[Intro – Low acoustic strum, Hammond chord expands slowly like breath in cold air] [Verse 1 – Bare voice, deep and centered] I didn’t walk — I stayed and sank Let night surround me, quiet and blank No wind, no voice, no closing door Just hush that asked for nothing more [Verse 2 – Gentle bass pulse enters, maracas whisper in] My hands were still, but not from fear Just learning how to disappear And in that silence, low and wide I found a place I didn’t hide [Chorus – Humming harmonies swell beneath] The night that carried me It didn’t break or bleed It held me like the roots Of something buried deep [Verse 3 – Alto flute curls above, organ warms further] I never called the dawn by name It came or not — I stayed the same And when I heard your breath beside I knew I hadn’t truly died [Bridge – Humming choir and guitar drone, no lyrics] [Dark waves of harmony rise, vibrate through bone, slowly dim] [Final Chorus – Full return with gravity, not loudness] The night that carried me Still moves beneath my feet And though I wear the dark It doesn’t mean defeat [Outro – One final humming note held, flute fades into open silence]
