Nosus Stlich

Intro

ah-ah, heyo (hey)

mm-mm, come on

Verse

I found your name folded in paper and rain

Nosus Stlich written like a map to my veins

Strange syllables that pull me, pull me like tide

I say them quiet, then I say them out wide

You move through the room like a riddle on wheels

I reach for the sound and I start to reveal

What the letters mean when the lights go low

A language that only the late-night know

Pre-chorus

Slow now, let it settle (let it settle)

Taste the way the consonants meddle (ah)

Turn the strange into something I can hold

Turn the unknown into gold

Chorus

Nosus Stlich, nud Iaxallhoaxa (oh)

Nosus Stlich, nud Iaxallhoaxa (come on)

Nosus Stlich, nud Iaxallhoaxa

Nosus Stlich, nud Iaxallhoaxa (oh-oh)

Verse

We trade the skyline for a whispering chord

Your laugh is the reason the hush gets ignored

Letters like lanterns, they guide and they tease

I say them to steady, I say them to freeze

When the world gets heavy and names lose their place

I roll that phrase like a coin in my space

It rings, it returns, it folds up the night

Nosus Stlich teaching me how to fight

Pre-chorus

Hold tight, let it shimmer (shimmer)

Let the syllables linger (linger)

Call it back when the noise grows cold

Call it back and take hold

Chorus

Nosus Stlich, nud Iaxallhoaxa (yeah)

Nosus Stlich, nud Iaxallhoaxa (hey)

Nosus Stlich, nud Iaxallhoaxa

Nosus Stlich, nud Iaxallhoaxa (na-na)

Bridge

Say it slow — No-sus Stlich (No-sus)

Say it loud — Iaxal-loa-xa (Iaxal-loa-xa)

Feel it break, feel it bend, feel it mend (feel it mend)

A word becomes a promise again (again)

Heh, ah, ah — come on now, sing it with me

Heh, ah, ah — this is how we set it free

Chorus

Nosus Stlich, nud Iaxallhoaxa (oh-oh)

Nosus Stlich, nud Iaxallhoaxa (oh-oh)

Nosus Stlich, nud Iaxallhoaxa (oh-oh)

Nosus Stlich, nud Iaxallhoaxa (oh-oh)

Outro
