Why Don’t You Reach Out (Into the Silence)

Alternative metal, 2010 Metalcore, Melodic, Dynamic, Alternative rock, Tense

**[Verse 1]**

Oooooohhhh....

I'm stuck in this room, 
four walls closing in,  
Heart’s on fire but the light’s growing thin.  
I’m drowning in echoes of words you don’t say,  
Another empty night where you fade away.

Fingers on the phone, 
but you never call,  
I’m standing on the edge, 
waiting for the fall.  
I scream into the dark, 
but it never gets through,  
I’m holding on, 
but I’m breaking without you.

---

**[Pre-Chorus]**

And every second’s like a knife, 
cutting deep inside,  
I’m trapped in the silence, 
where you used to confide.  
Is it too much to ask, 
for just one sign?  
A whisper, a breath, 
 just cross that line.

---

**[Chorus]**

Why don’t you reach out into the silence?  
Why can’t you break through all of this violence?  
I’m standing here, 
I’m screaming your name,  
But you’re so far away, 
playing your game.  
Why don’t you reach out before I disappear?  
The shadows are closer when you’re not here.  
I’m losing myself, 
lost in the doubt,  
So why don’t you reach out?

---

**[Verse 2]**

The nights are getting longer, 
I’m numb to the pain,  
Your voice is a ghost that haunts me in vain.  
Every memory’s a prison, 
I can’t escape,  
I’m locked in this nightmare, 
a twisted shape.

The silence is heavy, 
it’s crushing my soul,  
Without you, I’m empty, 
a half that’s not whole.  
I’m standing in the wreckage of what we could be,  
But you’re slipping away like a fading dream.

---

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I’ve been waiting for a sign, 
but nothing comes,  
Every second ticks by, 
and I’m feeling numb.  
Is there a reason you won’t break the chains?  
Or is this the end, where only pain remains?

---

**[Chorus]**

---

**[Bridge]**

I can’t breathe, 
I can’t see,  
I’m drowning in what used to be.  
Reach out, 
before I break,  
Before I’m just a ghost in your wake.

Just one word, 
and I’ll hold on,  
Before I’m too far gone.  
Reach out, 
reach out to me,  
Before this silence swallows me completely.

---

**[Chorus]**

---

**[Outro]**

Why don’t you reach out? (I’m fading away...)  
Why don’t you reach out? (I’m losing the way...)  
Why don’t you reach out…  
Before I’m gone?
