The Room Shifts

[Pre-Chorus]
Fire bends, but never breaks,
Air goes still, the old earth shakes,
Water pulls against the shore,
Like it’s heard that sound before.

[Chorus]
Oh, the room shifts by a degree,
The tide forgets where it should be,
The flames burn blue, the wind turns cold,
Some things are felt, but never told.
The earth stays quiet, the skies turn strange,
Four little elements rearrange,
And I just watch the candle glow,
Some things the whole world seems to know.

[Verse 2]
The flowers close before the night,
The birds take off without a flight
Of warning words or thunder cries,
Just something changing in the skies.
The river takes the longer way,
The sunlight loses half its day,
And every compass, every flame,
Forgets the north without a name.

[Pre-Chorus]
Fire bends, but never breaks,
Air goes still, the old earth shakes,
Water pulls against the shore,
Like it’s heard that sound before.

[Bridge]
No storm announced, no warning bell,
Just a change no words can tell,
The mountain knows, the ocean hears,
The wind remembers what it fears.
I won't ask the sky to explain,
Or teach the sunshine how to reign,
I'll let the elements decide
What stays ashore and what takes tide.

[Final Chorus]
The room shifts by a degree,
But the world still turns around me,
Let the fire dance, let the cold wind blow,
Let the deep blue waters flow.
The earth stays steady beneath my feet,
I keep my rhythm, I keep my beat,
And when the four winds change their tune,
I'll still be standing in my room.

[Outro]
Fire knows.
The water shows.
The earth stays still.
The cold wind blows.

[Verse 1] The candle leans without a breeze, The branches whisper through the trees, The floorboards hold a different sound, Like something turned the world around. The kettle sings a lower tune, A shadow crosses afternoon, And every window draws a breath, Like summer standing next to death. [Pre-Chorus] Fire bends, but never breaks, Air goes still, the old earth shakes, Water pulls against the shore, Like it’s heard that sound before. [Chorus] Oh, the room shifts by a degree, The tide forgets where it should be, The flames burn blue, the wind turns cold, Some things are felt, but never told. The earth stays quiet, the skies turn strange, Four little elements rearrange, And I just watch the candle glow, Some things the whole world seems to know. [Verse 2] The flowers close before the night, The birds take off without a flight Of warning words or thunder cries, Just something changing in the skies. The river takes the longer way, The sunlight loses half its day, And every compass, every flame, Forgets the north without a name.
