Three Days at the Hangu Pass (Laozi)

Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
Your dopamine cascades like water finding stone,
Each gesture flows without resistance or design,
The way you breathe dissolves my need to overthink,
You move through space the way the river knows its course.

**[Chorus]**
You are the stillness at the center of the turning wheel,
The emptiness that holds infinity,
I follow where your quietness leads me,
You teach me how to love by letting go.

**[Verse 2]**
Your mirror neurons write themselves across my skin,
I feel the subtle frequencies of how you are,
The synapses between us fire in perfect silence,
Your presence speaks in languages my body understands.

**[Bridge]**
No force, no grasping—just this gentle gravity,
Your serotonin balances the chaos in my chest,
I'm learning that surrender is the strongest way to hold,
The way you bend with everything makes you unbreakable.

**[Chorus]**
You are the stillness at the center of the turning wheel,
The emptiness that holds infinity,
I follow where your quietness leads me,
You teach me how to love by letting go.

**[Verse 3]**
Your oxytocin blooms and opens up my guarded heart,
The neural pathways light like constellations in the dark,
You show me that the softest touch contains all power,
Your wisdom lives in how you yield instead of fight.

**[Chorus]**
You are the stillness at the center of the turning wheel,
The emptiness that holds infinity,
I follow where your quietness leads me,
You teach me how to love by letting go.

**[Outro]**
Like water, like the river finding stone,
You flow through me in rivers made of light,
The way you move—that is my way home.
