shams al-ma'arif - rakefire impala lyrics

[verse 1]
he was a quiet man once, calm in belief
counting his prayers with a trembling grief
found an old book where the dust ran deep
words like fire that refused to sleep
the cover was sunburnt, the ink ran thin
names of angels, diagrams within
he said it looked more math than sin
but the lines kept pulling him in

[bridge 1]
the symbols whispered soft as thread
they hummed like something half*awake, half*dead
he only read for peace of mind
but peace was something he’d never find

[chorus 1]
who’s knocking on the wall at three
is it faith, or is it me
i’ve seen this place, i’ve seen this key
a drawer, a prayer, a symphony
they’re calling from inside the seams

[verse 2]
floral walls in electric air
old motel rooms that were never there
a drawer left open, a folded sign
written in ink that refused to dry
rust*bit lamps and a ghost of smoke
he woke to the scent that the dream invoked
then saw that same d*mn room in the day
and the talisman just where it lay
[bridge 2]
he thought, this can’t be what i dreamed
but the paper hummed when he picked its seam
and the more he found, the less he slept
the more the pattern crept and crept

[chorus 2]
who’s knocking on the wall at three
a rhythm learned by memory
i trace each sign, geometry
till every line points back at me
and something answers faithfully

[bridge 3]
align the squares, the path is near
the hum of faith, the hum of fear
at three come forth, and draw the sign
between the walls, we intertwine

[verse 3]
he built the pattern, line by line
drunk on rhythm, deaf to time
he said the silence began to ring
that the walls began remembering
each motel room a verse, a prayer
a piece of him left folded there
and every night, a knock, then two
then silence just waiting for the third to come through
[chorus 3]
who’s knocking on the wall at three
the voice sounds just like memory
it says my name so tenderly
like it’s been waiting here for me

[verse 4]
he checked in one last time, half*awake, half*gone
didn’t know what town, didn’t care which dawn
he wrote his story to prove he could feel
but the pen dug deeper than something real
opened the drawer, just looking for a pen
found a notebook waiting there again
same handwriting, same tale retold
every breath, every word, already cold
the final line read clear, precise
he looks up now. don’t turn your eyes

[chorus 4]
i’m knocking on the wall at three
he took my name and set me free
now every drawer that hides a sign
becomes his hand entangled mine
the seams between us bleed unseen
