[Intro] The room is breathing softly in light as cold as glass I count the cracks around me instead of counting on the past [Verse 1] Good evening, silent one you stand like something true you know how many times I came back without coming back to life too You know where the cup is hiding with Sunday left inside you know how long one minute feels beneath the sheets at night [Pre-Chorus] You don’t ask why I’m sleepless you don’t ask why I don’t eat you only hold the heavy things that hope has left in me [Chorus] Silent one, stay with me when everything falls apart when even my own voice won’t speak to my own heart Silent one, watch me here don’t turn your face away I’m learning how to disappear a little less each day [Verse 2] The frames lie on the floor now small windows with no view I used to hang myself in them now dust is passing through I don’t have strength to lift them or name what I became I trace a road across the glass to dreams I cannot claim [Pre-Chorus] You don’t tell me to be brave you don’t try to fix my face you don’t pretend tomorrow is waiting in its place [Chorus] Silent one, stay with me when everything falls apart when even my own voice won’t speak to my own heart Silent one, watch me here don’t turn your face away I’m learning how to disappear a little less each day [Bridge] And when they say, “it’s nothing” and when they say, “just rise” you’ll show them all the hidden marks I carry in my eyes There are nights without an ending there are mornings without doors but inside your quiet silence I still find one warm corner more [Final Chorus] Silent one, stay with me let this room remember me even if I fade halfway like a match, like a melody Silent one, hold me close with your cold and gentle hand till my heart learns how to beat not against me — but again [Outro] The room is breathing softly the wall says nothing still but for the first time in forever I’m not afraid to feel
