Soft Dark Quiet

Verse

Shadows cast on the windows frame

Candlelight barely keeps the dark at bay

Breathe through your chest before you move

Watch how quiet it holds all this time

Pre-Chorus

Wait for the edge of that stillness to bend

Keep your weight against what has been

Chorus

Soft dark quiet, take a breath deep in there

Soft dark quiet, let the stillness show you

Soft dark quiet, nothing left but air

Soft dark quiet, let it settle on you

Verse

Pins fall slow from their spot on the board

Cushion gives under your knee once more

Floor is warm against bare soles tonight

Night's breath stays where the day lighted down

Pre-Chorus

Wait for the edge of that stillness to bend

Keep your weight against what has been

Chorus

Soft dark quiet, take a breath deep in there

Soft dark quiet, let the stillness show you

Soft dark quiet, nothing left but air

Soft dark quiet, let it settle on you

Bridge

No one's watching from the other room now

Nothing waits where your hand once was laid

Just this low space that holds all we've found

Let go of the thing it made for you

Chorus

Soft dark quiet, take a breath deep in there

Soft dark quiet, let the stillness show you

Soft dark quiet, nothing left but air

Soft dark quiet, let it settle on you
