[Verse 1] Soft as Sunday breathing Dust dancing in the beams I stand between the columns Small beneath the scenes A word I never speak Still trembles at my tongue Silence holds a question I’ve carried since I was young [Chorus] There’s a cathedral in my chest Stained glass in every scar I kept Every crack Every ache Turns to color when it breaks If I get lost If I forget Let this old heart sing instead There’s a cathedral in my chest And it’s ringing Ringing yet [Verse 2] Names carved in the pews Dates fading into grain Candles leaning sideways Wax frozen in its flame I light one for the sorrow Another for the doubt Watch them burn together ’till I can’t sort them out [Chorus] There’s a cathedral in my chest Stained glass in every scar I kept Every crack Every ache Turns to color when it breaks If I get lost If I forget Let this old heart sing instead There’s a cathedral in my chest And it’s ringing Ringing yet
