Intro]
Whispered shadows breathe, smoke in the still
Time bends low, learning how to kneel
Breath caught heavy, a borrowed grace
Here’s where the dark learns my face
[Verse 1]
Fingers trace the air, shaking, slow
Every pause remembers what I don’t say
No need for noise when the silence knows
What I survived to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Light leaks thin through a broken seam
Unsaid words weigh more than sound
Hold this moment—don’t let it leave
Stillness is where I’m found
[Chorus]
Open wide, the night runs deep
I expand inside the space I keep
I don’t chase the dawn or beg for light
I stand steady in a silent flight
[Verse 2]
Low strings hum like a barroom prayer
Unseen hands pull memory close
Layers drift like worn-out smoke
This quiet pays what pain still owes
[Pre-Chorus]
Dark don’t bite, it teaches slow
A warm hand, a scarred embrace
I honor the night, I let it show
How patience learned my face
[Chorus]
Open wide, the night runs deep
I expand inside the space I keep
I don’t chase the dawn or beg for light
I stand steady in a silent flight
[Bridge]
Let the fracture learn to bloom
Every breath a rented room
No rush left, no mask to wear
Truth comes layered, stripped and bare
[Outro]
Silence stays, a sacred weight
Endurance bends but doesn’t break
In quiet strength, I rise, I mend
Breathing myself back again
