Animal Calm at the Edge of Eternity

V5.5

[Verse 1] You stand right at the rim Of all that we can see My feet stay in my shoes But something moves in me There’s a feeling in my chest That stretches past the sky I let it fill my ribs And never ask it why [Pre-Chorus] If I move, the stars stay where they are If I speak, the planets never reel So I let my breathing count Every quiet, turning wheel [Chorus] Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do A slow and endless glow Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do Like I’m pressed against the blue Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do My stillness feels the flow Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do At the edge with you [Verse 2] The world caves into hush The air gets wide and thin My heartbeat finds its tempo And rocks beneath my skin I don’t ask for meaning now I don’t beg the light to stay I just stand inside this scale And let my body sway [Pre-Chorus] If I move, the distance stays the same If I speak, the void is just as real So I let my breathing run Like a slow and even wheel [Chorus] Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do A slow and endless glow Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do Like I’m pressed against the blue Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do My stillness feels the flow Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do At the edge with you [Bridge] I am not here to break the sky I am not here to pass beyond the frame I am only here and breathing Watching all this burning stay the same So I rest where the vast begins In the space between the skin and view [Final Chorus] Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do A slow and endless glow Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do Like I’m pressed against the blue Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do My stillness feels the flow Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do At the edge with you
