Where I am (the ground will shift)

Lyrics

[INTRO | SPOKEN | CLOSE VOCAL] the ground doesn’t shift it stays where i am i’m just arriving i am near the sky feels near in my stillness i draw near i am here [VOCAL CHOPS:] ground— ground [VOCAL CHOPS:] arrive— arrive [VOCAL CHOPS:] near— near [VOCAL CHOPS:] where i am [VOCAL CHOPS:] ross i am [VERSE 1 | LOW VOCAL | STEADY] morning on my shoulders night still in the room noise inside my head words all falling through light across the window not a sign not a flame just enough of something calling out my name [PRE-CHORUS | BUILDING] i don’t need an answer i don’t chase him down when the rush gets louder i come back down i don’t need a reason i don’t need to know nothing moves below me i’m just about to show [CHORUS | ANCHOR MANTRA] the ground doesn’t shift it stays where i am i’m just arriving i am near the sky feels near in my stillness i draw near i am here the ground doesn’t shift it stays where i am i am thriving i am near the sky feels near in my stillness i draw near i am here [POST-CHORUS | REPEATED HOOK] where i am where i am i am near i am near where i am where i am ross i am that’s my name [DROP | VOCAL CHOPS OVER BEAT] [VOCAL CHOPS:] i’m just arriving [VOCAL CHOPS:] arrive— arrive [VOCAL CHOPS:] nothing moves below [VOCAL CHOPS:] i am near [VOCAL CHOPS:] so near [VOCAL CHOPS:] where i am arriving arriving near near where i am where i am [VERSE 2 | MORE OPEN | MALE VOCAL] day comes in slowly not too fast not too loud warmth beneath the pavement light behind the cloud i was always reaching for another place then i stopped moving and i found my space [PRE-CHORUS | WIDER HARMONY] i don’t force the feeling i don’t chase him down when the rush gets louder i come back down there is something staying there is something known the ground doesn’t shift now nothing moves below [CHORUS | ANCHOR MANTRA] the ground doesn’t shift it stays where i am i’m just arriving i am near the sky feels near in my stillness i draw near i am here the ground doesn’t shift it stays where i am i am thriving i am near the sky feels near in my stillness i draw near i am here [BREAKDOWN | SPOKEN | BEAT PULLS BACK] i thought i had to run to become someone i thought i had to leave to find the sun but the room got quiet and the breath came back not a bright light not a sign just the ground below me just the day becoming mine [BUILD | STACKED VOCALS] where i am where i am i am near i am near i’m arriving arriving i am thriving thriving the ground doesn’t shift the ground doesn’t shift the sky feels near the sky feels near [FINAL CHORUS | FULL VOCAL | LIFTED] the ground doesn’t shift it stays where i am i’m just arriving i am near the sky feels near in my stillness i draw near i am here the ground doesn’t shift it stays where i am i am thriving i am near the sky feels near in my stillness i draw near i am here [OUTRO | DJ TOOL | REPEATING] where i am where i am i am near i am near ross i am ross i am the ground doesn’t shift it stays where i am
