Jacob

[Verse 1] Jacob, you came in quiet With that old blue hoodie on Your laugh, a tremor, a warning spark The room fractured, then gone You kept your hands in your pockets deep Concealing the nascent flame But when your voice, a low growl, spoke my name Reality twisted, rearranged [Pre-Chorus] Now I glimpse you in the shadows My defenses crumble, unwind One glance, and this hardened spirit Unravels, leaving sense behind [Chorus] Jacob, Jacob, stand by me now Jacob, Jacob, your presence, a vow You wield this power In my darkest hour Jacob, Jacob, speak my name loud ( Jacob ) And banish the encroaching shroud [Verse 2] That booth at Benny's, scarred and cold Where we shared the fractured light You etched a symbol on my napkin A prophecy in the fading night And when the tempest lashed the glass You just smiled, a chilling grace Said, "If this journey takes its course No turning back, no trace." [Pre-Chorus] Now I glimpse you in the shadows My defenses crumble, unwind One glance, and this hardened spirit Unravels, leaving sense behind [Chorus] Jacob, Jacob, stand by me now Jacob, Jacob, your presence, a vow You wield this power In my darkest hour Jacob, Jacob, speak my name loud ( Jacob ) And banish the encroaching shroud [Bridge] Perhaps it's the way you pierce the noise Unveiling the truth beneath Perhaps it's the stillness you command A momentary, vital breath Should chaos rise, and malice reign Be the fortress I can find Jacob, seize my hand, a pact unbreakable Leave the cruel world behind [Chorus] Jacob, Jacob, stand by me now Jacob, Jacob, your presence, a vow You wield this power In my darkest hour Jacob, Jacob, speak my name loud ( Jacob ) And banish the encroaching shroud
