The Voice Beneath The Silence

[Verse 1] I wake beneath the sky I cannot see Black water breathing over me I send my voice into the blue And wait for something to answer through Nothing [Verse 2] I learned the language of the deep Where every promise sinks to sleep I called through winter called through rain Through endless tides that came again The years went by like drifting sand I watched them disappear from my hands My voice grew thin my hope grew cold Still I sang into the undertow Maybe my voice was never meant to cross this ocean's distance Maybe I'm calling the wrong way Maybe silence is the answer But somewhere underneath the fear Something refuses to disappear [Chorus] So I call into the darkness I call and nobody hears I send my heart through the water I send it through all of these years If the ocean won't answer I'll sing through the blue If nobody knows me I'll still be true I'm not calling to be found anymore I'm calling because I'm still here [Verse 3] There were nights I almost stopped Let the silence take what it had not I thought maybe I'd finally rest If I buried the voice inside my chest I had forgotten how it felt to hear another heartbeat close So I became a ghost beneath the waves Learning how to live without a name Somewhere in a frequency no one knew I left a piece of myself in the blue A sound too strange for the world above A voice that only asked for love And I hated every empty mile Every echo wearing someone's smile But the tide kept pulling me forward And something inside me answered not yet [Chorus] So I call into the darkness I call and nobody hears I send my heart through the water I send it through all of these years If the ocean won't answer I'll sing through the blue If nobody knows me I'll still be true I'm not calling to be found anymore I'm calling because I'm still here [Bridge] Maybe I was never broken Maybe I was never wrong Maybe the silence wasn't telling me that I didn't belong It was only silence And I've spent all these years Mistaking the empty for an answer [Chorus] So let the water rise Let the darkness come Let the years fall behind me one by one I don't need an echo I don't need a hand I don't need the whole world to finally understand I know my voice So I call into the darkness I call and I don't fear the blue I send my heart through the water Not waiting for someone to choose If the ocean won't answer I'll sing through the night If nobody finds me I'll still make my light I'm not calling to be found anymore I'm calling because I'm alive And if all I ever hear is my echo Then I'll teach that echo to rise I called for years and nobody came But I am still here Still singing Still here Can you hear me I can
