Hold It In

[Verse]
I bit my tongue like a secret spell
The weight of words a silent well
The moon hangs low like a heavy sigh
I close my eyes but I can’t say why

[Prechorus]
The stars
They flicker like they know
A rhythm rising
Soft and slow

[Chorus]
I hold it in
I hold it tight
Like fireflies trapped in jars of light
If I let it go
Will I begin
Or will the world stop if I hold it in

[Verse 2]
A shadow dances across the floor
I hear the creak of an unseen door
The air it hums with something near
A fleeting thought I can’t quite hear

[Prechorus]
The clock
It ticks but won’t reveal
The ache
The pull
The things I feel

[Chorus]
I hold it in
I hold it close
A melody only silence knows
If I let it go
Will I begin
Or will the world stop if I hold it in
