Avalanche

(Verse 1)

I didn’t see the architecture fracture,

I was lost within the lace upon the bed.

One heavy breath, the world outside surrendered,

And the ceiling turned to silver overhead.

I fell straight into the avalanche of you,

Until the woman I had been was left for dead.

(Chorus)

The weight hit hard, with cold and heavy mercy,

It stripped me of my pulse and bone.

I felt the crush,

the silence,

the pressure,

The darkest grace that I have ever known.

I didn’t die beneath the crystalized moment.

I only learned to breathe when not alone.

(Verse 2)

You didn’t come with secrets or with flowers,

You came just like the winter, unannounced.

To claim the debts of every lonely hour,

Until the very moment that you pounced.

It didn't break my spirit or my shadow,

It only took my pride and that didn't count.

Chorus)

The weight hit hard, with cold and heavy mercy,

It stripped me of my pulse and bone.

I felt the crush,

the silence,

the pressure,

The darkest grace that I have ever known.

I didn’t die beneath the crystalized moment.

I only learned to breathe when not alone.

(Bridge)

My fingers traced the salt upon your shoulder,

As we drifted through the silt and toward the truth

I left the ghost of all my old defenses,

In the quiet, tangled wreckage of you

Chorus)

The weight hit hard, with cold and heavy mercy,

It stripped me of my pulse and bone.

I felt the crush,

the silence,

the pressure,

The darkest grace that I have ever known.

I didn’t die beneath the crystalized moment.

I only learned to breathe when not alone.

(Outro)

I stepped into the avalanche of you,

And I emerged with nothing left to hide.

Not broken by the fever or the falling—

But finally evolved against your side.
