Slow Erosion

Drop

Language for a sorrow without name

Sorrow without name

Verse 1

Staring down the data

Searching for a sign

Logic of the leaving

Stuck inside my mind

Studied every shadow

Love has left its mark

Scholars trace the heavens

While I am in the dark

Pre-Chorus

Science of a goodbye

Silent as a prayer

Searching for the answer

Find nothing waiting there

Chorus

These tears are not dramatic things

Not thunder or collapsing wings

They are slow erosion stone endures from rain

Cost of holding tenderness

Inside a world that praises strength

And every drop becomes a language

For a sorrow without name

Verse 2

Three o'clock conviction

Sifting through the mess

Every whispered sentence

Total lack of rest

The spirit won't surrender

Evidence is clear

You're gone away forever

But still standing right here

Pre-Chorus

Mind might understand it

Soul still puts up a fight

Equations fail the theory

Deep in the middle of night

Chorus

These tears are not dramatic things

Not thunder or collapsing wings

They are slow erosion stone endures from rain

Cost of holding tenderness

Inside a world that praises strength

And every drop becomes a language

For a sorrow without name

Drop

Sorrow without name

Language without name

Bridge

Maybe it's the sequence

Maybe it's the spin

No one taught the lesson

How memories begin

Chorus

These tears are not dramatic things

Not thunder or collapsing wings

They are slow erosion stone endures from rain

Cost of holding tenderness

Inside a world that praises strength

And every drop becomes a language

For a sorrow without name
