Slow Collapse of Night

[Intro] A flicker in the ash-grey sky A porcelain seam splits down the day Mortar loosens, dust gives way [Verse 1] A fortress mortared out of held-back breath Stacked every tear behind my teeth A quiet oath in a wintered chest To hide the wreckage from the rest The blueprints bled in summer rain An empty field where walls had lain [Pre-Chorus] I traced the fault lines with shaking hands A map of nights I couldn't stand Watched powder fall from borrowed pride A thin warm spark I tried to hide [Chorus] Letting Go Letting go in a voice so low Letting go, feel the cinders glow Letting go of what I owe [Verse 2] The hallway hums with what we said Low-lit ghosts around the bed Every word I swallowed whole Settled heavy in my throat Then something loosened in my lungs Air I hadn’t breathed in months [Bridge] Like late sun cutting through the rain Gold on glass and windowpane Brick by brick the barricade Falls in quiet, unafraid The grip it had begins to slide Room enough to step outside [Chorus] Letting Go Letting go, not whispering now Letting go, I’m learning how Letting go, I’m breaking ground [Outro] Just letting go… Letting… go…
