Steam and Quiet
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
The water goes still while the steam climbs the tiles
You're warm in my arms, not a worry in sight
I'll hold you through every small sound that the house makes
And carry you gently on into the night

[Pre-chorus]
Your breathing has slowed to the pace of the steam
Your eyes are so heavy, they're closing like doors
I feel you go soft as you drift into

[Chorus]
August, the whole house is holding its breath for you
Nothing can reach you while I'm standing near
August, I'll keep every shadow from finding you
You're safe as the stillness, you're safe right here

[Verse 2]
The tiles have gone dark now, the water has cooled
But you are still warm underneath every fold
I wrap you up tighter and hum something wordless
A song only you and this quiet house hold

[Chorus]
August, the whole house is holding its breath for you
Nothing can reach you while I'm standing near
August, I'll keep every shadow from finding you
You're safe as the stillness, you're safe right here

[Bridge]
Let the steam settle soft where the dark used to be
There's nothing to fear in this house, only me

[Chorus]
August, the whole house is holding its breath for you
Nothing can reach you while I'm standing near
August, I'll keep every shadow from finding you
You're safe as the stillness, you're safe right here

[Outro]
The steam has all faded, the tiles have gone cold
But you are still held here, still warm, still whole
