Lyric

I found it in the drawer

Under dust and candle wax

A book with ash-blue edges

And a latch that clicked me back

Your name was in the margin

Like a blush across the page

I traced the ink and trembled

At the spell I knew you’d save

The room held its breath

As the window caught the gold

The paper turned to sunrise

In my hands, so warm, so old

Open the Dawn Grimoire

Open it slow

Open the Dawn Grimoire

Let the whole house glow

Open the Dawn Grimoire

Open the Dawn Grimoire

It taught me how to pardon

What the dark had made of me

How to set a small fire

In the cracks of memory

Each page became a promise

Each line a bridge of light

And every hurt I carried

Turned to ribbons in the night

Now the sky leans closer

With a silver in its hair

I hear the bells of morning

In the hush between your prayer

Open the Dawn Grimoire

Open it slow

Open the Dawn Grimoire

Let the whole house glow

Open the Dawn Grimoire

Open the Dawn Grimoire

If the ache comes calling

I will answer with your flame

If the rain keeps falling

I will write the world your name

Open the Dawn Grimoire

Open it slow

Open the Dawn Grimoire

Watch the blackened roses grow

Open the Dawn Grimoire

Open the Dawn Grimoire

Open the Dawn Grimoire

And let me go
