[Verse 1] There's a water bottle half-engraved beside the keyboard A stack of tabs I swore I'd close by ten Got a constitution drafted for a room full of strangers And a book I keep on starting up again The mountains don't move but I do Always something I'm building toward Something rough I'm picking up off the ground [Pre-Chorus] There's a season coming I can feel it in the altitude A desk in Lehi, a handshake, a new room I've been rehearsing for a version of myself I haven't met yet But I know his name [Chorus] You don't know what's inside 'til you crack it open Could be hollow, could be a cathedral in the stone Every ridge I've walked, every door I've been handed I just find the seam and I don't let go No I don't let go [Verse 2] Dad's out on the bike before the neighborhood wakes up Mom's got something rising on the counter by the stove I've been laser-burning names into the things I give to people 'Cause I want them holding something that they know And the ones I'm leading now They don't see the hours behind it Just the room that's ready when they walk through the door [Pre-Chorus] There's a season coming I can feel it in the altitude A desk in Lehi, a handshake, a new room I've been rehearsing for a version of myself I haven't met yet But I know his name [Chorus] You don't know what's inside 'til you crack it open Could be hollow, could be a cathedral in the stone Every ridge I've walked, every door I've been handed I just find the seam and I don't let go No I don't let go [Bridge] Stormlight open on my lap, the words gone soft There's a geode on the shelf I haven't touched Not every thing needs opening right now Some weight is just Enough [Chorus] You don't know what's inside 'til you crack it open Could be hollow, could be a cathedral in the stone Every ridge I've walked, every door I've been handed I just find the seam and I don't let go [Outro] There's one more on the shelf I'll get to it I always do
