[Intro] white room blue pulse one breath counted one breath lost white room blue pulse somebody opens where nobody knocks [Verse 1] you were warm in the ordinary light keys in the bowl shoes by the door I was far in the machinery under the hum under the floor somewhere a hand moved over us not like a god not like a thief more like a shadow crossing water more like a wire pulled through sleep [Pre-Chorus] hold still hold still the dark has teeth but it sings so clean hold still hold still there’s a door in the body where no door should be [Chorus] and the light changed hands without a sound your blood went quiet my heart came round two names loosened two lives unpinned one breath out and the other breath in [Verse 2] you were called by all your windows morning in pieces bread on a plate I was kept by closing flowers a room with no season a face with no weight then the air bent backwards then the bed became a sea then the mouth said nothing but the soul said leave [Pre-Chorus] hold still hold still the dark has teeth but it sings so clean hold still hold still there’s a door in the body where no door should be [Chorus] and the light changed hands without a sound your blood went quiet my heart came round two names loosened two lives unpinned one breath out and the other breath in [Bridge] not a cure not a crime not a mercy not this time not a prayer not a test just a thread through the ribs through the chest and nobody saw and nobody chose the river opened the river closed [Final Chorus] then the light changed hands without a sound your blood went quiet my heart came round two names loosened two lives unpinned one breath out and the other breath in [Outro] white room blue pulse wrong sky new lungs white room blue pulse wake up wake up
