[Intro]
(Solo piano, vinyl crackle)
(Soft humming)
[Verse 1]
(Intimate vocal, very close)
The door is closed, the air is still
I’m sitting here against my will
Watching shadows dance on the wall
Waiting for a phone that won't call
[Chorus]
(Swell of Gospel Harmonies, slow groove)
(Bass enters deep and warm)
But there is peace in the stillness
A little grace in the emptiness
I don't need noise to feel alive
I’ll just breathe and survive
[Verse 2]
(Light rimshot drum, smooth flow)
Used to think I’d fade to black
Without you here to watch my back
But the morning sun is creeping in
Washing away where we have been
[Chorus]
(Full Choir Layering, emotional)
There is peace in the stillness
A little grace in the emptiness
I don't need noise to feel alive
I’ll just breathe and survive
[Bridge]
(Stripped back, piano only)
(Falsetto vocals)
Let it be quiet...
Let it be slow...
I’m learning to grow...
[Outro]
(Fade out with vocal ad-libs)
(Whispered)
Stillness.
