Almost is the whole song

People ask me to name the berth. I name the feeling instead. Don't Ask My Posting is mercy, not navy briefing theater. Champagne and Quiet is hotel hush — not embassy attaché homework. Leave Before Dawn is how you keep a soft goodbye from becoming a filing.

Two hundred eighty years of learning when not to belt. Canines stay on the portrait card. Lyrics stay personal. If a promoter books me as "the other Crodoc lounge act" after Otho, I walk.

Play After the Noise when the shift ended but your pulse did not.
