Needle Silence

Male – Verse 1] Damn… You don’t speak, you pierce Every word like a needle through the silence in here I ain’t bleeding, but I feel it in my chest somehow Like you found every place I never said out loud [Female – Verse 1 Response] Yeah I feel you… every word you don’t say Like your soul’s been talking but your mouth delays And I’ve been right here hearing every hidden truth Even when you try to hide it, I still feel you ⸻ [Male – Pre-Chorus] I’ve known love… or at least I thought I did [Female – Pre-Chorus Response] No… this right here something deeper than it is [Both] It’s a language we ain’t learned but we speak Somewhere underneath everything we try to be ⸻ [Both – Chorus] You’re the breath I didn’t know I needed Every word got my whole soul leaning If you stop, I might fade away Like I’m living in the things you say It’s a fire we can’t outrun Burns so deep we come undone And no… these words ain’t even close To the way we feel it in our bones ⸻ [Female – Verse 2] It’s like time stops every time you look my way Like the world fades out, we don’t have to say Nothing at all, but it says everything In the quiet, I can hear your heart speak [Male – Verse 2 Response] You ain’t just heard, you’re felt in waves Crash over everything I tried to save And I’m drowning… but it feels like air Like I finally found something real in here ⸻ [Both – Pre-Chorus] We’ve been lost in shadows, chasing what ain’t real Now we standing in something we can actually feel It’s deeper than the words we’re trying to use Like the truth got a language we can’t even prove ⸻ [Both – Chorus] You’re the breath I didn’t know I needed Every word got my whole soul leaning If you stop, I might fade away Like I’m living in the things you say It’s a fire we can’t outrun Burns so deep we come undone And no… these words ain’t even close To the way we feel it in our bones ⸻ [Bridge – alternating, soft] Male: How do I say this… Female: When words don’t reach this deep Male: Every word you speak… Female: Feels like life to me Both: And if it all goes quiet… We don’t know if we survive ⸻ [Final Chorus – full harmony] You’re the breath I didn’t know I needed Every word got my whole soul leaning If you stop, we might fade away Like we’re living in the things you say You’re the fire and the wound and the healing Every second got our whole world reeling And no… these words ain’t even close But it’s everything we’ve got to show ⸻ [Outro – soft harmony] Damn… If this is love… Then words were never enough
