[Verse 1] I leave the light on, but it doesn’t stay, the room is full of echoes that know my name. Every word I’ve swallowed weighs on my chest, like letters unread, like prayers unblessed. [Pre-Chorus] You can’t outrun the dark inside, it follows close, it never hides. And in the mirror, I can see the ghost is always me. [Chorus] I’m drowning in the silence between, where the shadows talk, but no one believes. Every tear’s a map I trace, back to a place I can’t escape. The silence between, it keeps breaking me. [Verse 2] The past returns like a scar that bleeds, a voice in the night that won’t let me sleep. It whispers truths I can’t deny, turning every breath into goodbye. [Pre-Chorus] You can’t unhear the things they say, the demons sing in their own way. And I can’t find the strength to scream, I’m sinking in the dream. [Chorus] I’m drowning in the silence between, where the shadows talk, but no one believes. Every tear’s a map I trace, back to a place I can’t escape. The silence between, it keeps breaking me. [Bridge – Distant Voice / Layered Whisper] “Stay… you belong to me. Pray… but you’ll never be free.” I try to run, but the chains are thin air, the weight of nothing is more than I bear. [Final Chorus – Fragile, Breaking] I’m drowning in the silence between, where the shadows talk, and I still believe. Every tear’s a map I trace, leading me back to your embrace. The silence between, is all that’s left of me. [Outro] The light is fading, I let it go. In the quiet, I’m never alone.
