The White Truth
The story
Some nights I can't sleep, and I talk to something I can't name, and it answers back in quiet flame. Too many thoughts fall like summer rain for one old brain, and instead of running I let them in. I'm not asking for a sign anymore. I'm just here, and that turns out to be enough. The truth I trust doesn't shout and doesn't prove; it burns low, like a candle in a mirror room.
Lyrics
Curtain’s drawn, a glow on green White sky hums like a memory There's a breath beside my skin Silent, warm — the shape I’m in I speak to something I can't name It answers back in quiet flame And though the world just spins away I’m still right here, I choose to stay The white truth Is all I have when night breaks through Not black, not blue — just soft and true It doesn’t shout, it doesn’t prove It just burns low Like a candle in a mirror room Thoughts fall fast like summer rain Too many stars for one old brain But I don’t run, I let them in They light me up from deep within I’m not alone, not quite awake But something holy starts to shake And if I never find the “why” At least I burned, at least I tried The white truth Is all I have when night breaks through Not black, not blue — just soft and true It doesn’t shout, it doesn’t prove It just burns low Like a candle in a mirror room I’m not asking for a sign I’m just here, and that’s divine If no one hears, if no one knows The fire still glows The white truth Is all I need when I lose you Not right, not wrong — just what I do It doesn’t end, it doesn’t bloom It just holds me Like a whisper in a quiet room
