[Verse 1] Morning light, warm on my face But I’m not moving, I like this place Three shadows danced along the wall They had no names, I let them fall [Verse 2] They called me out, but I stayed in Love and Fame and Muse wore paper skin I turned my eyes, I closed the blinds Too tired to chase what I can’t find [Chorus] So let me drift in quiet grace No golden crown, no need to race I’m not asleep, I’m not awake I’m just the echo that dreams make And all the things I used to crave Have passed me by like ocean waves [Verse 3] My soul once burned with restless fire Now I’m the smoke of that desire Not broken — just indifferent now To every why, to every how [Pre-Chorus] I let them go, those ghostly three They had no peace to give to me [Chorus] So let me drift in quiet grace No golden crown, no need to race I’m not asleep, I’m not awake I’m just the echo that dreams make And all the things I used to crave Have passed me by like ocean waves [Bridge – ambient, layered vocals] Don’t wake me with your blazing sun This stillness is the only one Who loves me gently, leaves me whole And asks for nothing from my soul [Final Chorus – fading out gently] So let me drift, don’t call me back I’m riding soft a silver track Where nothing hurts, and nothing grows Just floating where the silence goes
