Lyrics: Thanatopsis by William Cullen Bryant


[Verse]
To him who in the love of Nature holds
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language; for his gayer hours
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile
And eloquence of beauty, and she glides
Into his darker musings, with a mild
And healing sympathy, that steals away
Their sharpness, ere he is aware.

[Pre-Chorus]
When thoughts
Of the last bitter hour come like a blight
Over thy spirit, and sad images
Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall,
And breathless darkness, and the narrow house,
Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart;

[Verse]
Go forth, under the open sky, and list
To Nature’s teachings, while from all around
Earth and her waters, and the depths of air,
Comes a still voice - Yet a few days, and thee
The all-beholding sun shall see no more
In all his course; nor yet in the cold ground,
Where thy pale form was laid, with many tears,
Nor in the embrace of ocean, shall exist
Thy image.

[Chorus]
Earth, that nourished thee, shall claim
Thy growth, to be resolved to earth again,
And, lost each human trace, surrendering up
Thine individual being, shalt thou go
To mix for ever with the elements,
To be a brother to the insensible rock
And to the sluggish clod, which the rude swain
Turns with his share, and treads upon. The oak
Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mould.

[Bridge]
Yet not to thine eternal resting-place
Shalt thou retire alone - nor couldst thou wish
Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down
With patriarchs of the infant world - with kings,
The powerful of the earth - the wise, the good,
Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past,
All in one mighty sepulchre.

[Verse]
The hills
Rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun, - the vales
Stretching in pensive quietness between;
The venerable woods - rivers that move
In majesty, and the complaining brooks
That make the meadows green; and, poured round all,
Old ocean’s gray and melancholy waste,
Are but the solemn decorations all
Of the great tomb of man.

[Verse]
The golden sun,
The planets, all the infinite host of heaven,
Are shining on the sad abodes of death,
Through the still lapse of ages. All that breathe
Will share thy destiny. The gay will laugh
When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care
Plod on, and each one as before will chase
His favorite phantom; yet all these shall leave
Their mirth and their employments, and shall come
And make their bed with thee.

[Chorus]
Earth, that nourished thee, shall claim
Thy growth, to be resolved to earth again,
And, lost each human trace, surrendering up
Thine individual being, shalt thou go
To mix for ever with the elements,
To be a brother to the insensible rock
And to the sluggish clod, which the rude swain
Turns with his share, and treads upon. The oak
Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mould.

[Build-Up]
As the long train
Of ages glides away, the sons of men,
The youth in life’s green spring, and he who goes
In the full strength of years, matron, and maid,
The speechless babe, and the gray-headed man
Shall one by one be gathered to thy side,
By those, who in their turn shall follow them.

[Outro]
So live, that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan, that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.

[Verse 1 — quiet, confessional]
I’m talking softer than my heartbeat,
Afraid the truth might slip too loud.
There’s a tremble in my breathing,
Like I’m learning how to feel right now.
Every word is just a whisper
Of the things I never said…
But you’re leaning in to hear me,
Like you understand the rest.

[Pre-Chorus — tension builds]
I don’t know why my chest gets heavy
When your name falls out of me—
But something shakes inside the silence,
Pulling every part of me
Into you.

[Chorus — emotional swell]
Where my voice breaks, hold me.
When my fear shakes, show me
I’m allowed to feel this much.
Pull me out of hiding
With your quiet, steady touch.
I’ve been living in the shadows,
But your light keeps pulling through—
Where my voice breaks…
I fall into you.

[Verse 2 — soft again, deeper honesty]
I’ve kept my heart behind my ribcage,
Locked away so no one knew.
But the moment that I met you,
Every wall just came unglued.
Now I’m standing here unguarded,
Letting everything unfold—
Your eyes are like a promise
Telling me it’s safe to lose control.

[Pre-Chorus — rising again]
Every breath becomes a battle
Between fear and something new—
But the shaking feels like healing
When it’s happening with you.

[Chorus — bigger, more cinematic]
Where my voice breaks, hold me.
When my fear shakes, show me
There’s a place for hearts like mine.
Lift me through the quiet
As the darkness turns to light.
I’ve been lost inside the echoes,
But you pull me back to truth—
Where my voice breaks…
I fall into you.

[Bridge — the emotional peak]
Let the room go silent,
Let the world fade out—
I want you to hear the pieces
That I never spoke out loud.
If my honesty is shaking,
Don’t turn your face away—
Touch my trembling with your courage,
Teach me how to stay.

[Final Chorus — soft → blooming → soft]
Where my voice breaks, hold me.
When my fear shakes, show me
How to trust a love this real.
If I fall, please catch me
In the places I can’t heal.
I’ve been learning how to let go
Of the things I never knew—
And every fragile part of me
Feels stronger next to you.
Where my voice breaks…
I fall… into you.

WHERE MY VOICE BREAKS

🎵 Song Title: “Run This Far”

Verse 1

We were only holding on by inches,
Talking loud but never saying much.
All the days we swore we wouldn’t lose this
Started slipping right out of our touch.

Pre-Chorus

But I feel the pull again,
Like we’re waking up from where we’ve been.

Chorus

’Cause we didn’t run this far
Just to fall at the start again.
If the distance feels too large,
We can close it before it wins.
Every step, every scar—
We carry it, heart to heart.
We didn’t run this far
Just to fall apart.

Verse 2

Heavy silence hanging in the doorway,
Both of us afraid to cross the line.
Still I see the fight behind your breathing,
Something in you reaching out to mine.

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, I feel the pull again,
And it’s stronger now than it’s ever been.

Chorus

’Cause we didn’t run this far
Just to fall at the start again.
If the distance feels too large,
We can close it before it wins.
Every step, every scar—
We carry it, heart to heart.
We didn’t run this far
Just to fall apart.

Bridge

If we break, let it break us forward.
If we stay, let it mean we choose it.
Hold your ground, don’t turn it backward—
We’ve got more than we can lose here.

Final Chorus

’Cause we didn’t run this far
Just to fall at the start again.
If the distance feels too large,
We can close it before it wins.
Every step, every scar—
We made it through, we came this far.
We didn’t run this far
Just to fall apart.

Run This Far

Whenever I wake, I'm only as heavy as the day
Which is only heavy if I stay
Which is only heavy if I stay
Whenever I wake, I'm only as heavy as the day
Which is only heavy if I stay
Which is only heavy if I stay

You know what I feel like
And what I feel like
One bed, two sides
One room, closed blinds
No plans, no drive
Just time, just time
Nothing that I really wanna talk about, no
'Cause it's too much
To explain
And now, so I just lay
so I just lay

So I stay down
Where the world can't reach me now
Yeah, I stay down
'Til I figure this all out

I hope you understand what I mean

Whenever I wake, I'm only as heavy as the day
Which is only heavy if I stay
Which is only heavy if I stay
Whenever I wake, I'm only as heavy as the day
Which is only heavy if I stay
Which is only heavy if I stay

You know what I feel like
And what I feel like
One bed, two sides
One room, closed blinds
No plans, no drive
Just time, just time
Nothing that I really wanna talk about, no
'Cause it's too much
To explain
And now, so I just lay
so I just lay

So I stay down
Where the world can't reach me now
Yeah, I stay down
'Til I figure this all out

I hope you understand what I mean

Heavy If I Stay
