From the recording In This Honest House
An intimate cinematic pop ballad with felt piano ostinato, cello leads, and wide string pads—low and steady, light left on. “In This Honest House” keeps boundaries with kindness: if love wants to live here, it lives right here. Final chorus widens with a distant male-choir pad and gentle acoustic shimmer. (Label: Honest House Records. ISRC: QZZ7K2522358. UPC: 199732528125.)

Lyrics
Floorboards remember the weight of our feet
How I learned breathing so you could breathe
I keep a clear counter, a quiet room
A clock that is gentle and never on
Go slow if you need, but don't disappear
If love wants to live here, it lives right here
In this honest house I breathe
Low and steady, nothing up my sleeve
If you come, come home
No hidden mouth, I keep the light on
In this honest house
In this honest house
I stay open windows, ordinary day
If you come, come see
Not shadows doused, I keep the light on
In this honest house
I set out the cups like a prayer for two
But drink without panic, with or without you
I won't trade my calm for a borrowed role
I've learned to be keeper of my own soul
Go slow if you need, but don't disappear
If love wants to live here, it lives right here
In this honest house I breathe
Low and steady, nothing up my sleeve
In this honest house
One night on mercy by breaking the frame
White lights and questions, then I reclaim
The part of my body I'd given away
My health, my heart, I keep it this way
In this honest house I breathe
Low and steady, nothing up my sleeve
If you come, come home
No hidden mouth, I keep the light on
In this honest house
In this honest house I stay open windows, ordinary day
If you come, come see
We'll make it count
In this honest house
I'm found
I'm found
I'm found.
