FALLEN FEATHER

INTRO — THE FIRST FALL [Instrumental] VERSE 1 — THE OPEN PALM The sky was heavy, the wind was cold, Frost on the windows, dusk taking hold. I stood alone, gripping my jacket tight, Pacing the floorboards late into the night. I didn't ask for a sudden thaw, Just a quiet corner where I could breathe. Then through the grey, a silent drift, A slow descent, an unearned gift. No shifting earth, no sudden flare, Just a breath of softness in the air. You didn't ask for anything, Just the gentle shelter my hands could bring. SHORT MOMENT — THE STILLNESS [Silence] CHORUS 1 — FALLEN FEATHER My fallen feather, frayed and torn, Where the bitter winds cut, you kept me warm. You landed softly on my open palm, And brought my weary pulse to calm. If the wind returns, I'll hold you tight, A breathless weight in the freezing night. INSTRUMENTAL BREAK — THE BREATH [Instrumental] VERSE 2 — THE SHELTER You didn't fall to break or tear, You danced upon the freezing air. A serendipity I couldn't plan, Resting so lightly in a calloused hand. I used to brace for every blow, Now I could finally let my shoulders go. We built a stillness, a sheltered space, Where the heavy world slowed its pace. No armor needed, nothing to defend, Just a breathless peace I thought would never end. A feather's weight, yet it held me down, The quietest anchor I had found. But even a feather answers to the air, And some things cannot stay just because we care. I swore to be your steady place... I never knew what the wind would take. INSTRUMENTAL BREAK — THE WEIGHT OF SILENCE [Instrumental] VERSE 3 — THROUGH THE STORM The drafts grew cold, the skies turned grey, I tried to push the wind away. I closed my hands to keep you warm, But how do you shelter a feather from a storm? The harder I held, the more you'd slip, A gentle phantom through my grip. You were never meant for a heavy hand, Just a fleeting grace across frozen land. INSTRUMENTAL BREAK — THE LAST BREATH [Instrumental] BREAKDOWN — LET THE WIND TAKE YOU Fly on... my fallen feather... Fly on... I'll just remember the quiet... When we were together... INSTRUMENTAL BREAK — AFTER THE FLIGHT [Instrumental] FINAL CHORUS — WEIGHTLESS FLIGHT My fallen feather, frayed and torn, For a fleeting moment, you kept me warm. You landed softly on my open palm, And taught my weary heart to calm. Now the wind returns into the night, But I still feel your weightless flight.
