[VERSE 1] Silence drags heavy through the room. Fault lines twitch, waiting for the boom. Distance cuts sharp across the floor. Doorframes ache like they’ve seen this war. [PRE CHORUS 1] Swallowed words scrape the throat to blood. Truth hits the edge, then drowns in mud. [CHORUS] Nothing hit when it needed to. Moments broke, and we let them bruise. Truth stayed locked in a rust-stained cage. Call it strength, but it felt like rage. Silence screamed what we couldn’t face. [VERSE 2] Distance plants roots in every crack. Walls breathe hard like they want you back. Rehearsed lines die before they land. Guilt burns hot like a brand in sand. [PRE CHORUS 2] Every slip shows the mess beneath. Pressure builds in the space we keep. [BRIDGE] Almost spoke, but the spark went dead. Truth hit the tongue, then turned and fled. Stood on the line but froze in place. Nothing said — and it carved your face. [FINAL CHORUS] Nothing hit when it needed to. Moments broke, and we let them bruise. Truth stayed locked in a rust-stained cage. Call it strength, but it felt like rage. Silence won when the words came late.
