Beyond the Noise

Morning hanging from the rooftops First light drifting through the haze Stayed awake until the silence Finally ran out of things to say Coffee steam against the sunrise Birdsong cutting through the grey And for once I let the morning Take a little weight away And I hear you in the silence Like a rhythm soft and low Like the way you used to calm me When my mind would lose control Close your eyes Take it slow Don't forget what you already know Some pages only start to make sense When the whole book's in your hands Even all the silent spaces Shape the way the story ends But not yet Not now Stop trying to figure every single thing out Breathe in deep Hear my voice All the chapters weave together Beyond the noise Water's running down my shoulders Like it's pulling off the weight Steam still hanging in the corners While the night dissolves away Standing dressed beside the mirror Without searching for disguise Like I don't need extra layers Just to step back into life And I hear you in the silence Like a rhythm soft and low Like the way you used to calm me When my mind would lose control Close your eyes Take it slow Don't forget what you already know Some pages only start to make sense When the whole book's in your hands Even all the silent spaces Shape the way the story ends But not yet Not now Stop trying to figure every single thing out Breathe in deep Hear my voice All the chapters weave together Beyond the noise One deep breath before the handle Life is waiting just outside I'm passing softly by the mirror Wait Is that a smile It's okay I can go I won't forget what I already know Some pages only start to make sense When the whole book is in my hands Even all the silent spaces Shape the way the story ends But just not yet Just not now I'll stop figuring every single thing out I breathe deep Hear your voice All the chapters weave together Beyond the noise All the chapters weave together Beyond the noise Beyond the noise
