[Intro]
[Verse]
The calendar turned its pages without a sound
While I stayed rooted in the frozen ground
But in time the ice gave way
To a harder me in a lonesome grave.
Now the velvet returns to my cheeks
Like water reclaiming all the past weeks
I am unlearning the habit of staying composed
Opening doors I thought were permanently closed
Pre-Chorus:
The sharpness is fading into a familiar kinda vibe
Letting go of all the times I tried
A delicate victory to finally break
You were by far my biggest mistake
Chorus:
I remember the sting of the salt on the burn
The hard-won lessons I was forced to learn
How I swore that the granite would be my skin
And never again would I let the world in
But the stiffness is aching for a chance to bend
To find a beginning where I saw an end
[Verse]
There is a strange power in being this frail
Like giving up on you as the Holy grail.
The scars are just maps of where I have been
Reminiscing and seeing your evil grin.
Pre-Chorus:
It takes a certain courage to let the guard fall
To stand unprotected against the high wall
Your smokeless fire
Burning my endless tears, singing like the choir.
[Chorus]
The sharpness is fading into a gentle curve
I am finding the pulse and finding the nerve
How I swore that the granite would be my skin
And never again would I let the world in
But the stiffness is aching for a chance to bend
To find a beginning where I saw an end
Bridge:
Soft and white
My soul is reckoning
Finally healing
For just once
I want to feel it again.
I want to be soft.
Let go of all I lost.
Let me be
Soft.
Pre-Chorus:
The sharpness is fading into a familiar kinda vibe
Letting go of all the times I tried
A delicate victory to finally break
You were by far my biggest mistake
Chorus:
The sharpness is fading into a gentle curve
I am finding the pulse and finding the nerve
How I swore that the granite would be my skin
And never again would I let the world in
But the stiffness is aching for a chance to bend
To find a beginning where I saw an end
