Let Me Breathe

Lyrics

Verse 1
On the side of the waking, the moon had a name,
A silver pulse in a field of flame.
They saw the omen in the ordinary rain,
A crown in the sorrow, a song in the pain.

Pre-Chorus
I felt it turn
Behind my eyes
A hidden room
With no disguise

Chorus
Mirror of Awake
Mirror of Sleep
Open the door
Inside me
Mirror of Awake
Mirror of Sleep
Say my name slow
And let me breathe

Verse 2
Your shadow leaned in from the corner of my mind,
Soft as a secret that I left behind.
Every cracked hour kept a little gold,
Every locked memory wanted to be told.

Pre-Chorus
I heard the frame
Begin to hum
The sealed-up dark
Came undone

Chorus
Mirror of Awake
Mirror of Sleep
Open the door
Inside me
Mirror of Awake
Mirror of Sleep
Say my name slow
And let me breathe

Bridge
If I fall through,
Hold my hand
There’s a waking place
I understand
The night can bend
The glass can clear
I am the one
Still standing here

Final Chorus
Mirror of Awake
Mirror of Sleep
Open the door
Inside me
Mirror of Awake
Mirror of Sleep
Say my name slow
And let me breathe
