Soft as Wax
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Soft as wax that pools and settles into quiet, warm and slow
You are curling into stillness while the dark begins to bend
Every worry of the daylight has somewhere safe to go
Close your eyes, my little Ember, let the soft night be your friend

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the glow around you finally start to fold
Nothing here will hurry past you, nothing here turns cold
I am staying till you're drifting, till the story's told

[Chorus]
Ember, Ember, sleep is calling soft and slender through the air
You are held here, you are gentle, you are tender everywhere
Ember, Ember, dreams are pooling low and warm without a care
Rest inside the light that loves you, safe and known and always there

[Verse 2]
Wick and wax both lean together, never asking to be seen
Even quiet things are precious, even small lights hold their ground
You don't have to shine for anyone to know how loved you've been
In this hush you are the warmest, softest thing that can be found

[Bridge]
Let the evening wrap around you slow as candlelight can fall
Nothing asks you to remember, nothing asks you to surrender all

[Chorus]
Ember, Ember, sleep is calling soft and slender through the air
You are held here, you are gentle, you are tender everywhere
Ember, Ember, dreams are pooling low and warm without a care
Rest inside the light that loves you, safe and known and always there

[Outro]
Melt into the quiet like the wax that pools below the flame
Sleep now, little Ember, you will wake up loved the same
