The room still knows your name Even when I don’t speak it The walls learned how to listen When I forgot how to pray I stayed when I should’ve run I loved when it only burned I thought if I carried the weight The ground would forgive the hurt But some sins don’t scream They sleep They wait I built a home out of silence And called it being strong Where the cold remembers Every word I couldn’t say Where forgiveness freezes Before it learns my name I walk through empty answers I kneel but never mend This is where the cold remembers And it knows me in the end I tried to wash the blood away With time and borrowed light But memory doesn’t fade It just learns how to hide I don’t ask to be forgiven I don’t ask to be clean I just need to understand What you still see in me Where the cold remembers I hear you call my name Not to blame, not to save Just to say you stayed If love is a punishment I’ll serve it quietly If this pain is all I have Then let it stay with me Where the cold remembers I stop running from the truth I don’t need redemption I just need to lose What I was before the fire What I became to survive This is where the cold remembers And I finally stop asking why Stay… If you’re still here
