Lyrics

At two in the morning
The house releases heat
Floorboards answer weather
Somewhere underneath
All day I wear my answers
Buttoned clean and straight
But darkness asks for nothing
And silence doesn't wait
In the small hours
I can set my name down
Let it lie beside me
Without explaining how
I don't have to stand unbroken
I don't have to know what's next
I can be the woman breathing
Not the woman they expect
My hands know every handle
Every lock I turned alone
Tonight they rest wide open
On the table's cooling stone
There's a mercy in not moving
In the hour before the birds
When a voice can leave the body
Without carrying any words
Maybe strength is not a posture
Held until the muscles ache
Maybe I can let the silence
Keep the shape I cannot fake
In the small hours
I can set my name down
Let it lie beside me
Without explaining how
I don't have to stand unbroken
I don't have to know what's next
I can be the woman breathing
Not the woman they expect
Not tonight
