Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There’s ivy in the church
Through the broken stained glass
Roots in the nursery floor
Where the children used to pass
A fox in the courthouse
Ribs of brick in the rain
Moss on the bus stop sign
Like the town forgot its name
[Pre-Chorus]
I pick through the splinters
I pick through the bone
Everything we built here
Keeps growing alone
[Chorus]
What’s left
Is still alive
What’s left
Still climbs the sky
I hold the dust
I hold it close
What’s left
What’s left
Is what I know
[Verse 2]
Blue herons on the ledge
Of the parking garage
Vines in the broken pumps
And reeds in the empty lot
A deer in the pharmacy
Nose to the shattered wall
I found my face in the glass
And it looked so small
[Pre-Chorus]
I pick through the splinters
I pick through the bone
Everything we named here
Keeps growing alone
[Chorus]
What’s left
Is still alive
What’s left
Still climbs the sky
I hold the dust
I hold it close
What’s left
What’s left
Is what I know
[Bridge]
Under the rusted bridge
Water has found its song
Catfish in the highway ditch
Moving like they belong
I wanted grief to end
I wanted ash to be blind
But the vines keep reaching up
And so do I
[Final Chorus]
What’s left
Is still alive
What’s left
Still climbs the sky
I hold the dust
I hold it close
What’s left
What’s left
Is what I know
What’s left
Still has a name
What’s left
Can bloom again
I keep the seed
I keep the hope
What’s left
What’s left
Is not alone

Style
Alternative pop with a slow half-time pulse, fractured drums, low synth drone, and sparse piano; verse stays stripped with close-mic female vocal, breathy doubles, and a dry room feel, pre-chorus opens with rising strings and filtered noise, chorus lands on a wide hook with stacked harmonies and a sub-bass swell, bridge drops to voice and field textures before the final chorus blooms with gritty percussion, distant chimes, and reversed swells. Intimate, serious, and cinematic in a bright-dusty mix., female vocals
