Lyric

A gray seal rests on the counter

Like winter held in place

The room keeps every answer

In a hollow stretch of space

The hands stay still at first light

While silence learns to stay

A bruise can teach the lungs

How deep a breath can go

This chest became a harbor

For a storm that cannot show

A sealed letter, a sealed letter

Holds the fault and the flame

A hidden ember, a hidden ember

Still warms this ruined frame

This ache turns soft as dawnwater

This ache turns soft as dawnwater

The choice arrived in plain clothes

No thunder, just a sign

Yet even final chapters

Can draw a silver line

The heart grew room for wreckage

And room for morning air

A bruise can teach the lungs

How deep a breath can go

This chest became a harbor

For a storm that cannot show

A sealed letter, A sealed letter

Holds the fault and the flame

A hidden ember, a hidden ember

Still warms this ruined frame

This ache turns soft as dawnwater

This ache turns soft as dawnwater

Let the old ache fall open

Like soil after rain

What broke the gate of feeling

Also raised the pane

Now the dark is only weather

Passing through a wider sky

A sealed letter, A sealed letter

Holds the fault and the flame

A hidden ember, a hidden ember

Still warms this ruined frame

This ache turns soft as dawnwater

This ache turns soft as dawnwater
