[Verse 1] I know the room where silence settles heavy in the air Where even footsteps sound too loud beside the weight that’s there I know the kind of quiet that arrives after the grief When every wound burns out so slowly It starts resembling peace
[Pre-Chorus] They said come back Come back to us But healing doesn’t happen Just because somebody asks
[Chorus] When the world breathes You don’t have to answer right away When the world breathes You don’t have to force yourself to stay the same Silence can be shelter Silence can be rest But don’t mistake surviving For the only life that’s left
When the world breathes I’ll sit beside the quiet with you
[Verse 2] I know exhaustion wearing the shape of resignation I know how numbness starts to feel like resolution And maybe after every scream and every breaking wave The soul just wants a room untouched A silence safe enough to stay
[Pre-Chorus] But even winter Makes room for spring And even buried hearts Still remember how to feel something
[Chorus] When the world breathes You don’t have to fear the stillness anymore When the world breathes It isn’t asking you to become who you were before The silence doesn’t own you The silence isn’t all you are It’s just the space where wounded souls Begin to hear their hearts again
When the world breathes The darkness loosens slowly
[Bridge — near a cappella] Maybe that’s the difference between silence and surrender
Silence listens
Surrender disappears
And I know you’ve carried quiet Like a funeral inside your chest But there is a kind of stillness That heals Instead of destroys what’s left
[build]
[Final Chorus] When the world breathes Let the morning enter one small piece at a time When the world breathes You don’t have to drag yourself back into the light Just open one window Just loosen one locked door And let the air remind your heart There is still a world beyond the war
When the world breathes You are allowed to breathe too
[Outro — spoken softly] Say something when you’re ready.
…
I’ll wait.
