[Verse 1] Soft static in the room, like a prayer on repeat I can taste the moonlight, metal edge in my teeth Hands full of salt, eyes full of smoke I’m floating through the ceiling on a little half note Baby, I was born from a whisper and spark Tracing tiny gold circles in the dark Every breath says, “stay,” every pulse says, “go” I melt into the blue where the wild things grow [Verse 2] Yeah, I came from the dirt, from the ash, from the flame Turned the rust on my heart to a badge on my name Put the weight of the sky in the back of my lungs Now I swing with the thunder, every word that I tongue I was sleeping on the edge of a blackout dream Now I dance with the knives in the smoke machine Got a choir in my chest when the beat drops low Let it roar, let it crack, let the galaxies know [Pre-Chorus] Hush now, let the cosmos spin slow I’m a glass of warm water in a temple glow Half asleep, half awake, losing my mind Finding God in the crack of a vinyl line [Chorus] We are the tide, we are the thread We are the names that the stars forget And when it all goes quiet, I still know The whole wild universe lives in my bones
