Lyrics

the strings are ready to strike

but do not

the piano begins

the strings sustain

the piano becomes busy

the strings remain still

a rhythm appears

but no one completes it

the piano continues

the strings move slowly

then stop

silence

the piano resumes

the strings begin again

not striking

not answering

simply holding

the tension grows

because nothing resolves
