The clock is ticking, but the hands don’t move Hallways shrink, judging every groove My heartbeat whispers, A muted drum The room exhales, And my body goes numb Everything’s gone quiet, Too quiet to ignore The silence wraps me tight I’m turning the lock, but it won’t open the door Everything’s gone quiet, Louder than before A bellowing scream of essence Echoes straight to the core A candle flickers but it won’t catch fire The air is heavy, Like it’s soaked in desire Words I’d speak are trapped in my throat I’m a captain of this ship But it won’t even float Shattered pieces of me Mirror my fractured spirit Each shard whispers Of a dream that vanished Everything’s gone quiet, Too quiet to ignore The silence wraps me tight I’m turning the lock, but it won’t open the door Everything’s gone quiet, Louder than before A bellowing scream of essence Echoes straight to the core I shout, I cry Tears explode at the seams But the quiet devours everything It feasts on the dreams It’s not just absence It’s the weight of sound A deafening nothing, pinning me to the ground Everything’s gone quiet, Too quiet to ignore The silence wraps me tight I’m turning the lock, but it won’t open the door Everything’s gone quiet, Louder than before A bellowing scream of essence Echoes straight to the core
