Lyric

At blue hour, I was bent but breathing

Carried my storms like a borrowed name

The day left dust in the folds of my skin

Still I walked on, still I came

Every step was a small reconciliation

Every crack let the light get in

I learned the bruise can be a teacher

And the hurt can loosen and begin

So I let it pass through me

Like weather over stone

What tried to break my rhythm

Could not make me all alone

We rise, we rise

Out of the ache

We rise, we rise

For the ones we make

Blue hour medicine

Hold me together

Blue hour medicine

We last through the weather

By the long day, the room turned hungry

Promises bent under watchful eyes

I kept my balance on the thin wire

Where one wrong step can spoil the skies

I learned the quiet kind of caution

Not every door deserves your key

Some smiles are dressed in borrowed sugar

Some roads turn sharp when they look easy

I kept my fire in a small hard circle

Not to hide it, just to keep it true

If you move with care through the brittle hours

The wild part in you pulls through

So I let it pass through me

Like weather over stone

What tried to break my rhythm

Could not make me all alone

We rise, we rise

Out of the ache

We rise, we rise

For the ones we make

Blue hour medicine

Hold me together

Blue hour medicine

We last through the weather

Then you came in like a warm tide turning

Not a blaze, just a steady kind

You looked at me like I was worth the tending

Like my scars were part of the design

No grand parade, no crown, no thunder

Just two slow hearts in the same small room

You taught my doubt to speak less loudly

You made my winter loosen and bloom

Across the line where the old years gather

I heard the voices that carried on

Not in the blood, but in the motion

In the way we choose to keep being strong

So I let it pass through me

Like weather over stone

What tried to break my rhythm

Could not make me all alone

We rise, we rise

Out of the ache

We rise, we rise

For the ones we make

Blue hour medicine

Hold me together

Blue hour medicine

We last through the weather

Late night, when the room goes quiet

And every fear gets tall and plain

I place my hands on the shattered pieces

And I do not call it shame

I call it proof I stayed through the cutting

I call it proof I still can mend

If love is a flame in a covered lantern

Then we are the wind and the hands that bend

Oh-oh, keep breathing

Oh-oh, keep moving

Oh-oh, keep healing

Oh-oh, keep choosing

We rise, we rise

Out of the ache

We rise, we rise

For the ones we make

Blue hour medicine

Hold me together

Blue hour medicine

We last through the weather

Blue hour medicine

Come close, stay tender

Blue hour medicine

We outlast the splinter

On an ordinary night

On a day that never asked our names

We learned the wound can turn to roadwork

And the heart can learn to stay the same
