Lyrics — “I Keep the Quiet” by @elkanthe
[Intro] Easy now… Still… [Verse 1] Lay your head where the air stays thin Let the room learn your breathing Every sound outside the door Has a reason for being here Count the seconds between the ticks Don’t rush the dark away Some things move when you’re not looking Some things wait [Pre-Chorus] Close your eyes if you dare to I don’t need them open [Chorus] Hush, little one, settle down Let the walls keep their secrets If something leans a little close I’ll notice Sleep, little one, don’t ask names Don’t turn toward the corners Rest where you are Stay where you’re told [Verse 2] The floor remembers every step It knows which ones belong Every window’s been accounted for Every lock holds strong They say quiet means you’re alone That’s not how this works Stillness draws attention And attention can hurt [Pre-Chorus] You don’t need to see me To be seen [Chorus] Hush, little one, slow your thoughts Let the ceiling listen If the air feels slightly tense That’s intention Sleep, little one, stay right here Don’t test the dark with questions Trust the pause Hold your breath [Bridge] They taught you fear wears teeth and claws That care arrives with warmth But I was built to stand where cold Outlasts the storm I learned to watch without a sound To stay when others fled If danger comes, it comes through me Not you instead Breathe. [Final Chorus] Hush, little one, close your eyes You were guarded long before now Every step beyond this room Already stopped Sleep, little one, let it go The quiet isn’t empty It’s the space I keep for you [Outro] Rest now… I don’t sleep.
