[Verse 1] The glass is freezing against my skin I watched your tires kick up the gravel I didn't move an inch from this spot Just let the silence get really loud (really loud) It’s Tuesday and I feel like a ghost The neighbor's dog is barking at nothing
[Chorus] I kept the words in my mouth Now they’re sitting there like wet stones Heavy and cold and making me sick I should’ve said something (I should’ve said something) I should’ve said something
[Verse 2] Your navy hoodie is still on the chair It smells like that orange soap you use The street lamp is the only thing awake Making the pavement look all grey and wet I wonder if you’re sleeping already Or if you’re thinking about the drive back I forgot to tell you to be safe
[Chorus] I kept the words in my mouth Now they’re sitting there like wet stones Heavy and cold and making me sick I should’ve said something (I should’ve said something) I should’ve said something
[Bridge] Maybe I’ll just move to a different city Pack my stuff and leave it in the sink My throat feels tight and actually hurts God I feel so incredibly stupid (so stupid) Why do I always do this to myself?
[Chorus] I kept the words in my mouth Now they’re sitting there like wet stones Heavy and cold and making me sick I should’ve said something (I should’ve said something) I should’ve said something
[Outro] Just the sound of the heater clicking And the dark outside the glass Wet stones (wet stones) I’m still here (still here) I'm still here
Traces Of You
Lyrics
[Intro] (Mmm) (Ooh)
[Verse 1] Something in the air just shifted A heavy sweetness I remember It brushes past my skin Like a hand I used to hold (Used to hold) But the face is just a blur
[Chorus] It is a haunting of the senses A recognition without a name I am breathing in the memory Of a love that lost its shape (Lost its shape) Stay a little longer In this soft echo (Soft echo)
[Verse 2] Cedar wood and autumn rain The scent is clinging to my collar I close my eyes to see you But the image slips away (Slipping away) I only have the feeling left (Only the feeling)
[Chorus] It is a haunting of the senses A recognition without a name I am breathing in the memory Of a love that lost its shape (Lost its shape) Stay a little longer In this soft echo
[Bridge] How can I miss what I cannot see My heart knows the rhythm Even if my mind is blank Don't leave me in the silence (Don't leave me) I surrender to the ghost of us (Surrender)
[Chorus] It is a haunting of the senses A recognition without a name I am breathing in the memory Of a love that lost its shape (Lost its shape) Stay a little longer In this soft echo
[Outro] (Soft echo) (Just a trace) It is all I have (Don't go) Just a trace of you (Mmm) (Stay) (Soft echo)
Thin Air
Lyrics
[Intro] (Ooh) (Ooh)
[Verse 1] The linen is a desert between our skin Even though the air is thick and sweet I watch the slow rise of your chest A steady tide that never reaches the sand We are lying within arm’s reach But I feel the map expanding in the dark A quiet prayer for a touch That used to come without a thought (Without a thought)
[Chorus] Quiet breathing in the dark (Counting every second) A heavy grace we cannot hold I am losing the weight of you (Losing you) In the space where the air goes thin (Where the air goes thin)
[Verse 2] You smell like the rain from this afternoon It used to feel like a sanctuary Now it just feels like a memory Vanishing before the sun comes up I try to match my lungs to yours Searching for that old syncopation But your rhythm is a foreign language That I am slowly starting to forget
[Chorus] Quiet breathing in the dark (Counting every second) A heavy grace we cannot hold I am losing the weight of you (Losing you) In the space where the air goes thin (Thin air)
[Bridge] Maybe the silence is a teacher (Is it a teacher) Showing me how to stand alone While you are right beside me It is holy and it is hollow (Hollow) (So hollow)
[Outro] Just breath (Just breath) The distance grows (It grows) Into the dark (Into the dark) (Ooh) (Wait for the light) (Thin air) (Ooh)
Pale Trace (Take 2)
Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1] Watermark on the glass Where the heat died Pressed palm Just a thin film (Paper thin) (Cold) Trace the edge With a blunt nail A dull ache In the lung Waiting for the thaw (Wait for it)
[Refrain] Endure the white Carrying the salt It won't fade It just gets clear (So clear)
[Verse 2] Spine remembers Gravity pulling Hard to the left Where you leaned Heavy and soft Damp wool Skin on skin (Still there) Counting breaths Until the room Starts to tilt Into the past (Long ago)
[Refrain] Endure the white Carrying the salt It won't fade It just gets clear (So clear)
[Bridge] Pressure in the throat Like swallowing ice Transparent Cutting through Holding the shape Of what left (Hold it) (Keep it)
[Outro] Pale Clear (Almost gone) (Gone) (Gone)
Heavy Quiet
Lyrics
[Intro] (Mmm) (Mmm)
[Verse] You shifted your weight The air felt heavy then I watched your pulse move In the hollow of your neck You didn't say a word But the silence had a shape I’m still trying to hold it Trying to make it real
[Pre-Chorus] And I wait for the shift And I feel for the heat Is it just in my head Is it just how you breathe
[Chorus] We are blurring at the edges I can’t see where you end It’s a heavy kind of quiet (Heavy kind of quiet) Keep me under the surface (Under the surface)
[Verse] Your hand brushed my sleeve A second too long to be accidental I’m reading into the space Counting the seconds you stay You look away when I look up The tension is a physical thing Like salt on the skin Like water in the lungs
[Chorus] We are blurring at the edges I can’t see where you end It’s a heavy kind of quiet (Heavy kind of quiet) Keep me under the surface (Under the surface)
[Bridge] And I look, and I miss And I want, and I wait You are a blur in the dark A shape I can't quite name (I can't name) (I can't name)
[Chorus] We are blurring at the edges I can’t see where you end It’s a heavy kind of quiet (Heavy kind of quiet) Keep me under the surface (Keep me under)
[Outro] (Under the surface) (Heavy kind of quiet) I can't see where you end (Where you end) (Mmm)
The Missing Button
Lyrics
[Intro] (Stay right here) (Right here)
[Verse] Turned the engine off The garage door settles with a thud Silk sheets are too cold when I’m solo But you’re under the wool from that shop uptown Waiting for the comedown to start My head is still spinning from the flight Too much altitude Too much recycled air
[Chorus] Just hold me down Like the gravity I keep losing Your skin smells like cedar and rain Don’t let me float back to the ceiling (Stay steady) (Don't let go)
[Verse] I’ve been in three time zones this week Living out of a black Rimowa case Everything I touch feels like plastic Until your hands find the small of my back Tracing shapes I can’t name I don’t need the expensive wine tonight The silence is finally soft Your chest moving against my shoulder Is the only clock I want to follow
[Chorus] Just hold me down Like the gravity I keep losing Your skin smells like cedar and rain Don’t let me float back to the ceiling (Stay steady) (Keep me here)
[Outro] No more motion Just the weight of your arm Across my hip (So heavy) (So safe) Keep me in the dark Where it’s warm (Right here) (Don’t move)
The Blue Dark
Lyrics
[Intro] (Mmm) (Yeah)
[Verse 1] The grass is cold through these old socks You’re leaning back, looking at the stars I’m just tracing the line of your jaw The air tastes like damp earth and salt Quiet enough to hear you breathe I guess I’m just caught in the moment
[Pre-Chorus] I have this whole vision in my head Of us in a house with a proper garden Maybe a kitchen that actually fits two Just a thought I’m having right now
[Chorus] But I’m keeping it all to myself (Keeping it all) Just watching the sky with you (Watching with you) Yeah, I’m keeping it all to myself (All to myself)
[Verse 2] You ask if I’m okay because I’m staring I just laugh and look back at the trees I won’t tell you about the names I picked Or how the kids would have your eyes That’s way too much for a Tuesday night Better to just stay right here, you know?
[Chorus] So I’m keeping it all to myself (Keeping it all) Just watching the sky with you (Watching with you) Yeah, I’m keeping it all to myself (All to myself)
[Bridge] It’s better this way, I think No expectations to ruin the mood I’ll just stay here in the blue dark Letting the maybe stay quiet While you count the satellites
[Outro] Yeah, I’m fine right here (Right here) In the silence (In the silence) Keeping it all (All to myself) Just us and the dark (Just us) (Mmm)
The Still Kingdom
Lyrics
[Intro] (Mmm) (Stillness)
[Verse 1] The world demands a version of my face That I can no longer carry for them I step back into the cool water Where the rain does not feel heavy I am turning the volume down now
[Pre-Chorus] Closing the heavy doors one by one Until the outside is a memory (Leaving it all) (Letting it go)
[Chorus] I have built a sanctuary inside Where the air is heavy and sweet A royal peace upon my brow I am finally whole and complete (So whole)
[Verse 2] It took years to plant these trees To keep the loud voices from the root I do not need to explain my breath Or why I choose to stay quiet The soil here is rich and mine
[Pre-Chorus] Closing the heavy doors one by one Until the outside is a memory (Leaving it all) (Letting it go)
[Chorus] I have built a sanctuary inside Where the air is heavy and sweet A royal peace upon my brow I am finally whole and complete (So whole)
[Bridge] Let the rest of it fall away I am not lost I am found (Found within) Deep in the roots of my soul (Oooooh)
[Chorus] I have built a sanctuary inside Where the air is heavy and sweet A royal peace upon my brow I am finally whole and complete
[Outro] Just the piano and the breath Sovereign in my own house (My own house) (Peace) Safe now (Safe)
Sky Pull
Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1] Blue ice on tongue Floating on the floor Lines become circles Slow pulse in the vein (Slow pulse in the vein)
[Chorus] Let the sky pull Until I am gone Let the sky pull (Falling up now) Let the sky pull (Falling up now)
[Verse 2] No weight on bone Drifting past the gate Every color is soft Turning inside out (Inside out)
[Chorus] Let the sky pull Until I am gone Let the sky pull (Falling up now) Let the sky pull (Falling up now)
[Bridge] And the wind And the salt And the deep And the open (And the open)
[Chorus] Let the sky pull Until I am gone Let the sky pull (Falling up now) Let the sky pull (Falling up now)
[Outro] Only the breath Only the breath (Stay here) Only the breath (Stay here) Only the breath Only the breath (Stay here)
Settled In (Acoustic)
Lyrics
[Intro] (Yeah) (Finally) It is that time right before the sun shows up When everything is just... still I am not running anymore I am right where I should be
[Verse 1] The sky is turning a pale shade of blue I am sitting out on the back porch Watching the dew settle on the grass For the first time in years I am not waiting Not waiting for a sign or a reason to stay I used to think I needed a map to find peace But it was always sitting right under my skin I am breathing slow and the air feels cold It feels like a clean start Like I am finally meeting myself for real
[Chorus] I am coming home to who I am (Coming home) No more searching in the dark (No more) I got everything I need right here It is a quiet kind of power I am settled in my own spirit (So settled) And I am not leaving again
[Verse 2] I remember when I used to be so loud Trying to prove that I was worth the space I was chasing things that did not want me back But the silence this morning is a gift I do not have to say a single word To know that I have grown through the mess The struggle made the foundation solid I am standing on ground I built myself And it does not shake when the wind hits I am solid (I am so solid now)
[Chorus] I am coming home to who I am (Coming home) No more searching in the dark (No more) I got everything I need right here It is a quiet kind of power I am settled in my own spirit (So settled) And I am not leaving again
[Bridge] Wisdom is not about having all the answers It is about being okay with the questions I am not scared of what comes next The light is breaking over the trees And I am wide awake for it (Wide awake) (I see it now)
[Chorus] I am coming home to who I am (Coming home) No more searching in the dark (No more) I got everything I need right here It is a quiet kind of power I am settled in my own spirit (So settled) And I am not leaving again
[Outro] Just me and the morning (Me and the morning) I am finally back (So good to be back) Yeah (Mmm) It is a long time coming But I am home (Home) (Yeah)
