[Verse 1] Sitting on the steps where the wood is cold The sky is turning that heavy shade of gray Everything we said is still hanging in the air Like the smoke from the pit that died out I'm just watching the way the dew settles On the rusted chairs we left out there
[Chorus] It's that quiet part when the stars go back And I ain't ready to let the feeling go But the sun don't care about what we had It's just coming on anyway (Coming on anyway) Yeah, it's just coming on
[Verse 2] You went inside and I heard the door click I'm still out here trying to keep the warmth Holding onto the way your hands felt Before the world started waking up again It ain't about being lonely or nothing I just like how we were an hour ago
[Chorus] It's that quiet part when the stars go back And I ain't ready to let the feeling go But the sun don't care about what we had It's just coming on anyway (Coming on anyway) Yeah, it's just coming on
[Bridge] The blue is turning into something pale I can see the birds moving in the trees Everything is starting to get loud And the magic we had is getting thin It's getting real thin now
[Chorus] It's that quiet part when the stars go back And I ain't ready to let the feeling go But the sun don't care about what we had It's just coming on anyway (Coming on anyway) Yeah, it's just coming on
[Outro] Letting it go now (Letting it go) The night is finished But I still feel you Yeah, I still feel you right here In the quiet (In the quiet) Before the day gets heavy Before the day starts (Mmm, mmm)
On The Table
Lyrics
[Intro] (Mmm, yeah) (Just let it be)
[Verse] I kick my boots toward the front door frame The floorboards feel cool underneath my feet Everything that happened since the sun came up It feels like a heavy coat I’m ready to shed I poured a glass of water and stood still Watching the way the surface finally stops moving (Finally stops moving)
[Chorus] I’m gon’ leave it right here on the table Beside the keys and all the loose change I ain't taking none of it to the mattress Today is finished and I’m letting it go (Gently letting it go) (Yeah, I’m letting it go)
[Verse] I know I didn’t say the right words earlier That look you gave me felt like a bruise Usually I’d stay up and try to fix the math But the numbers don't add up when I’m this tired I’m unzipping the worry and laying it down The kitchen light is dim enough for me now
[Chorus] I’m gon’ leave it right here on the table Beside the keys and all the loose change I ain't taking none of it to the mattress Today is finished and I’m letting it go (Gently letting it go) (Let it go)
[Bridge] The house is settling into the foundation Making those little clicking sounds in the dark It knows when the work is finally over And I’m trying to learn how to listen (I’m listening now)
[Chorus] I’m gon’ leave it right here on the table Beside the keys and all the loose change I ain't taking none of it to the mattress Today is finished and I’m letting it go (Gently letting it go)
[Outro] Put it down now (Put it all down) It’s alright to leave it right there (Leave it there) The day is done, the peace is here (So much peace) Tomorrow is gon’ have its own problems (Its own problems) But tonight I’m just gon’ breathe (Just breathe) (Mmm, let it go) (Let it all go)
Orange Pulse
Lyrics
[Intro] (Ooh, ooh) (Let it go) (Slowly now)
[Verse 1] The heavy air is finally starting to lift Leaving the noise of the day in the rearview My shoulders drop an inch with every mile I am watching the timed intervals of the lamps They wash over the glass like warm water Cleaning off the grit from the afternoon (Cleaning it all off) The tires make a low sound on the asphalt It feels like a rhythm for my racing pulse
[Chorus] One lamp, two lamps, three I am leaving the heavy parts of me On the side of the road, by the trees The orange pulse is setting me free (Setting me free) Just a soft rhythm in the dark Calming down my restless heart
[Verse 2] I can smell the rain coming from the coast Cool air through the gap in the window I do not have to answer any questions tonight The silence is a heavy blanket I am wearing My skin feels different when I am alone Less tight, less like a cage I was stuck in (So much lighter now) The dashboard is the only truth I need
[Chorus] One lamp, two lamps, three I am leaving the heavy parts of me On the side of the road, by the trees The orange pulse is setting me free (Setting me free) Just a soft rhythm in the dark Calming down my restless heart
[Outro] (Almost there) Passing through the quiet (Let it drift away) Dissolving in the orange light (Fade away) Just the rhythm Just the pulse (Ooh, ooh) (Peace now)
The Price Of Peace
Lyrics
[Intro] (Mmm) (Oh)
[Verse 1] The sky turns grey above the oak trees I watch your hand resting on your knee A heavy truth sits upon my tongue I keep it tucked away until you leave The air is cool against my skin now We are survivors of another long night I could change everything with a single breath But I choose to let the moment pass
[Pre-Chorus] It feels like a stone in my chest Taking up the space where I breathe I choose to let you have your rest (I let you rest)
[Chorus] I am carrying the weight of what remains unsaid Let the silence be the price I pay To keep the peace within this room tonight I hold the dark so you can keep the light (The price I pay)
[Verse 2] You look at me with eyes full of trust I could break our world with just a sound But I am a queen of keeping my own soul The fire stays contained within my spirit We have worked too hard for this foundation To let a sudden storm wash it all away I will be the anchor in the rising tide (The anchor)
[Pre-Chorus] It feels like a stone in my chest Taking up the space where I breathe I choose to let you have your rest (I let you rest)
[Chorus] I am carrying the weight of what remains unsaid Let the silence be the price I pay To keep the peace within this room tonight I hold the dark so you can keep the light (I hold the dark)
[Bridge] Maybe the quiet is loud enough to hear Maybe you see the burden in my eyes But I will not be the one to speak it I surrender to the weight of my love (Surrender)
[Chorus] I am carrying the weight of what remains unsaid Let the silence be the price I pay To keep the peace within this room tonight I hold the dark so you can keep the light (The price I pay) (So you can keep the light)
[Outro] The sun is coming up over the pavement I carry it (I carry it) The weight of it (Mmm) The heavy peace (The heavy peace) Until the night returns again (Oh)
Wind Closing
Lyrics
[Intro] (Mmm) (Softly)
[Verse 1] Twilight paints the ceiling blue Cool air presses through the screen I release the hours I carried Like stones dropped into a pond The trees are bowing to the North Accepting the shift in the tide
[Chorus] The wind is closing the day (The wind is closing) A soft sigh against the glass (Closing the day)
[Verse 2] Rooted deep within this breath The spectrum fades to charcoal grey No need for heat or frantic pace The cadence of the leaves is enough Every burden finds its wings Flying toward the dark horizon
[Outro] (Let it go) (The wind is closing) (Let it drift) (Softly)
Velvet Sinking
Lyrics
[Verse] I can hear you talking But the words are getting soft Like they are wrapped in wool I’m trying to keep my head up It is just... everything feels heavy You said something about your day And I nodded But I think my eyes were closed for a second Just a second
[Pre-Chorus] I don’t want to miss this The way the lamp hits your face But the room is blurring at the edges Everything is turning to velvet
[Chorus] I’m melting Weightless but sinking down Don’t let the curtain fall yet I’m staying awake for you (Just for you) I’m staying awake (Almost there)
[Verse 2] My pulse is slow A quiet thud against the mattress You moved your arm And it felt like a mountain shifting I’m not even tired, honestly I just need to rest my neck Maybe for a minute Or maybe two
[Chorus] I’m melting Weightless but sinking down Don’t let the curtain fall yet I’m staying awake for you (Just for you) I’m staying awake (Almost there)
[Bridge] Wait What was that last part? Say it again Lower I’m listening I promise I am listening (Are you?)
[Outro] The dark is coming in from the corners Sweet and thick Like honey I’m right here (Right here) Just... (Falling) Falling (Falling) Not yet (Not yet) Okay Now
The Long Breath
Lyrics
[Intro] (Mmmmm) (Mmmmm)
[Verse 1] The floor is cold under my feet The lamp is the only thing on I'm letting my shoulders drop Everything feels slow now I am not looking at the door I am not waiting for a knock Just the feeling of the carpet Just the way the air moves
[Chorus] Just a long breath in (Inhale) Just a long breath out (Exhale) Leaving it all right here Leaving it all right here I am starting over now (Starting over)
[Verse 2] The day was a lot of noise People asking for things I don't have I'm letting the oxygen do the work Filtering out the mess It doesn't matter what they said The silence is a choice I'm making I'm staying in this chair Until I feel like myself again (Until I feel like me)
[Chorus] Just a long breath in (Inhale) Just a long breath out (Exhale) Leaving it all right here Leaving it all right here I am starting over now (Right now)
[Outro] Exhale (Let it go) Exhale (Let it go) I'm okay right here Just me And the air (Just the air) (Mmmmm)
Pale Bruise
Lyrics
[Intro] (Ooh) (Stay right here)
[Verse] The grass is damp against my ankles Sinking into the soft dark soil My Levi’s are worn at the knees I’m leaning on the cedar fence The air smells like lavender and rain It’s heavy It’s quiet enough to hear my own breath I don’t want to go inside yet The hallway light is too bright It looks like a sharp white blade Cutting through the peace I found
[Refrain] So I’ll say it soft See you tomorrow (See you tomorrow) Even if I’m not ready To let the sun break the ceiling (Don't let it break) I’ll just stay a little longer Holding onto the cooling air
[Verse] The street lamp is a pale bruise High above the empty gravel road I can hear a car far off on the highway Heading toward a morning I’m avoiding The ice has melted in my glass Leaving a ring on the wood I’m just watching the water bead Tracing the edge with a thumb Everything is perfect because it's ending The silence is a heavy blanket And I’m finally warm enough
[Refrain] So I’ll say it soft See you tomorrow (See you tomorrow) Even if I’m not ready To let the sun break the ceiling (Don't let it break) I’ll just stay a little longer Holding onto the cooling air
[Outro] (See you tomorrow) (Tomorrow) The sky is turning charcoal I’m closing the door now (Softly) (So softly) Wait for me there (Wait for me) Wait for me (Mmm)
The Rising Blue
Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1] Rushing water slowing down Edges blur across the floor Weight of sound begins to lift Falling soft against the glass (Soft against the glass)
[Chorus] Let the river turn to stone Quiet in the rising blue All the spinning falls away Deep and clear and wide (Deep and wide)
[Verse 2] Pale prism in the sky Color washing through the grey Heavy pulse is thin and light Caught inside a silver breath (Silver breath)
[Bridge] Slowly settling Slowly settling Into the crystal Into the crystal (Falling still)
[Chorus] Let the river turn to stone Quiet in the rising blue All the spinning falls away Deep and clear and wide
[Outro] Become the surface Become the surface Become the surface (Deep and wide) (Become the surface) Become the surface Become the surface
Carry The Heat
Lyrics
[Intro] (Mmm) (Holding on to the peace)
[Verse 1] I sat on the porch steps until the sky bruised The wood beneath my palms is still breathing Holding the memory of a long afternoon The earth keeps what the sun gave away I don't need a lamp to find my center I just feel the heavy air settling in the grass Like a blanket woven from hours well spent Nothing is lost when the color fades
[Chorus] Carry the heat (Carry the heat) The spirit stays warm in the dark A quiet promise for a new start Carry the heat
[Verse 2] People spend their lives chasing shiny things Buying a peace that breaks before morning But I found my wealth in the silence of the soil In the way the roots don't panic when it's dim My skin remembers the touch of the light It sinks deep into the marrow and the bone Healing is the labor we do while we rest Trusting the circle to bring the vision home
[Chorus] Carry the heat (Keep it inside) The spirit stays warm in the dark A quiet promise for a new start Carry the heat
[Bridge] It is the internal fire that guides us Not a flicker from a match or a candle We are the architects of our own calm Letting the residue of today Fuel the courage of our tomorrow (Fuel the soul) (It never leaves)
[Outro] Still warm in the morning (Still warm) I can feel the resonance (It stays) Tracing the curve of the horizon (It stays) Love is a boomerang Peace is the destination (Wait for the rise) Keep the ember breathing (Breathing) (Mmm) Just carry the heat (Carry the heat) (Carry the heat) (It stays) (It stays) (Always) (Always) (Mmm)
