[Verse 1] Dust on the mantel Names in a frame I forgot Coffee rings Curled-up receipts Life in a shoebox of thought Curtains are breathing Street hum just under my door Calendar stuck on a Thursday Who was I waiting for? [Chorus] I am starless in a brightened sky Blank constellations passing by Every window Every room Still I orbit around this quiet Around this quiet Around this quiet of you [Verse 2] Books with their spines cracked Folded pages marking a war Half-finished letters to someone I don’t write to anymore Jacket that holds your perfume Sleeves like a pair of old hands Hanging there Asking a question I still can’t understand [Chorus] I am starless in a brightened sky Blank constellations passing by Every window Every room Still I orbit around this quiet Around this quiet Around this quiet of you [Bridge] If I move this chair If I paint this wall If I scrape your name From the hallway call Will the ceiling fall? Will the silence break? Or is all this weight Only mine to make? [Chorus] I am starless in a brightened sky Blank constellations passing by Every window Every room Still I orbit around this quiet Around this quiet Around this quiet of you [Outro] [Instrumental swell Guitars and strings stretching a single unresolved chord as vocal hums wordlessly]
