Unwords Lyrics by Sizelle
The breath stops short
The heart holds still
Something moves
Against my will
A tide that pulls
Without a shore
A door that opens
To one more door
Whatever this is
It knows my name
It lived before me
It’ll stay the same
It gives nothing
It takes the rest
It settles quietly
Inside my chest
Not reaching out
Not letting go
Just standing at the edge of what I know
Not love, not loss
Not yours, not mine
Not the end of something
Not a sign
Not a wall, not a seal
Just the shape the time makes
When it tries to heal
Maybe there are no words
Maybe this is what words become
When they can’t go forward
And they can’t be undone
Everything passes
Everything stays
The nights keep coming
In different ways
What’s gone still moves
What’s here still fades
Everything passes
Everything stays
Not love, not loss
Not yours, not mine
Not the end of something
Not a sign
Not a wall, not a seal
Just the shape the time makes
When it tries to heal
Before the words
Before the fall
Before there was
A name at all
