Bookshelf

Verse 1

I keep myself hidden, tucked away,

A book on a shelf, left for another day.

Moments fade, they turn to memories,

Pictures capturing, enrapturing me.

Pre-Chorus

Intervals of the past,

Make me feel like an outcast.

But the story’s not done,

The pages still run…

Chorus

Turn me over, let me breathe,

Read the lines I’ve kept beneath.

In the silence, hear me yearn,

My pages pleading for a turn.

I’m more than shadows in the corner,

A silent mourner, waiting longer.

Verse 2

Sitting cozy in my corner’s light,

Hardcover armor, holding tight.

Every word a quiet prayer,

Hoping someone will find me there.

Pre-Chorus

Intervals of the past,

Make me feel like an outcast.

But the ink still bleeds,

The heart still needs…

Chorus

Turn me over, let me breathe,

Read the lines I’ve kept beneath.

In the silence, hear me yearn,

My pages pleading for a turn.

I’m more than shadows in the corner,

A silent mourner, waiting longer.

Bridge

Unwritten chapters, waiting still,

A fragile hope, a quiet will.

If you open me, you’ll see,

The hidden song inside of me.

Final Chorus (lifted)

Turn me over, let me breathe,

Read the lines I’ve kept beneath.

In the silence, hear me yearn,

My pages pleading for a turn.

No longer shadows in the corner,

I’ll be a story, living stronger.
