The Collector of Silence

[Verse 1] There is a garden Where no flowers ever bloom Still I walk among them Every afternoon Every smile feels borrowed Every hand feels cold Every story ends Before it's ever told [Pre-Chorus] I never raise my voice I never force the door Silence always finds What I'm looking for [Chorus] I collect the silence Not the names Not the faces Only empty echoes Left behind In forgotten places No one ever notices I'm still sitting here Like a shadow Without fear [Verse 2] Pictures gather dust Frames remain the same Empty chairs remember Someone I won't name Every room is breathing Every wall can see But they keep my secrets Just like they keep me [Bridge] I've never hated I've never loved Only wondered What remains When every heartbeat Becomes a memory Like a child Taking apart a clock Searching... For the sound Inside the time [Final Chorus] I collect the silence It never argues It never cries It simply settles Like winter Over every goodbye Maybe they'll call me A monster Maybe they're right But every monster Believes He's only Putting the world Back into place [Outro] When every light Has disappeared This house Will finally sound Exactly Like home.
