Corner of the Dark

[Verse 1] The lock sits out of reach I’ve tested every frame I learned the timing of the quiet And what the quiet wants to say [Chorus] This corner of the dark Has been the only thing that keeps me Pressed against the wall And lets me stay [Verse 2] Push me through the door I don’t fit this space no more A slow unspooling of the tension I can’t gather what’s left of me [Chorus] This corner of the dark Has been the only thing that keeps me Pressed against the wall And lets me stay This corner of the dark Has never lied to me I can vanish whole Inside this corner of the dark [Bridge] Holding the line… never fold it in Holding the line… never fold it in Holding the line… never fold [Verse 3] I know the moment to go still I know which voices to ignore I trust the weight of my refusal Don’t let them rewrite what I am Is there a crack left open? (No) Is there a way to leave? (No) I ask the question While I stay inside [Chorus] This corner of the dark Has been the only thing that keeps me Pressed against the wall And lets me stay This corner of the dark Has never lied to me I can vanish whole Inside this corner of the dark [Outro] The lock sits out of reach I’ve sealed every frame shut This corner of the dark Is storm just waiting to break
