Stillness with Teeth
A gripping finale that redefines silence as something alive, sharp, and haunting.

[Verse 1]
At first, the quiet felt like peace,
A soft escape, a sweet release.
But silence changed, it grew too loud —
It started breathing like a crowd.

Now every moment stretched too thin,
Feels like a war I hold within.

[Chorus]
It’s stillness with teeth,
It bites when I'm alone.
The shadows creep beneath
The calm I used to own.
It waits in every room I cross,
In every breath, in every loss.
What once felt soft now cuts beneath...
It’s stillness with teeth.

[Verse 2]
I used to find rest in the dusk,
But now it wears a stranger's musk.
The ticking clock sounds like a threat,
Counting all the things I regret.

No wind, no voice, no lullaby,
Just me and truth I can't deny.

[Chorus]
It’s stillness with teeth,
A predator in disguise.
Wearing silence like a wreath,
But hiding fire in its eyes.
It haunts the corners of my mind,
Where memories rewind.
It doesn’t cry, it doesn’t grieve...
Just stillness with teeth.

[Bridge]
You think healing comes in quiet days,
But pain can dress in subtle ways.
It doesn’t scream — it waits instead,
Then sinks its fangs in what you’ve said.

[Final Chorus]
It’s stillness with teeth,
No mercy in its hold.
It chews through every lie beneath
The stories that I told.
I stand in silence, sharp and wide,
Nowhere left to run or hide.
Alone, beneath the aching sheath...
Of stillness with teeth.

LYRICS

You’re a boat in the ocean of everything that you reach for
It’s sea of
Your perceptions

And it’s filling up, giving a human a reason to give in
Overflowing
With intention

Why are you trying 
To fit in a box that nobody opens
Just sittin’ on a shelf
All black and white
Your colors and your shapes 
Are golden 
You’re golden child
Why are you trying
To fit in a box that nobody opens
Your colors and your shapes
Are golden
You’re golden child

Keep swimming on, pushing for, picking up what you think will
Make you better
Make them want you

But what about all of the beautiful sights you’re missing
When you’re looking
What's ahead instead of what’s around

Why are you trying 
To fit in a box that nobody opens
Just sittin’ on a shelf
All black and white
Your colors and your shapes 
Are golden 
You’re golden child
Why are you trying
To fit in a box that nobody opens
Your colors and your shapes
Are golden
You’re golden child
