[Intro] [Soft, breathy] Something small Moves in the dark [Verse 1] No sun has entered the room No gold has touched the glass Still, a fine dust crosses through And settles where the hours pass It gathers in the corner light A faint and wordless bloom Like all the things that wait unseen Beneath the skin of every room [Pre-Chorus] I cannot tell what wakes Or what is only turning A little ash in air A little edge of burning [Chorus] Sunless spores, drifting slow Through the blue I used to know Nothing opens, nothing dies Something stirs behind my eyes Sunless spores, pale and small Moving where the shadows fall I don’t follow, I don’t name The quiet changing all the same [Verse 2] The window keeps its silver face The street is still asleep But somewhere past the roofs and wires The black begins to thin A low note warms beneath the floor A color gathers in the grey The night does not surrender It just shifts a little way [Pre-Chorus] I cannot tell what wakes Or what is only turning A little ash in air A little edge of burning [Chorus] Sunless spores, drifting slow Through the blue I used to know Nothing opens, nothing dies Something stirs behind my eyes Sunless spores, pale and small Moving where the shadows fall I don’t follow, I don’t name The quiet changing all the same [Bridge] No promise in the pale No answer in the air Just the dark becoming thinner In a place that was always there I breathe, the room breathes back A soft exchange of weight The first light has no face yet The hour has no name [Final Chorus] Sunless spores, drifting slow Past the blue and into grey Nothing calls me from the dark Still, the dark begins to change Sunless spores, almost gone In the hush before the dawn I don’t follow, I don’t stay I let the hour turn its face [Outro] [Softly, over fading guitar and pad] Something small Moves through the dark Something small Becomes the day
