The Unspoken Speaks Louder

[Verse 1] Dust on the bulbs Steps creak under me Boxes like bodies Stacked history, sleeping Smell of old storms Locked in these walls Names carved in timber Faded, but they call (hey) [Pre-Chorus] Something stirs In the still, in the stale Little sparks Slip through the veil I feel it breathe Right under my skin Every quiet corner Pulling me in [Chorus] Whispers, while spoken hold the eyes’ truths The unspoken speaks louder Hanging in the hush between my questions The unspoken speaks louder Every glance, every shiver of silence Says what the tongue can’t utter Whispers, while spoken hold the eyes’ truths The unspoken speaks louder [Verse 2] I go deeper down Past the last warm light Rust-bit doors Guard the edges of sight Lost halls of secrets Numbered, unnamed I trace cold letters They burn just the same (oh) [Pre-Chorus] That same strange pull A curl of unseen thread Little spells Spun in my head I breathe in dust It tastes like a sign Every locked memory Waiting in line [Chorus] Whispers, while spoken hold the eyes’ truths The unspoken speaks louder Hanging in the hush between my questions The unspoken speaks louder Every glance, every shiver of silence Says what the tongue can’t utter Whispers, while spoken hold the eyes’ truths The unspoken speaks louder [Bridge] This is the majik of life Hidden in the pause, not the word In the way a hand shakes, then settles In the stories we never heard This is the majik of life Where the quiet cuts like a knife In the cracks of what we confess Our secret selves come to light [Chorus] Whispers, while spoken hold the eyes’ truths The unspoken speaks louder Hanging in the hush between my questions The unspoken speaks louder Every glance, every shiver of silence Says what the tongue can’t utter Whispers, while spoken hold the eyes’ truths The unspoken speaks louder
