[(Verse 1)] The letters pile up softly on the floor, Unopened envelopes beside the bed, I turn away and double-lock the door, And lean against the quietness instead. ([Verse 2)] A silent distance grows between two friends, We let the unanswered messages decay, No sharp farewell, no drama to amend, Just quiet tides that carry us away. ([Chorus)] It doesn’t roar, it doesn’t break or bend, It only waits until the daylight ends, A heavy tide that gathers in the dark, From every tiny, unremembered spark, Until the weight is more than we can bear. [(Verse 3)] Direct debit takes the monthly fee, For ghost-town gyms and channels never seen, It feels too small to fight or disagree, While energy fades out behind a screen. ([Verse 4)] The dust settles down upon the window frame, The small details we let ourselves ignore, We lose the strength to even speak a name, Or clear the shadows gathering at the door. ([Chorus)] It doesn’t roar, it doesn’t break or bend, It only waits until the daylight ends, A heavy tide that gathers in the dark, From every tiny, unremembered spark, Until the weight is more than we can bear. ([Verse 5)] Confrontation takes a sharper breath, Than weary lungs are able to supply, So silence wins a slow and gentle death, And truth goes walking quietly on by. ([Verse 6)] We tell ourselves it’s easier to rest, To leave the balance sheet and leave the strife, While invisibly the stone upon our chest Becomes the heavy anchor of a life. ([Chorus)] It doesn’t roar, it doesn’t break or bend, It only waits until the daylight ends, A heavy tide that gathers in the dark, From every tiny, unremembered spark, Until the weight is more than we can bear. ([Coda / Outro)] No sudden storm, no lightning in the sky, Just seconds slipping unnoticed through the hand, We never chose to let the current win, Or leave our ground and drift away from land, Yet here we float, unravelled at the seam, Lost in the quiet pull of the drift.......risk.....drift[then fade out]
