Still Here lyrics

The clock's a liar in the silent room A shadow stretching out its gloom You count the cracks upon the ceiling's face And measure time you feel you can't retrace The weight you carry has no shape or name Just tired bones beneath a silent flame And every step feels like a sinking floor A fight to face what yesterday's wounds are for But before you turn to stone Just look down at your hands, and see the dust Feel the breath in your chest, because you must After every night you never thought you'd see After every broken piece you had to be You are the proof You are the proof Just being here is proof You didn't build a castle, just a wall You didn't hear a saving clarion call You simply stayed when staying was the war And bore the unbearable a minute more The road ahead is just a fading light But you're still walking through the longest night And though the story's written in the scars And every ending feels like: Who you are But before you let it go Just look down at your hands, and see the dust Feel the breath in your chest, because you must After every night you never thought you'd see After every broken piece you had to be You are the proof You are the proof Just being here is proof You are not late This is not fate You didn't fail This is the trail The middle is the map, the sacred, human place You never lost your right to start from right here, in this space So let the old words break: Not enough: Too late: The end The only truth that matters now is you're still here, my friend So look down at your hands (see the dust) Feel the breath in your chest (because you must) After every night you never thought you'd see After every broken piece you had to be You are the proof (You are the living proof) You are the proof Just breathing here is proof So let the night be gentle, let the weight be still You have done a harder thing than any mountain you will climb Just be And let that be enough, this time Just be And know that you are proof, this time
