[Verse 1] I am the echo in the marble hall, Bones gone hollow from carrying the call. Candle’s gutter, shadow’s hush, I learned your silence, I made it my crutch. If you hear me, hush—don’t move, don’t breathe; I am all the things I never could leave. [Pre-Chorus] Under silver ceilings, I lie awake— Tracing every line you used to break. Light bends, a question, Names carved in frost; Nothing you gave me is ever lost. [Chorus] So I keep singing starless, Bright where you can’t see— Carve my silence into music, Build a kingdom out of need. And if you find me, trembling, On the far side of the night— Don’t save me from the darkness; Let me earn the right to light. [Verse 2] Hands on the window, breath in the glass, Dreams flicker quick and shatter like brass. Memory’s hunger, sharp as a knife— I count my losses and call it a life. Midnight confessions the city won’t keep; I am all the secrets you gave me to keep. [Pre-Chorus] Under starless heavens, I wait for dawn— Sing your name quietly, long after you’re gone. Twelve thousand wishes Scattered like dust; I am the ache that refuses to rust. [Chorus] So I keep singing starless, Bright where you can’t see— Carve my silence into music, Build a kingdom out of need. And if you find me, trembling, On the far side of the night— Don’t save me from the darkness; Let me earn the right to light. [Bridge] All that I wanted was less than forgiveness— Only a reason, only your witness. Haunted by hope I could never outgrow— Learning to live in the afterglow. [Chorus] So I keep singing starless, Bright where you can’t see— Carve my silence into music, Build a kingdom out of need. And if you find me, trembling, On the far side of the night— Don’t save me from the darkness; Let me earn the right to light. [Outro] If you hear me, hush— Don’t move, don’t breathe— I am all the things I never could leave.
