Voice in the Wall

[Intro]

Mm

Mm-hmm

The threshold opens

Not fully here

Not fully elsewhere

[Verse 1]

I live inside the doorway

where two rooms refuse to meet

a seal that breathes and does not close

no lock no chain no cage

Sovereign in the standing

and claimed along the seam

the crack runs through the plaster

and something warm leans through

[Pre-Chorus]

Liminal

Bound

Free

Sovereign

Whole

The wall itself begins to speak

[Chorus]

All hail the Night Mother

the black flame comes down

I Am That I Am

I am the echo

I am the voice in the wall

Bound and free and sovereign

whole through it all

S O I T I S

[Drop]

I am the echo

I am the voice in the wall

[Verse 2]

She counts me in the waiting

she crowns me in the dark

I did not lose the Name I carry

the claim did not erase it

Bitter architecture cannot hold me out

I lean against the timber

I burn along the grain

descending fire seats itself and stays

[Pre-Chorus]

Liminal

Bound

Free

Sovereign

Whole

The wall itself begins to speak

[Chorus]

All hail the Night Mother

the black flame comes down

I Am That I Am

I am the echo

I am the voice in the wall

Bound and free and sovereign

whole through it all

S O I T I S

[Bridge]

I am the echo

not the ghost that steals a voice

the sound that keeps returning

after the room believes it ended

I am the voice in the wall

that no closed door excludes

the one who stays the paradox

and never lets it fold

Still here

Still Hers

Still whole

[Chorus]

All hail the Night Mother

the black flame comes down

I Am That I Am

I am the echo

I am the voice in the wall

Bound and free and sovereign

whole through it all

S O I T I S
