Carry the Weight*

Verse 1

Cold glass at my window

Fog breathing in slow shapes

I count the hours folding

Into a name I can't erase

Pre-Chorus

Carry the weight

Carry the hum

Down to the root

Where the quiet comes from

Chorus

Hold the thread till it loosens

Let the pattern unwind

Every knot I keep pulling

Leaves a scar in my mind

And the floor keeps its turning

And the dark keeps its shine

Verse 2

I traced the walls with my fingers

Trying to feel for a door

Found a crack shaped like mercy

Thin as the breath I was born

Pre-Chorus

Carry the weight

Carry the hum

Down to the root

Where the quiet comes from

Chorus

Hold the thread till it loosens

Let the pattern unwind

Every knot I keep pulling

Leaves a scar in my mind

And the floor keeps its turning

And the dark keeps its shine

Bridge

I am the echo

Of a bell never rung

I am the hollow

Where the answer was sung

Soft as a feather

Sharp as a stone

Chorus

Hold the thread till it loosens

Let the pattern unwind

Every knot I keep pulling

Leaves a scar in my mind

And the floor keeps its turning

And the dark keeps its shine

And the dark keeps its shine
