[Intro – minimal, close vocal] The silence you left is taking it still… Sitting in the gaps… not moving… [Verse 1 – rhythmic, rap-like flow] The silence you left is taking its toll I gotta rise up, let it move, take control Been sitting too long in the back of my head Where the words don’t land and the feeling don’t spread You were there, now you’re not, now you fade in the frame Just a flicker of a thought I can’t quite name Like a ghost in the rhythm, like a step out of time Like I’m chasing something that was never mine Locked inside but I’m saying “I’m good” Say it twice like it does what it should “I’m fine… I’m fine…” yeah I know that line But it echoes different every single time [Pre-Chorus – lift] And it builds in the quiet Where I try to deny it [Chorus – slow, heavy, emotional] But the silence grows And the weight won’t go Every vice I hold Takes another toll In the dark, I fall Will they hear me call? Or is nothing there Nothing left at all? [Verse 2 – more intensity, same flow] You keep moving like it’s all okay Same face, same line every day But the cracks don’t show till they break the skin Till the noise outside meets the noise within Now it’s louder but it’s still not sound Like a pressure pulling underground Like a thought that spins but don’t resolve Like a problem that you can’t evolve You’re not here, you’re not there, just a passing trace Of a time, of a thing, of a different place And I try to hold but it slips away Like it never really chose to stay [Pre-Chorus] And I feel it now Even with no sound [Chorus – bigger] And the silence grows And it overflows Every word I hide Every truth I close In the dark, I call But it hits a wall If I disappear Will they hear at all? [Bridge – stripped, almost whispered] Say it out… say it clear… Even if there’s no one here… Say it once… let it go… Or it stays where no one knows… [Build – rising, heartbeat + low bass] It was never gone Just waiting on A moment to break through [Final Chorus – full release] Through the silence, I rise From the weight inside Every buried line Now I redefine If I fall, I choose What I keep, what I lose I won’t fade away In the quiet you made [Outro – soft, fading] The silence you left… It don’t hold me now…
