[Verse] Walk these halls where shadows creep Whisper secrets I can’t keep A ghost of me in every room I prayed for light inside this gloom [Verse 2] My footsteps fade yet linger still Carried by a restless will What’s left behind they can’t erase A hollow smile on every face [Chorus] I hope the silence is deafening When my song stops echoing A quiet storm will fill the air I hope the silence is deafening When my song stops echoing A quiet storm will fill the air When they realize I’m not there [Verse 3] Every word I left unsaid Rings louder now inside their heads No noise to numb what they have done My absence weighs a thousand tons [Verse 4] They’ll crave my laughter’s melody But find it’s gone eternally I gave them more than they could hold But now the warmth has turned to cold [Chorus] I hope the silence is deafening When my song stops echoing A quiet storm will fill the air I hope the silence is deafening When my song stops echoing A quiet storm will fill the air I hope the silence is deafening When my song stops echoing A quiet storm will fill the air When they realize I’m not there
