 서서히 데어버렸다.
사랑받기 어려운 온도라 더 차가워졌고,
적당히 미지근해져서 조금은 평범해졌다.

그런 날들을 지나며 썼다.
‘싱그러움은 이제 없어’

원곡 : 그_냥 - 행복할거야

(목감기라 양해 좀 해주세요...)

그냥 다 힘든 것 같은 오늘
왠지 다 내려놓고 싶은 밤
사랑은 내겐 너무 어렵고
마음대로 되는 건 하나도 없네요

아무도 내 맘을 몰라주는 것 같아
마음 편히 내 얘기를 할 수도 없어요
누군가 툭 치면 금방이라도 눈물이
터질 것만 같은 고요한 밤이지만

괜찮아 오늘 하루도 잘 견뎌낸 우리잖아
따뜻한 이불 속에 잘 들어왔잖아
걱정마 내일 하루도 잘 견뎌낼 우리잖아
지친 마음 기대도 돼 분명 우린 행복할거야

행복할거야

Red Sea quiet under desert moon
Salt dries slow on a fading wound
Shoreline trembles like a fragile breath
Counting heartbeats, measuring depth

Footprints blur where the water bends
Pages soaked, ink refusing to end
Words run wild where the silence bleeds
Paper cuts made from forgotten creeds

Currents pull where the compass splits
Shiny waves whisper counterfeit
Still can’t tell what’s real, what’s sold
Silver glimmers just before it folds

Still standing in the middle of the Red Sea
Water drawn tight on both sides of me
Echo in my ribs like a wavering plea
Listening for a voice quieter than me

흔들림 속에 잠긴 말
Float like lanterns with nowhere to land
If I step forward, will the water sway
Or close slow over what I can’t save

Burning bush flickers like a failing bulb
Light breaks soft on a dusty wall
Looks like truth but it’s hard to trust
Smoke and signal both shaped from dust

Crowd moves fast like a river possessed
Chasing echoes dressed in Sunday best
Tastes drown quiet when the noise grows loud
Every mirror cracked by the weight of the crowd

Hands shake soft where the waters split
Choice feels sharp where the tide commits
Follow the rush and the color drains
Stand still too long and the pulse remains

Standing in the middle of the Red Sea
Water drawn tight on both sides of me
Echo in my ribs like a wavering plea
Listening for a voice quieter than me

흔들림 속에 잠긴 말
Given to waves that refuse to part
If I breathe slow, will the stillness stay
Or pull me under before I can start

Pillars of salt where the past stood still
Faith tastes thin like a bitter pill
Nothing gold ever shines for long
Light fades fast when the crowd sings wrong

밤 공기 속에 남은 흔적
Soft as ash when the flames forget
Maybe hope is a narrow gate
Opened only when the clocks hesitate

Still standing in the middle of the Red Sea
No thunder, no sign, just the pulse in me
If the waves lean close, let them speak slow
I’ll wait here till the water lets go

Red Sea

Sand paints circles on the back of my hand
Wind hums low like a half-forgotten plan
Shadows stretch thin where the daylight falls
Every choice echoes off the canyon walls

Glass heat bending everything I see
Light runs wild where the truth should be
Footprints blur like they’re trying to hide
Even the horizon feels tongue-tied

Promises dance like dust in a beam
Gold till you hold it, then nothing between
Sweet turns bitter when the shine decays
I taste the silence inside that haze

Mirage in the distance waving slow
Looks like water but the closer I go
It breaks like glass underneath my feet
Truth runs thin in the desert heat

사막 위의 흔적들
Fade like names I can’t admit
If I walk further, will the shape stay true
Or vanish the moment I break through

Mirrors bloom out of nothing but air
Every reflection says I should care
Crowds cheer loud where the false lights bleed
But quiet knows what the quiet needs

Mountains hum slow like a tired hymn
Hope lights up on a fragile whim
Thirst hits deep where the soul feels dry
Even the wind sounds like asking why

Mirages born from the hunger to find
Something real past the noise in my mind
If I hold still maybe shapes align
Or break apart into separate lines

Mirage in the distance waving slow
Looks like water but the closer I go
It shatters quiet like a dropped belief
Truth cuts deep through the paper grief

사막 위의 숨결들
Soft like secrets that never fit
If I walk further, will the shape stay true
Or disappear like it always knew

Mirage

훈수 ㄴ

Clock hands carve the same old scar
Morning hits hard like a rusted bar
Coffee burns through a hollow chest
Five day storm with no place to rest

Fluorescent lights hum funeral hymns
Time drips slow through the cracks and rims
Faces blur in the factory glare
Every smile feels paper thin air

Chains don’t always rattle like steel
Sometimes they sound like a good deal
Comfort cuts deep in a velvet cage
Freedom waits somewhere past this wage

I’ve been running from the weight of routine
Dust in my lungs from the spaces between
If this is living, why’s the light so dim
Clock hits five but the night feels grim

도망치듯 숨 내뱉어
Ash falls quiet from a burning core
Door swings open like a parted sea 
Something whispers follow me

Steel doors close like a warning bell
People move fast just to hide the hell
Dreams boxed up on assembly lines
Stamped and shipped like they’re out of time

Wake, work, sleep like a circle chain
Same black rain on a windowpane
Hope feels thin like a thread pulled tight
Might snap clean if I pull tonight

Every map drawn in someone else’s hand
Every road leading back to the same command
All I own is a heartbeat’s spark
Lighting matches in the dark

I’ve been running from the weight of routine
Dust in my lungs from the spaces between
If this is living, why’s the light so dim
Clock hits five but the night feels grim

도망치듯 숨 내뱉어
Ash falls quiet from a burning core
Door swings open like a parted sea 
Something whispers follow me

Escape

Neon incense rising through the rafters
Hollow hymns rehearsed for manufactured rapture
Paper crowns trembling over borrowed halos
Mirrors warp the faces into saints and shadows
Hands lifted high but the floor keeps shaking
Hearts beat loud but the sound feels faking
Smoke curls slow like whispered scripture
Frames blur out in a holy mixture

Whisper louder, echo over
Hush now, closer, turn it over
Ring the bells, the choir’s breathing
Noise dressed up like something holy
Count to seven, break it open
Hands together, eyes still frozen
Say the words that keep repeating
Tell me if the silence’s speaking

Static trembling underneath the choir
Faith on fire but the flames grow tired
Screens glow bright like stained-glass windows
Every shout just a shadow in the echoes
Ticker tape falling like secondhand prayers
Torn confessions tangled in electrical wires
Crowd hum thick like smoke in the rafters
Praise runs thin but the pulse runs faster

Whisper louder, echo over
Hush now, closer, turn it over
Ring the bells, the choir’s breathing
Noise dressed up like something holy
Count to seven, break it open
Hands together, eyes still frozen
Say the words that keep repeating
Tell me if the silence’s speaking

Glass eyes stare, devotion borrowed
Truth runs dry in a well gone hollow
Shaking hands draw crooked halos
Grace sold cheap in plastic rainbow 
If every voice is screaming louder
Which echo do we even follow
If every signal means salvation
Why does quiet sound like sorrow

믿음처럼 보이던 것들
빛에 녹아 사라졌을 때
Silence cuts like silver
Truth tastes strange

Choir folds like waves collapsing
Pulse drifts out, the room unlatching
Heartbeats sync like forced confession
Faith bends low in quiet suppression
Golden dust settles on the altar
Hands shake slow, the echoes falter
What’s left shining when the light stops bleeding
What remains when the noise stops feeding

Whisper louder, echo over
Hush now, closer, turn it over
Ring the bells, the choir’s breathing
Noise dressed up like something holy
Count to seven, break it open
Hands together, eyes still frozen
Say the words that keep repeating
Tell me if the silence’s speaking

Tell me if the silence’s speaking

Golden Idol

Soft light leaking through a half closed window
Dust floats slow like fading halos
Coffee still warm, pages turning
Ink runs wild where the edges are burning
Heartbeat drags like a tired drummer
Clock hands sway like they lost their number
Echo left from a room once crowded
Silence blooms where the shouting clouded
Names carved faint in fogged-up glass
Not sure which ones were built to last
Chasing storms just to feel them breaking
Held my breath till the world stopped shaking

Let it fall quiet, let it fall light
Carry me slow through the afterlight
Say it soft, say it true
Make me new, make me new
Washed by stillness, baptized in white
Mercy moves gentle in the afterlight
Hold me close, hold me through
Make me new, make me new

Footprints fade on a shoreline trembling
Salt tastes sweet when the tide’s surrendering
Mountaintops hum with unspoken weather
Wind writes psalms through broken feathers
Stained glass cracked, colors bleeding
Faith grows wild when it stops needing
Maps fold twice then fall like paper
Promises wait though they come much later

Soft hands lift what the night kept hidden
Mercy grows loud where the noise was forbidden

Let it fall quiet, let it fall light
Carry me slow through the afterlight
Say it soft, say it true
Make me new, make me new
Washed by stillness, baptized in white
Mercy moves gentle in the afterlight
Hold me close, hold me through
Make me new, make me new

What’s left standing when the fire’s gone
What voice echoes when the crowd moves on
If silence sings, I want to hear
Even if it’s all unclear

숨 들이켜, 놓아줘
조용함에 잠겨
여기 있어
I’m still here

Bare feet warm on a newborn morning
Sun crawls slow without a warning
Gold turns pale when the noise stops screaming
Truth shines small but it’s finally meaning
Hands unclosed, nothing left to carry
Weight dissolves where the light feels airy
Echo’s gone but the heart keeps beating
Not alone, just completing

Let it fall quiet, let it fall light
Carry me slow through the afterlight
Say it soft, say it true
Make me new, make me new
Washed by stillness, baptized in white
Mercy moves gentle in the afterlight
When the world turns calm and the sky turns blue
Make me new, make me new
Make me new

Sill breathing
Still standing
Still here
Afterlight

Afterlight

아아아아 사실 난 궁금해
어떤 이유로 날 좋아하는지
아아아아 그럼 난 대답할게
아무 이유없이 널 좋아한다고

아아아아 정말 난 궁금해
어떤 이유로 날 사랑하는지
아아아아 그럼 난 대답할게
아무 이유없이 널 사랑한다고

잠이 안 와 오늘따라 더 편안히 누웠는데 
좋아하는 노랠 듣고 나도 잠을 이루지 못해 
어둠 속에 보이는게 없어서 그런 가 봐 
이젠 곁에 없는 네 모습이 자꾸 보이는 듯해

너를 그리고 있다가 다시 또 기억나면 
그걸로 된 거야 우린 다 된 거야 
라고서 잠들지만 아닌 걸 알아 
조금만 내가 어른스러웠다면, 
지금의 내가 대신 말할 수 있다면, 
그날로 가, 내가 미안하다 할 거야 
네가 필요할 거야 
너를 사랑할 거야

너와 싸우고서 이겼을 때 느꼈던 승리감이 
지는 것보다 훨씬 아프단 걸 깨달은 밤이 
내 인생에서 손에 꼽게 아픈 밤이었어 
못난 내 모습을 더 선명하게 보여줘서

그렇게 다 안다는 듯 이해한다는 듯이 
처음관 조금 다르게 날 쳐다보는 눈빛 
너의 미손 똑같지만 다 보이는 네 맘이
내 마음 터져 버리게 거칠게 후벼 팠지

다가오는 계절의 한기와 겉옷이 없는 나의 맘 
위에 내리는 서리와 이제 돌아가지 못할 
순간들의 기억의 조각들 

전부 지우면 행복할 수 있을까 
아니 허전할 것 같아 난 
괜히 잘 있는 척 하지만 
괜히 괜찮은 척 하지만

너를 그리고 있다가 다시 또 기억나면 
그걸로 된 거야 우린 다 된 거야 
라고서 잠들지만 아닌 걸 알아 
조금만 내가 어른스러웠다면, 
지금의 내가 대신 말할 수 있다면, 
그날로 가, 내가 미안하다 할 거야 
네가 필요할 거야 
너를 사랑할 거야

불면 (不眠)

그대의 쳐진 어깨 너머에
외롭고 추운 하루가 보여요
파도가 치고 바람이 불어도
내 안에서는 따듯하게 쉬어갈 수 있죠

난 그대 밝은 달이 되어
어두운 길을 밝혀줄게요
난 그대 푸른 바다 되어
흐르는 눈물 안아줄게요

외로운 날에 쓸쓸한 날에
부를 이름이 있다는 것
또 너에게도 그러한 날에
우린 서로의 축복이야

난 그대 밝은 달이 되어
어두운 길을 밝혀줄게요
난 그대 푸른 바다 되어
흐르는 눈물 안아줄게요

세상이 우릴 멀리하고
그대 주저앉아 눈물 흘려도
난 그대 푸른 바다 되어
흐르는 눈물 안아줄게요

등대

미안해 그때 너에게 아무 말도 할 수 없었어
유리잔보다 더 조심스럽게 보인 너라서
조금만 더 대담했다면 널 안고 있을까요
그랬다면 내 옆에 있을까요
난 평생 너를 위한 노래만 쓰다가 죽을 건가 봐
라고 중얼대며 듣는 너에 대한 노래는 lullaby
자고 일어나면 습관처럼 또 널 찾아
생각만 펼쳐보다가 인사 내일 또 봐 bye
세상을 갈라서 널 떼어도 변하지 않아
사실 잘 몰라 근데 영화에선 그러더라
집안도 없는 모래가 파도에 휩쓸려가
이 동화에선 모래는 나 파도는 너로 하자
정신 차려보니까 이천 원짜리 펜으로
또 가사를 적고 있었다
넌 이걸 모를 테지만 같은 밤하늘을
보고 있으니까 so i don't mind
거기서 별이 하나 떨어지면 단 1초라도
내 생각을 할 수도 있지만
우주가 땅으로 다 내리쳐도 내 남은 시간은
너에게만 다 쓸 테니까
미안해 그때 너에게 아무 말도 할 수 없었어
유리잔보다 더 조심스럽게 보인 너라서
조금만 더 대담했다면 널 안고 있을까요
그랬다면 내 옆에 있을까요
내 말을 유명강의 보듯 경청하던 네 모습도
그때 온도 향기 습도까지 기억하고 있어
신이 있다면 내 가진 것 전부 바치고서
그때만을 돌려달라고 중얼거렸어
처음 만들고서 네게 들려줬었던 거
바보 같던 노래는 이제 내 앨범이 되었어
두 번째 네가 좋다고 했던 그 노랜 세상에
내비치지 않을 거야 우리 얘기니까
아차 내 정신 좀 봐 컴퓨터 메모장으로
또 가사를 적고 있었다
넌 이걸 모를 테지만 같은 밤하늘을
보고 있을까 봐 좀 겁이 나
거기서 별이 하나 떨어지면 단 1초라도
내 생각을 할 수도 있지만
세상에 나 하나만 남았어도
내 남은 시간은 너에게만 다 쓸 테니까
미안해 그때는 다 말할 수 있을 것 같아서
늦었지만 다시 온다면 웃으면서 안을게
눈을 뜨면 방에 혼자 울먹인 내가 있어
여기에 네가 없어도
내 남은 시간은 너에게만 다 쓸 테니까

ONSEEON(온시온) - 그때 너에게 나는 | cover by 지학

Loose change echo in a paper cup
Streetlight trembling like it’s giving up
Laundry spinning like a memory stuck
Quiet turns heavy, I can’t get up

Coffee stains drying on a crumpled page
Blank space humming like a quiet rage
Dead phone blinking on the bedside shelf
Tired of running circles with myself

Ceiling cracks tracing maps I can’t read
Hope feels distant like a worn out creed
Cold tiles pressing on my bare feet
Every small failure echoes concrete

Round and round
Don’t fall down
Hold me still
Till it’s quiet now
Count to ten
Try again
Breathe in slow
Start again

Start again

Half tuned radio fading into snow
Static singing things I used to know
Headphones tangled like a twisted thought
Every clean slate ends up with a blot

Curtains closed but dawn still slips inside
Light pulls softly where I used to hide
Hands shake steady on the window glass
Hoping this fog doesn’t always last

Clock hands crawling through another day
Time keeps moving but I drift away
Soundcheck heartbeat thumping out of sync
Drowning in thoughts I can’t outrun or think

Round and round
Don’t fall down
Hold me still
Till it’s quiet now
Count to ten
Try again
Stay right here
We’ll start again

We’ll start again

Blank page waiting with an open door
Soft voice whispering, you’ve been here before
Every small step like a trembling note
Shaky but real in a tired throat

Build slow, stitch edges where they fray
One warm second at the edge of day
If I fall quiet, just stay near
I’m learning how to bend, not disappear

Cut up postcards, taped on the wall
Pieces of moments I wish I could call
Half written letters I never could send
Every beginning already an end

Paper boats floating in the bathroom sink
Ink runs blurry when I try to think
If I fall silent, don’t let go
I’ll find my voice when the noise runs low

Round and round
Slow me down
Keep me close
Till the walls stop loud
Count to ten
Start again
Quiet now 
I’m breathing again

Round and round
We won’t fall down
Stay right here
Till the static drowns
When it clears
Pull me through
Soft restart
I’ll start again

Start again

Start Again
