Morning Still

[Intro] Morning, still Before the words Before the weight remembers my name [Verse 1] Light at the edge of the blinds Dust turning slow in the beam The kettle not yet singing Floorboards cool under my feet No angel in the doorway No voice from above Just the table, the glass, the chair And the quiet not asking for blood [Pre-Chorus] There was a time I would have called this emptiness Now I know It can also mean enough [Chorus] Morning, still Still here, still kind Still laying its pale hands down Across the same old life Morning, still Nothing solved, nothing spilled Just one more day arriving And for once I do not run from it [Verse 2] The body has a memory Of harder ways to wake Of bracing before the heart could start Of fear arriving first But today there’s only breathing A little ache, a little air And the strange plain gift Of not mistaking that for nothing The room stays ordinary The world stays unresolved And still something in me softens Enough to let it be called good [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need A sign to trust this I just need To stay long enough to feel it land [Chorus] Morning, still Still here, still kind Still laying its pale hands down Across the same old life Morning, still Nothing solved, nothing spilled Just one more day arriving And for once I do not run from it [Bridge] No grand peace No final word No life made suddenly easy Just this This hour This body This breath that makes no speech And still means stay [Final Chorus] Morning, still Still quiet, still true Still finding all the ordinary things And making them enough Morning, still No need to be more Just one more day I meet Without turning from the door Morning, still [Outro] Before the words Before the weight Morning, still
