*Half asleep in bed😴* [Verse 1] Half-beautiful in the morning light Stumbling like I'm a drunken girl Young moons paint patterns on my skin And I'm so stupid with sincerity Walking through your strong silences Like I belong here (Background vocals: *[ethereal waves of] "belong"*) [Pre-Chorus 1] My soul folds into itself Against the weight of your perfect song And everything I am feels Less than what you need (Background vocals: layered whispers of "less than, less than" [with haunting echoes]) [Chorus] My heart's beating in trembling thirds Every word from you sends endless birds into flight Through fooled light, through empty skies Watch how the autumn breaks me down Till I'm nothing but sound (Background vocals: pulsing "thirds, thirds" [with atmospheric bird-like calls]) [Verse 2] Fear hangs in the thin air While death's eyes watch without surprise Across the harvest field And I fold myself away for winter Like petals falling at the feet Of someone stronger than love (Background vocals: *[deep, resonant] "ooh ooh ooh" [descending in pitch]*) [Pre-Chorus 2] These hours scatter like flowers Under the weight of mysteries That touch me too easily That break me completely (Background vocals: [stacked harmonies building tension with] "easily/completely") [Chorus] My heart's beating in trembling thirds Every word from you sends endless birds into flight Through fooled light, through empty skies Watch how the autumn breaks me down Till I'm nothing but sound (Background vocals: "thirds, thirds") [Bridge] Morning's sound goes quiet Noon hums deep and dark Twilight pulls at my edges Like the night's despair [Outro] What am I That your mysteries touch me so simply? My whole heart expects terror From the pale strands of your hair And I'm yearning beyond This fading light (Background vocals: [*ethereal harmonies cascading down with the words] "beyond" "light"*)
