[Verse 1] I trace the word in my mouth Like frost on a windowpane Seraphis on my tongue Soft thunder after rain It bends like gold in candle smoke A name that never sits still One part feather, one part flame One part of something sacred [Pre-Chorus] Say it slow Let it glow Feel it open in the dark Say it low Like you know It was waiting from the start [Chorus] Seraphis, Seraphis Burns like a silver thread Seraphis, Seraphis Stays where the breath has fed It rings like glass It turns like silk It leaves a mark that won’t go thin Seraphis, Seraphis Hear the shape within [Verse 2] There’s a curve in every sound A halo under the skin I hear old doors in the vowels And a clean bright pull within Not loud, not sharp, just near enough To change the air in a room Like fingertips on the edge Of a moonlit loom [Pre-Chorus] Say it slow Let it glow Feel it open in the dark Say it low Like you know It was waiting from the start [Chorus] Seraphis, Seraphis Burns like a silver thread Seraphis, Seraphis Stays where the breath has fed It rings like glass It turns like silk It leaves a mark that won’t go thin Seraphis, Seraphis Hear the shape within [Bridge] If a word can hold a spark Then this one keeps the flame It cuts the night to something soft And answers to its name [Final Chorus] Seraphis, Seraphis Burns like a silver thread Seraphis, Seraphis Stays where the breath has fed It rings like glass It turns like silk It leaves a mark that won’t go thin Seraphis, Seraphis Hear the shape within
