The Quietest Shadow

Verse 1

The coffee is brewing but the kitchen is cold

The world outside is waking up stubborn and bold

The calendar says fifteen but it reads like a lie

It feels like a movie I can't stop rewinding

The clock on the stove just blinks in the gray

As the first light of morning steals you away

Pre-Chorus

Between six and seven the sun started to rise

While the quietest shadow fell over your eyes

Chorus

Oh Mama the morning came entirely too fast

We tried to hold the sunrise to make the dawn last

Between six and seven the world cracked in two

And we're left in the daylight just looking for you

Verse 2

We look at each other your children your blood

Trying to stand through the weight of the flood

The house still wears the warmth of your breath

But the silence that lingers is heavier than death

So how does the world keep on spinning around

When the anchor we leaned on is no longer found

Pre-Chorus

Between six and seven we held onto your hands

Learning the hardest way how to make our last stand

Chorus

Oh Mama the morning came entirely too fast

We tried to hold the sunrise to make the dawn last

Between six and seven the world cracked in two

And we're left in the daylight just looking for you

Bridge

It was just one short hour a lifetime ago

A threshold you crossed where we couldn't go

We whispered we loved you we told you to rest

As the last gentle rise left your beautiful chest

Now the phone starts to ring and the day has begun

But our world ended under this September sun

Chorus

Six to seven AM the world didn't pause

It didn't pay notice to the heartbreak it caused

But we will remember the peace on your face

Goodbye precious Mama rest in your grace

Outro

It's September fifteen

And we miss you already

It's September fifteen

And we miss you already
