The hand that stirs is the hand that fears stillness.

Art Reversed (Temperance)

(Overmixer)

[INTRO]

The hand that stirs is the hand that fears stillness.
It moves before the question forms.
It almost settles.
I stir it.
Overmixer is me.
(overmixer)

[VERSE]

Spoon turning.
I add a thought.
Add a season.
Add a rule.
Add a reason.
Liquid turns nervous.
Residue rises.
Transparency bruises.
I whip the elixir
thin as doubt.
Clarity drowns.
Lift the lid before settling.
Stir graveyard into broth.
Ghost salts wounds with theory.
“One more stir. It’s not ready.”
Crow says:
Stop stirring the alchemy.
Let it cook.

[PRE-CHORUS]

Aim.
Release.
Let the art decide.
Measure in motion.
Crow says:
Patience steadies the hand.

[CHORUS]

Overmixer.
Over-fixer.
Stir — test the texture.
Overmixer — keep it moving.
If it settles… what forms?
(Overmixer.)
I don’t know how to stop mid-stir.
(Overmixer.)

[BRIDGE]

Hold the tension.
Heat stays even.
Hands withdraw.
I allow instead of improve.
Let silence thicken.

[PRE-CHORUS]

(repeat)

[CHORUS]

(repeat)

[OUTRO]

Overmixer dissolves.
Art remains.
The hand that stirred learns to rest.
Silence thickens.
An old friend knocks at the gate.
