Cold Ministry

[Verse 1]  
Your coat was zipped too high  
You stood beneath the wires  
The air refused to move  
We shared the sound of tires  

[Chorus]  
I heard you breathing slow  
Like something left to know  
We watched the world pass by  
And never wondered why  
I heard you breathing slow  
Like something left to know  

[Verse 2]  
A bus arrived then turned away  
You blinked but didn’t stay  
Your hands were pale and bare  
The sky was split with glare  

[Bridge]  
Some places hold a weightless war  
A quiet pain behind the door  
We speak in steps we never take  
And leave the truth too soft to break  

[Chorus]  
I heard you breathing slow  
Like something left to know  
We watched the world pass by  
And never wondered why  

[Outro]  
You crossed the street alone  
The light had turned unknown
