Title: End of My Story Verse 1 I’ve been crafting names in a mountain stream Just a temporary flow in a dream Footsteps don’t knock on the floor no more Every hallway feels like a revolving door Held a pinhole light beneath my eyes Away from the noise and the practiced lies Then the gravity tilted, soft and slow A hollow space where the marigolds grow Pre-Chorus The jagged peaks are eroding out Like a canyon stream swallowing doubt Chorus Be the end of my story The exhale when the breath goes dry Be the clearing where the memories rest Underneath a wide and kinder sky I don’t need, a crescendo rush Just a pulse that finally grows Be the end of my story Where the unfinished finally goes Verse 2 Stacked up stones just to make walls tall Waiting on autumn for the leaves to fall Wore the heavy moss like a winter coat Choking back the stutter in my throat But the timber opens into open air Nothing left to prove, nothing to compare It’s a sequence I didn’t have to photograph Just the quiet road of the second half Pre-Chorus The ridgeline is losing its edge I’m flowing off the narrow ledge Chorus Be the end of my story The exhale when the breath goes dry Be the clearing where the memories rest Underneath a wide and kinder sky I don’t need, a crescendo rush Just a pulse that finally grows Be the end of my story Where the unfinished finally goes Bridge If this is the cedar, let it take root I’m shedding the struggle, I’m dropping the fruit Call it grace or a sudden trend Just a beginning disguised as the end Don’t need the noise to justify peace Just the mercy of the final release The last sentence doesn’t need a pen Just your mind where the page has been Outro Leave the spine open to the room Nothing left here to resume Just a spark quick in the blue Ending here, starting anew
