[Title: The Glass at Zero] [Intro] Hush—hold your breath The water climbs the window White air, no footsteps The whole world turns to glass [Verse 1] A drop hangs still above my hand No ripple reaches shore The frozen blue reveals a land I never saw before My pulse is small beneath the skin A clear thread through the snow I let the colder daylight in And watch the true shape show [Pre-Chorus] Nothing moves, nothing hides The sky is open on both sides If I can see through every wall Maybe I can see my heart at all [Chorus] Make me transparent Clear as water under ice Let the buried colors surface Let the world come into sight At absolute zero All the clocks forget to turn In this crystal air, I know What is pure and what will burn [Post-Chorus] Ah-ah, clear world Ah-ah, still heart Ah-ah, white silence We become the light we are [Verse 2] The river keeps a silver flame Beneath its sealed-in skin It carries every lost name And lets the clean day in A bell rings high, then disappears The sound is locked in snow I leave behind the borrowed fears They have nowhere left to go [Pre-Chorus] Nothing moves, nothing lies The blue horizon opens wide If every fault can come to view I will not turn away from you [Chorus] Make me transparent Clear as water under ice Let the buried colors surface Let the world come into sight At absolute zero All the clocks forget to turn In this crystal air, I know What is pure and what will burn [Bridge] Whisper low: I am not hollow Whisper low: I am not gone Underneath the frozen world A warmer current carries on When the minute hand stands still When the white horizon closes I can feel a clean beginning Opening beneath the roses [Final Chorus] Make me transparent Clear as water under ice Let the buried colors surface Let the world come into sight At absolute zero Time releases every name In this crystal air, I know A clear heart can hold a flame [Outro] Hush—hold your breath The water starts to move The world is clear enough to enter And I am clear enough for you
