(Verse 1 – hushed, confessional) Back in the city of silver and steel, Where the stars look clean and the wounds can’t heal. I walk the halls they built for light, But all I feel is the echo of night. They speak of monsters, They sing of war… But I keep hearing something more. (Chorus – soft, aching) His voice in the silence— Low and rough like a storm held still. I shouldn’t remember the way it felt To listen, not to kill. But I do… And I do. And I don’t know what that means for me now. (Verse 2 – uncertain, laced with guilt) They praise my heart, say it burns so bright, But it flickers when I close my eyes at night. Because he wasn’t cruel, Not like they said… Just tired and real and filled with dread. And when he spoke, It wasn’t lies… Just truth with too much pain inside. (Chorus – stronger, conflicted) His voice in the silence— A sound I’m not supposed to miss. But it follows me like a shadow’s breath And trembles in each wish. I should hate… But I wait… For the moment it fades, and it never does. (Bridge – quiet, trembling) I fought to forget, I tried to stay gold. But how do you sever A bond you didn’t mean to hold? (Final Chorus – breaking and soft again) His voice in the silence— It lingers where prayers don’t go. And maybe it’s wrong, maybe it’s war… But it’s the only sound I know. I still shine, I still burn— But I’m not the same girl who swore. Because his voice In the silence Is something I can’t ignore.
