Still Feeling, Still Waiting

Verse 1

Lowered gently in a rain of mud

Lids close slow, weight settles on my ribs

Pulled under, earth’s black tongue

One word, one word lasts years

Lungs fill with sweet surrender

Moss memory merges with bone

Buried, not melting, not loose in the earth

Dulled ache, warmth without leaving

Small pressure always steady

Bones do not count the hours

I am held, I am quiet

Alive, not living

Chorus

Sweet earth won’t let us sleep

We turn but never tumble down

Preserved awake under amber ground

Still feeling, still waiting, forever deep

Post-Chorus

Honey seeps slow

Never gone, never slow

Honey seeps slow

Never gone, never slow

Verse 2

Roots press through my chest

Insects circle marrow, slow and hungry

Reminders, reminders looping inside

Dirt crawls closer, honey cradles nerves

Remembered voices—thin, year by year

Pressure on the corners of memory

Root veins, glassy in amber

I am memory, I am marrow

I do not thrash, cannot sink lower

Still somewhere, senses grown thick

No breaking

No rotting

Chorus

Sweet earth won’t let us sleep

We turn but never tumble down

Preserved awake under amber ground

Still feeling, still waiting, forever deep

Post-Chorus

Honey seeps slow

Never gone, never slow

Honey seeps slow

Never gone, never slow

Bridge

We wish to decay, to join the world

Still stitched closed by the syrup soil

Acceptance burns, comfort hurts

The warmest trap—never released

Chorus

Sweet earth won’t let us sleep

We turn but never tumble down

Preserved awake under amber ground

Still feeling, still waiting, forever deep

Outro

So slow

So slow

Under stone

We remain, we wait

Warmth never leaves

Silence holds tight

So slow
