You breathe in
Counting the cracks in the ceiling
Say you're fine
But your fingers betray you
I fold up
Every apology carefully
Like paper i'll burn
When i finally leave
We are a cold choir
Singing to a dark room
Mouths full of ashes
Hearts out of tune
If this is forgiveness
Why does it feel like doom
We are a cold choir
Echoing through you
You stay still
Watching the steam on the window
Your eyes talk
Louder than anything you say
I stay close
Measuring space by your shadow
Both of us here
And already far away
We are a cold choir
Singing to a dark room
Mouths full of ashes
Hearts out of tune
If this is redemption
Why does it bruise me blue
We are a cold choir
Echoing through you
Tell me
Are we saving
Or just staying
Words like winter rain
Find the open places
Tell me
Are you leaving
Or just fading
Your silence writes my name
On empty faces
We answer every question
With another wound
Another wound
We are a cold choir
Singing to a dark room
Mouths full of ashes
Hearts out of tune
If this is our ending
Let it cut straight through
We are a cold choir
Breaking inside you
We are a cold choir
Falling out of view
