(Verse 1) The light in the hallway is cutting the dark A shadow is standing where we used to start You’re packing the silent things left in the room The dust on the windowsill heavy with gloom No screaming, no fury, no glass on the floor Just quiet air closing behind the front door (Pre-Chorus) And the tide doesn’t ask when it pulls from the shore It just takes what it held and leaves nothing more (Chorus) You’re leaving, and the silence is loud Like a storm clearing out, leaving cold on the ground I can hear every step as you walk down the hall Watching years turn to stone as the shadows fall Yeah, you’re leaving... And the air is running cold (Verse 2) The keys on the counter, a heavy iron weight We traded the anchor for hours saved too late I watched how the rust took a hold of the chain We mistook the shelter for part of the rain No drama, no promises broken in two Just two empty hands where I used to hold you (Pre-Chorus) And the tide doesn’t ask when it pulls from the shore It just takes what it held and leaves nothing more (Chorus) You’re leaving, and the silence is loud Like a storm clearing out, leaving cold on the ground I can hear every step as you walk down the hall Watching years turn to stone as the shadows fall Yeah, you’re leaving... And the air is running cold (Guitar Solo / Bridge) [Guitar Solo - heavy distortion, melancholic sustained notes, mid-tempo drum swell] You didn't break me, you just turned the page Left all the quiet inside of the cage No fire to burn, no water to save Just pulling the stone from the edge of the grave (Chorus) You’re leaving, and the silence is loud Like a storm clearing out, leaving cold on the ground I can hear every step as you walk down the hall Watching years turn to stone as the shadows fall Yeah, you’re leaving... (Outro) The door softly clicks The hallway grows still You’re leaving... [Fading guitar feedback, slow drum finish] [End]
