[Verse 1] I heard a voice beneath the floor Soft as breath behind a door It called my name the way night calls Without a sound at all I asked it why it lingered here Through every hope and every fear It answered like the turning sea You cannot bury me [Chorus] So I sit with the dark And I listen awhile To the shape of the silence To the weight of its smile There’s a language below What I wanted to hide And the more that I hear it The less I divide [Verse 2] It showed me every broken frame Every wound I never named Not to pull me further down But to turn me around It said the shadow isn’t wrong It’s where the unheard learns its song And every place you could not face Still carries grace [Chorus] So I sit with the dark And I loosen my hands Let it speak without turning Into something to ban There’s a truth in the ache There’s a peace in the fight When I stop trying to leave it It begins to grow light [Bridge] You are not what you fear You are what remains After sitting still enough To hear your hidden name [Final Chorus] Now I sit with the dark Like an old trusted friend And the silence between us Doesn’t ask me to mend It just waits and it breathes And it stays by my side Till the shadow and I Have nothing to hide
