The Spark Can Sleep, Right?

(Pre-Chorus)
And I know this feeling well,
That quiet pull to stay
Like if I leave it for a night,
It might just slip away.

(Chorus)
The spark can sleep, right?
It won’t fade overnight?
If I loosen my grip just a little tonight,
Will it still be there when I return to write?
I know there’s truth on either side of this
The push, the pause, the quiet in-between
I don’t need to solve it all tonight…
The spark can sleep… right?

(Verse 2)
But my hands are slowing down,
Thoughts don’t land the way they sound.
I’ve seen what pushing too far does
It takes the life out just because.
Some ideas don’t need a chase,
They just need a little space
Not every spark burns brighter
When you force the pace.

(Pre-Chorus 2)
And I’ve learned the cost of holding on
A little too long
When something soft turns brittle
Just from being held too strong.

(Chorus)
The spark can sleep, right?
It won’t fade overnight?
If I let it rest instead of holding tight,
Will it still be mine when I return to write?
I know there’s truth on either side of this
The push, the pause, the quiet in-between
I don’t need to prove it all tonight…
The spark can sleep… right?

(Bridge)
Maybe both are part of it,
Not a loss, not a split
Some nights are for holding on,
Some for letting go a bit.
It’s not failure if I pause,
Not wasted if I stay
It’s learning when to listen
To which one leads the way.

(Final Chorus)
So the spark can sleep, right?
It won’t fade from sight?
If I leave it in the quiet for a while tonight,
It will find its way back into light.
I don’t have to carry every flame
Or answer every call it makes
I can trust what’s mine to stay…
Even when I take a break.

(Outro)
The room goes still.
The line can wait.
It’s not gone
Just… resting in its shape.
(soft breath)
…right?

(Verse 1) It’s right there, just within reach, Not quite formed, but close to speech. If I stay, I might see it through Find the shape it’s leaning to. There’s a rhythm in the trying, In not stopping mid-line Some things only open up If you give them time. (Pre-Chorus) And I know this feeling well, That quiet pull to stay Like if I leave it for a night, It might just slip away. (Chorus) The spark can sleep, right? It won’t fade overnight?
