Inside the Calm

[Verse 1] The room goes still I start to brace Like the floor remembers How to lose its place A folded sky A held-back flood I read the silence Like a warning in my blood [Pre-Chorus] I don't trust peace When it lingers too long It paints a soft face On a body made wrong [Chorus] Inside the calm, I hear the hinge Inside the calm, I map the sting The wall may rise, the air may split I keep my name in the middle of it [Verse 2] I built a fence With my own hands Low enough for leaving High enough to stand But every quiet Gets teeth and stone And every victory Comes dressed like the unknown [Pre-Chorus] So I stay awake With my pulse on guard A borrowed courage In a borrowed yard [Chorus] Inside the calm, I hear the hinge Inside the calm, I map the sting The wall may rise, the air may split I keep my name in the middle of it [Bridge] If the sky comes down I'll meet it head-on No grand escape Just breath and bone And when it passes I'll still be here Not made of fear Just learning near [Final Chorus] Inside the calm, I hear the hinge Inside the calm, I map the sting The wall may rise, the air may split I keep my name in the middle of it Inside the calm, I choose my grip Inside the calm, I don't let slip A never-ending battle, yes But I am more than what it tests
