Weight of your shadow

Verse

I used to fear the quiet, but now we’re old friends

Sharing space in the hollow of my chest where you used to reside

I’m watching the clock hand move like a guillotine

Each second a heavy step toward a peace I haven't earned

I’ve dressed myself in my Sunday best

Just to lie down on the floor and wait for the floor to give way

If the soul is a bird, I think mine is ready for the cage to break.

Chorus

So let the oxygen turn to lead while I’m tasting your lips

I want the last thing I see to be the heaven in your eyes

If loving you was a debt, consider my life the final payment

I’m sinking into the velvet, letting the cold feel like a blanket

Bless the blade, bless the fall, bless the way you break me down

I’d rather be dead and yours than alive and mine.

Bridge

It’s a beautiful surrender, isn’t it?

To stop treading water and just let the ocean have its way

No more fighting the gravity, no more chasing the sun

Just the weight of your shadow pulling me into the ground

Where it’s dark, and it’s still, and it’s finally enough.

Outro

Don’t wake the dreamer...

The dream was better than the day.

Close the curtains, honey.

I’m ready for the credits to roll.
