Down to the Quiet Sky

[Intro] Soft hum of engines, daylight thinning out to blue A quiet heartbeat in the cabin, pulling me to you [Verse 1] The map is melting in my hands, routes fade to pale I breathe in steady, letting go of every old detail The world grows small, a tiny playground in the air I carve a path with hope, a whispered dare to dare [Pre-Chorus] I’m leaving what I know, chasing a whispered hill Across the edge of distance, I’m climbing toward the thrill [Chorus] I feel a strange comfort as the world shrinks below Toward an unknown sunset, I drift where rivers don’t flow If fear comes close, I’ll smile and let it go Here in the quiet sky, I find a home I’ll never know [Verse 2] Stars stitched in the windshield, signs fade into light Somewhere ahead a glow hints at a brand-new night The compass spins to listen to a future’s soft decree I sail this quiet open road, where I’m meant to be [Pre-Chorus] Leaving the familiar glow, I answer the new draw With every mile I’m choosing less and more at once, in awe [Chorus] I feel a strange comfort as the world shrinks below Toward an unknown sunset, I drift where rivers don’t flow If fear comes close, I’ll smile and let it go Here in the quiet sky, I find a home I’ll never know [Bridge] Gravity loosens its grip, I float on patient breeze The horizon stitches promises in threads of silver seas [Chorus] I feel a strange comfort as the world shrinks below Toward an unknown sunset, I drift where rivers don’t flow If fear comes close, I’ll smile and let it go Here in the quiet sky, I find a home I’ll never know [Outro] Whispered far-aways guide me onward, calm and slow The tiny planet sighs goodnight as I drift and softly grow
