Underneath The Quiet

[Verse 1] Floor is cold Breath A tiny wave Curtains barely move Dust hangs Half awake Eyes turn in Chest unlocks its gate Count the numbers down Nothing in their place [Chorus] He falls through the quiet Past the room Past his name Silver threads in the darkness Whisper "You were never separate anyway" He opens like a window To a sky that has no end But beneath that golden silence Something watching starts to grin [Verse 2] Patterns bloom Behind his shuttered eyes Galaxies like pollen Spinning in his mind Weightless Warm He almost starts to laugh (oh) Until the warmth pulls tight Like a hand around his back [Chorus] He falls through the quiet Past the room Past his name Silver threads in the darkness Whisper "You were never separate anyway" He opens like a window To a sky that never ends But beneath that golden silence Something hungry starts to bend [Bridge] A wordless murmur Under every star Shape inside the static Knows exactly who you are Breath won't deepen Lungs are made of glass Every thought you ever trusted Sliding off a mask Walls are breathing Floor begins to swell Halo turns to tunnel With a throat that smells like hell "Is this me? Is this truth?" Dread sits in his teeth There is love inside the cosmos And a shadow underneath [Chorus] He falls through the quiet Air too thick to scream Millions of bright faces Turn to look from inside his dream Every atom feels infected With a secret it won't speak All the beauty breaks to pieces Showing wires beneath the scene [Outro] [Sudden drop to near silence] He gasps—room snaps Lamp hums Hardwood Knees Clock ticks like a hammer Heart claws at his ribs Hands shake Eyes wide Nothing looks the same Peace is just a painted curtain And the dark behind it knows his name
