The Shape of Allow. lyrics by #drpatty2e

(Verse 1) There’s a quiet in the storm that I cannot outrun, A heartbeat hiding somewhere, bleeding on the sun. I tried to stitch up shadows, make maps of the scars, Though some things can’t be mended; they’re spoken in the stars. (Chorus) So I’m learning to speak the language of rain, Let it fall without drowning in the weight or the pain. Not fighting the flood, not building a dam, Just letting the water carve more of who I really am. (Verse 2) In the echo of hollow distance, I wanted to fill, There’s a softness that settles when I lie quite still. A shadow that dances just out of my reach, And if I let it rhyme, I hear what it might teach. (Chorus) And I’m learning to hear the whisper of stone, Soft in its silence, and steady and known. A voice in the quiet, unmoved by the storm, Showing me how to take shape, in water I transform. (Bridge) This isn’t surrender, but a truce with my past, An unfurling of truth I’d hidden too fast. It’s not a healing, or blessing, or curse, Just knowing I’ll stay here, not for better not for worse. (Verse 3) The sharpest edges soften when I stop the disguise, No armor, no answers, no need for soft lies. I carry the weight like a leader unseen, Learning to live in the mercy of between. (Chorus) So I’m finding the beauty in holding the ache, Letting it whisper, letting it break. Not bound to the urge to escape or hide, Allowing the silence stir waters inside. (Outro) In the hollow, in the dark, where the wildest me grows, In a place beyond fixing, beyond what I know. Accepting, allowing, like rivers that glide, A field where I meet myself on the other side.
