Soft Static
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
The little speaker hums a soft and grey goodnight upon the boards
Its quiet hiss is folding round the room in slow, warm cords
Jackie, close your eyes and let the hush come drifting near
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever raise its voice toward yours

[Pre-chorus]
Breathe with the static, low and slow, and let the day go still
Every worry you were holding can uncurl and rest until
Sleep comes soft as static, waiting just beyond the hill

[Chorus]
Jackie, Jackie, the night is holding you so gently now
Rest inside the hum, and let it show you how
Sleep is just a warm and steady sound that never ends
You are safe as Jackie always is, however soft or loud

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the speaker's hiss the whole wide world is turning slow
Yet nothing far away can touch the corner where you go
Feel the pine boards steady underneath the quiet, humming glow
You are wrapped as warm as anything that this small room can know

[Chorus]
Jackie, Jackie, the night is holding you so gently now
Rest inside the hum, and let it show you how
Sleep is just a warm and steady sound that never ends
You are safe as Jackie always is, however soft or loud

[Bridge]
Hush now, let the small grey murmur carry you along
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to right a wrong
You can let the whole night lean its weight on you so light
Drifting slow as breath into the folds of one soft song

[Chorus]
Jackie, Jackie, the night is holding you so gently now
Rest inside the hum, and let it show you how
Sleep is just a warm and steady sound that never ends
You are safe as Jackie always is, however soft or loud

[Outro]
The speaker hums its low goodnight upon the quiet floor
Sleep well, dear Jackie, safe and held till morning's at the door
