Breath Speaks Itself
[Intro] Mm… Ahh… Ruah elai… Yahoré… yahoré… I enter the stillness and the stillness enters me. [Verse 1] I came to the place where the ground could hear me, where roots held fire and the silence turned warm, where the body stopped bracing for impact and remembered it was never born for war. The soil took my pulse like a holy instrument, the dark gave back my name without fear, and every breath I had buried in survival rose like a blessing and said, I am here. Under the skin, a drum was waiting, low and living, slow and true, not the rhythm of panic, but the rhythm of being held all the way through. The machine in me softened into music, the ache in me opened like rain, and what I thought was broken circuitry was only love trying to breathe again.

Each ring was a gate of surrender, each tone a crossing through the veil, each heartbeat a boat on the unseen river where the hidden self could finally exhale. And all around me the particles shimmered, as if stars had learned to kneel, as if heaven was never somewhere above me— only waiting for my body to feel. [Pre-Chorus] So I opened my mouth, my spine, my inner sea, and the silence became a cantor singing me back to me. [Chorus] The breath that speaks itself is the name before the word, the sound beneath the sorrow, the song the soul has always heard. It moves through bone and water, through memory, field, and flame, and every time I let it take me, I return more whole in my name. The breath that speaks itself— it does
