[Intro – near silence, distant air] … (counting fades out) [Verse 1 – almost whispered] I waited for the final sound For something breaking, something loud But all that came was quiet breath Like time forgetting how to step [Pre-Chorus – low, fragile] No bells rang No lights went out The world just stopped Keeping count [Chorus – restrained, slow] This is the thirteenth silence No fear, no violence Just the space between What was said And what it meant This is the thirteenth silence No name, no guidance Just the weight Of letting go At last [Verse 2 – soft, intimate] I thought the end would feel like fire Or answers written in the wire But truth arrived without a sound And laid its head on holy ground [Pre-Chorus – fading harmony] Nothing left To prove or chase No shadow standing In my place [Chorus – quieter than before] This is the thirteenth silence No curse, no defiance Just a moment Learning how To rest [Bridge – spoken or whispered] If this is all that’s left of me Then let it be If this is where the counting ends Then let it end [Final Chorus – barely there] This is the thirteenth silence No need to fight it Just the stillness I was missing All along [Outro – instruments fade, no resolution] … (no count)
