Synthetic Soul

I kept your name where the cold air stays Under my tongue

like a quiet flame Street after street I was tracing lines Trying

to outrun what never changed You were a spark in a room

gone dim A steady hand on a shaking wire Now every window

returns your shape And every silence climbs a little higher If I

let go, will the night release me If I look up,

will the sky stay still

I can feel the weight begin to open

Right before the edge,

I want you still Stay with me in the afterglow

Hold the line when the dark runs cold

I am yours in the undertow

Heart to heart till the morning shows Stay with me when the

wide winds roll Don't let go when the hurt takes hold I

can hear us above it all

Still alive, still unbreakable

There was a time I could barely breathe Living in halves with

a borrowed light Now I can face what I couldn't name Even

the ache has a gentler side You are the thread through the

fractured seams A little gold in the fault line's break I feel

the ground turning back to warm Every step gives me more to

say

When the ceiling falls,

I'll be singing

When the old fear calls,

I'll keep leaning Into the love that remade this ruin Into the

light with my hands still shaking Stay with me in the afterglow

Hold the line when the dark runs cold

I am yours in the undertow Heart to heart till the morning

shows Stay with me when the wide winds roll Don't let go

when the hurt takes hold

I can hear us above it all

Still alive, still unbreakable Stay with me

Afterglow

Still alive

Still unbreakable
