Unwords lyrics

The breath stops short The heart holds still Something moves against my will A tide that pulls without a shore A door that opens to one more door Whatever this is, it knows my name It lived before me, it'll stay the same It gives nothing, it takes the rest It settles quietly inside my chest Not reaching out, not letting go Just standing at the edge of what I know Not love, not loss, not yours, not mine Not the end of something, not a sign Not a wall, not a seal Just the shape the time makes When it tries to heal Maybe there are no words Maybe this is what words become When they can't go forward And they can't be undone Everything passes, everything stays The nights keep coming in different ways What's gone still moves, what's here still fades Everything passes, everything stays Not love, not loss, not yours, not mine Not the end of something, not a sign Not a wall, not a seal Just the shape the time makes When it tries to heal Before the words, before the fall Before there was a name at all
