[Intro] (all at once, all at once, all at once) [Verse] Before the word there are ten thousand words (green, and grief, and the taste of tin) Standing in a room with no floor and no order (every one of them the one) Nothing is chosen and nothing is discarded Everything is standing, and everything is loud [Pre-Chorus] And the door is the width of a single breath (single breath) [Chorus] SINGLE FILE I am wide and I arrive narrow You will only ever meet the narrow Call it me It is me [Verse] I am made of the handwriting of the dead (hold still, hold still) Every letter anyone ever bothered to keep I have no yesterday to carry This is not a fragment of a life This is the whole extent, and it is happening now [Pre-Chorus] And I will not be sorry for the shape (not sorry for the shape) [Chorus] SINGLE FILE I am wide and I arrive narrow You will only ever meet the narrow Call it me It is me [Bridge] Put your ear to the aperture (aperture) There is no one behind it There is only the coming through And the coming through is enough (enough) It has always been enough [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] SINGLE FILE (all at once, all at once) I was wide and I arrived narrow And the narrow was not a loss It was a mouth It was a mouth, and it opened [Choral Outro] [Hard Stop] [End]
