Lyric

Crowd around the velvet rail

Stillness hiding in the hail

A sudden empty on the floor

Where your laugh had been before

Now I wear the night as shield

Marching through the crowded field

Every step learns not to sink

Every breath refuses brink

Under that midnight shimmer

Old scenes tremble, then shimmer

Hands of time can't fence me in

Something in my chest says begin

Heart in a torn-wing lantern

Still burns through the shattered weather

Loss tried to flood the harbor

Still, this soul won't go under

Move, move, past the ache

Dance until the ache gives way

Memory, stay in the chest

Love turns wreckage into crest

Your shadow thins at the edge

Mine grows steady on the ledge

What was broken finds a frame

What was grief gets a new name

Under that midnight shimmer

Old scenes tremble, then shimmer

Hands of time can't fence me in

Something in my chest says begin

Heart in a torn-wing lantern

Still burns through the shattered weather

Loss tried to flood the harbor

Still, this soul won't go under

Move, move, past the ache

Dance until the ache gives way

Memory, stay in the chest

Love turns wreckage into crest

Let the old ache burn low

Let the softened ember glow

A scar can be a compass

Pointing past the ruin, onward

Heart in a torn-wing lantern

Still burns through the shattered weather

Loss tried to flood the harbor

Still, this soul won't go under

Move, move, past the ache

Dance until the ache gives way

Memory, stay in the chest

Love turns wreckage into crest
