Music Lyrics

The ceiling came lower

But I never bowed

The room held its breath

Like it knew me now

A clock with no hands

Kept calling my name

The moon in the window

Looked guilty and pale

I carried the quiet

Like smoke in my coat

I swallowed the thunder

And gave it a home

No choir

No witness

No light in the hall

Just a man made of midnight

Still standing tall

Tell the cold I survived it

Tell the night I stayed awake

Tell the weight on my chest

It was building my frame

I was never the ending

I was never the grave

I was the voice in the silence

That silence could not take

The cold knows my name

The night knows my face

I walked through the dark

And the dark made way

I kept my fire low

But it never went out

I made the black room sing

Till it gave me a crown

Tell the cold I survived it

Tell the night I stayed awake

Tell the weight on my chest

It was building my frame

I was never the ending

I was the sound after the break
