Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Hands on my chest Counting the cracks in my breath You say “Stay” I fold like paper in the rain [Verse 1] Soft light on your collarbone Coffee stains on your phone You laugh Then look away Like you’re scared you might stay I trace circles in your palm Tiny storms under calm Every tremor Every flinch Says you’re closer than an inch [Pre-Chorus] You’re talking like you’re leaving But your pupils keep on reaching Every word a loaded gun Every heartbeat out of sync Then— [Chorus] [full band slams in Low vocal register] You make the quiet loud You drag the heavens down I’m on my knees in a hallway Shaking Vessels of the quiet Bleeding through the riot Fragile when the floor starts breaking You make the quiet loud [Verse 2] [drop back to soft Whispered vocals] You sit cross-legged on the floor Lip split from the night before Say you’re tired of the war But you’re lacing up once more I see sermons in your scars Tiny burning paper stars Every bruise Every line Spells a prayer that sounds like mine [Pre-Chorus] Your hands around my halo Pull me into your tornado You say “I don’t wanna drown” But you dive and drag me down Then— [Chorus] [Bridge] [guitars choke out; drums on tom groove Building] Tell me Are we holy Or just lonely with better excuses Are we something sacred Or two broken things that got used to the bruises [whispered] Say my name like you mean it Say my name like you mean it [crescendo Heavy drop Screamed ad-libs under sung line] I am not your savior I am just your mirror Showing you the chaos You’ve been hiding from the river [Chorus] [Chorus]

Verses stay intimate with intricate hi-hat patterns and ghost-note snare; choruses slam with halftime kicks, tom runs, and stacked harmonies. Dynamic drops, whispered ad-libs, and sudden silence shifts keep the tension elastic and devotional., sleep, soft
