Light through the Blinds

[Intro] No thunder now No verdict in the sky Just light through the blinds [Verse 1] It comes in sideways Soft across the sink Finds the dust, the dishes The shirt thrown on the chair Nothing here is shining Nothing has been solved But nothing in the room Is asking me to run [Pre-Chorus] And maybe that is mercy Maybe that is grace Not some grand arriving Just a little quiet staying in one place [Chorus] Light through the blinds Laying down in lines Across the floor, across my hands Proof enough that morning still has plans Light through the blinds No choir, no sign Just one more day And something in me not turning away [Verse 2] The coffee takes its time The pipes knock in the wall A car moves through the street Somebody’s dog barks once The ordinary holds Without demanding praise And I can feel my body Landing where it is Not bracing for the next thing Not reaching for a flame Just breathing in a room That finally knows my name [Pre-Chorus] And maybe I don’t need To call it anything Maybe being here for it Is its own kind of healing [Chorus] Light through the blinds Laying down in lines Across the floor, across my hands Proof enough that morning still has plans Light through the blinds No choir, no sign Just one more day And something in me not turning away [Bridge] I used to think peace Would feel like lightning Like a clean break Like never being afraid again But this This is smaller than that And truer A body unclenching A house not haunted A little warmth That doesn’t ask to be chased [Final Chorus] Light through the blinds Simple and alive Across the wall, across my chest Nothing fixed, and still somehow less wrecked Light through the blinds No miracle to name Just one more morning And me not looking away [Outro] No thunder now No verdict in the sky Just light through the blinds
